For the best experience, please communicate any issues or questions to us and our guide — we are always ready to assist.
Due to the currents and tides, as well as waste from other places flowing into Ha Long Bay, sometimes you will see garbage in Ha Long Bay. The government, local people, tourism companies... are making efforts every day to clean Ha Long Bay.
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.
Plastic water bottles are provided for free on the bus. However, please do not bring plastic bottles when checking in to the Ha Long Bay cruise, as they are not allowed on board.

5.00Sunny, the guide was super nice! Explained everything, gave us the important information and cares for us during the trip. Overall well organised! The only thing I would say is that the bus was really uncomfortable 😣. I have done several day tours in Hanoi and the buses were way more comfortable than this one.
