Was a great trip and was looked after from start the start with my tour guide DU, who was extremely helpful and looked after me completely through the transfer to the boat with his good energy and positivity which was needed as it started super early in the morning! Who then transferred me to Tiger who was also great and showed us around the island, which was amazing and not busy at all which is what i wanted, beautiful landscapes all the way through!

We had a good time with Duy who our guide on the bus and was very sweet. Appreciate his efforts to make us feel comfortable, right from pick up at Hotel Metropole to the ferry

Taken from start to finish. The day before transport reminder with RV location pzr message (time, map, photo). A motorcycle arrives before the bus to check that everything is there. Info in the coach to explain the procedure, we took the cable car option from Hanoi, to do! Then we are picked up on the other side (the bus takes the ferry). We stayed the day before in Cat Ba (nice beaches but city without more). The next day, excursion via this day guide and good surprise, it is the same team and the boat is the Serenity grandeur, super luxury, buffet at the top, swimming pool,... nice stop to get nibbled feet by cousins of the piranhas and drink a snake alcoholic (a double adventure) then bike back to the boat freely. We finish with a dive (be careful, the slides type well on arrival in the water, only flat...). In short, to do!!!

The cruise lived up to its name, a truly serene experience and our tour guide Happy also lived up to his name. He was full of energy and grace. The day was a perfect blend of activity and relaxation. They coordinated each group's specific pick up and drop off needs which was impressive and greatly appreciated. The experience was nothing short of magical and I would highly recommend it.

It is very relaxed and the guide is very communicative and knowledgeable! This tour provides you with a clean safe ship, great food and time to relax and enjoy the scenery. There was never a feeling of being rushed!
