Ha Long Bay is Vietnam’s top destination and it is often crowded every day, special in summer and weekends. However, we always ensure smooth logistics and top-quality service for your best experience.

5.00Our one-day cruise of Ha Long Bay was an unforgettable experience. Nam, our fantastic tour guide, made the day extra special with his friendly and insightful approach. We started with a scenic hike on one of the islands, enjoying spectacular views and fresh air. Then, we kayaked through a cave. The highlight was entering a beautiful cave, marveling at its unique formations and mysterious ambiance. Overall, a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty that I highly recommend!
