Oriental Sails rocks!!!

We had a very affordable and relaxing cruise which proved to be a delightful experience. Our tour guide Bin and the staff onboard Oriental Sails were very friendly and catered to all our needs. The food was sumptuous and beautifully presented. The rooms were very nice with lovely linen and old world charm, yet modern. The cooking class was fun and the Tai Chi class a special touch. The trip to all the caves and Ti Top island was well organised and interesting. I highly recommend this cruise for friends, couples or families who want value for money without breaking the bank.

Not a good choice for single travel

I need to say that I was disappointed. Boat is rather old, but that’s not the problem. Bathroom was not the cleanest. My room was next to the kitchen so no real relax. Up to the tour- you cannot pay by card, cash only and they charge on top VAT and service fee. Drinks - not a good quality for what you pay. Food - nothing amazing. Very low key. The “worst” avoid if you are solo traveller. Massive group of French people (nothing against but whole trip was a French party), 3 other couples and me, as a solo traveler. I was feeling out of place. On top - they cruise 1 h, put the anchor and that’s it- I was hoping more for a real cruise

Lovely & Highly Recommend

Our tour guide for this trip was Bin from Orientsl Cruise. We spent 2 days and 1 night in the junk boat. It was a very lovely experience. The service was quite excellent. Highly recommended.
