Our pick up time was supposed to be at 8:00 , however the mini van came over half an hour later — during which time were left wondering around the pick up point in confusion with no response from the organiser. During our hike, it started raining allot, and so the rocks and slops became dangerously slippy. There were lots of steep sections with jagged rocks and some tall ledges, and so it took allot of effort to try and not loose balance and fall. The rest of our group, including the guide, left us behind throughout most of the walk, which made us stressed as we were trying to catch up whilst not injuring ourselves. The latter part of the trip, however, was quite nice as it was much less physically demanding. The jungle still looked incredible despite the rainy day, and we managed to get some good photos. I would definitely not recommend doing this trip on or after a rainy day.
Amazing

We really enjoyed all of it, the scenery is beautiful and the guide was great, he told us all about lots of the plants and insects that we encountered. It was a pretty small group as well which was nice (only 4 people).

The trek was excelent! Anh was really nice, with amazing english and intersting explanations. He was helpening us to finish the trek safely and with smiles on out faces. The trek was a bit hard, so its importent to bring a lot of water and sutible shoes. After trekking we eat lunch in viet hai villege, and went cycling to the boat. The views while cycling was extraordinary and worth every kilometer of trekking.
Not the best tour

Not the greatest tour. The hike itself is very long, repetitive and no view at all throughout the hike. When you finally arrive to Viet Hai village you realize there is absolutely nothing to do other than eating lunch. Then very short bike ride to the little boat and kayaking on the bay which is nice. The guide doesnt really speak english is more there to guide you and show you where to go. Also asked him to send me the group pictures on Whats App and never replied to me.
