5.00I had a great day in ha long bay with our guide sunny. Pickup was easy, and the bus was very comfortable, including charging ports and foot rests. There was plenty of lunch foods, but it's not the most amazing tasting meal, just fill up as you don't get back to the city until 9pm and it's only another light snack between then. Drinks on the boat are a little pricey, but it's a given since they have a monopoly. You cannot take single use plastic water bottles on the boat, only reusable ones, but there's no where on the boat to fill it up with filtered water. Water on the boat costs $25k for a 300ml can. The trip to the cave, island and kayaking are great, I would of loved more time on the island to hike + swim, but they prioritise having more time on the boat for the sunset party instead. People warned me that there's a lot of people/boats around the bay and it's very crowded on the islands. And it is, but it's a great day trip anyway, regardless of the crowds. Overall it was a great day trip if you want to get out of Hanoi for the day and see the coast.

5.00Booking this Ha Long Bay excursion through Viator was seamless. I received instant confirmation from the booking company and additional follow-up a day before to confirm hotel pick-up. Our guide Alex was also knowledgeabe and super friendly. There were about 10 dishes served during lunch including fish, shrimp, clams, papaya salad, cabbage stir fry and eggs. Food was delicious and plenty. This was ultimately a fun and memorable experience!

4.00Enjoyed the convenient pick-up and drop off at hotel. Our guide Alex did a great job keeping our group on time and providing information. The lunch provided a lot of options and was delicious. Make sure you bring water as the boat charges for each can. Unless you’re drinking alcohol then expect to pay. Overall, great scenery and plenty of photo ops. I recommend the power boat add-on, which allows you to see more of the bay.
Sunny is the best
