    Great value trip that included food on the journey out and then took us to 3 stops. Ti Top Island where you can swim in the sea and hike to the top for great views, an island lagoon where you can either kayak or go on a larger paddle boat through a cave into a large lagoon, and an island that has an extensive cave system that you can walk around. You have to pay about GBP10 each for the national park entrance and the kayak or boat trip, but these are paid to the national park administration team through the tour operator and so couldn't be included in the price. It's all hectic as there are loads of other tour boats going to the same place es but was well managed and didn't impact our day. The boat was about fully occupied, but didnt seem crowded and we could always get a seat. Probably the most fun thing done so far on our trip. Would definately recommend as a great way to see the bay.

    An amazing experience we had a great day . Only thing in my opinion Travellers should be informed about the added fees for entrance and canoe before paying. Maybe combined together so you know the total cost upfront. But definitely a must do trip very well organised and spectacular.

    I went on this trip alone, but the moment I sat in the bus I met a friend. Our tour guide, Ken, shared some important knowledge about Vietnam and Ha Long Bay. Before everything started, they answered all of my concerns, kept in touch with me, and confirmed my pick up and drop off details. This was a relief when you’re traveling alone and coming from the airport, and not staying in a hotel. The bus ride from the Old Quarter was ~3 hours, with two quick stops. We reach Ha Long Bay Port to embark our cruise. It was around an hour getting there. The view of the limestone islands was such a beauty. We had our lunch inside while we were on our way there. And we went to Titop Mountain where there was also a beach. It was a nice place to chill. You can swim, but only for 45 minutes, so it’s up to you if you’ll just enjoy the view or enjoy the beach too. You can also climb the mountain. Next on the itinerary is the place where you could either kayak, ride the bamboo (lady) boat, or take a speedboat ride for an extra price. The kayak or bamboo boating area is small and limited, while you could explore and see more with the speedboat ride. It was so fun! I advice doing either bamboo boat (to just sit pretty and enjoy the view) or the speedboat (to enjoy the bay, its waves, the view, and sudden turns). That was unforgettable. Last was hiking up and down for ~1.5 km at Sunshine Cave. I couldn’t do it because of my physical limitations, so I just stayed in the boat. I’ve met some friends there and we had our girl bonding inside while everyone went outside. Lol. This was an unforgettable fun trip that I would like to do again when I go back to Vietnam. I hope my review helps you decide if you’ll be on this trip or not. Thank you, Sir Ken for the memorable and fun tour! Be blessed.
