5.00It was a super exciting day tour. It was pure evening adventure for our family. Ti the guide was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The guide Joe was very experienced and gave us great information about Ha Long Bay. He made the tour totally exciting for us. He always made sure we didn't do the same thing with the other boats at the same time. The food that was prepared was so extensive and there was something for everyone. It was delicious. On Monkey Island you could climb to a lookout. It is not suitable for everyone, pays attention to good footwear. It was an all-round great trip.
Perfect.

5.00Really could not fault it. Such a fab day! Great experiences, food and crew. Extremely organised with transport and whole day was very smooth. Would highly recommend. They provide a towel for swimming but take sturdy shoes in case you climb a peak as some people struggled in flip flops. Saw monkeys, swam, kayaked, relaxed. Perfect! Nice to eat with other people from around the world. SUCH good value for money. Do this tour!
Active and fun day!

5.00Great experience! It was quite an active day with kayaking, swimming and climbing but Joe was great and allowed people to opt in and out of activities. We saw some amazing sights and the climbs and kayaks were worth the effort! Joe’s knowledge and experience of the area made this much more than just a boat trip. We loved it!
Lanha over halong bay any day!

5.00I joined this tour after my Halong Bay cruise the day before. If you really want to sail among and see the islands in both Halong and Lan Ha Bay, look no further and choose this one. I saw so much more today than the 2-day Halong Bay cruise where the cruise boat anchored near Titop Island most of the time. The tour is activity-packed - swimming, kayaking and optional rock climbing. Our guide Joe has done an excellent job in prioritising safety above all other things. He gave clear instruction before and during the actovities, not an easy job with 8 kayeks scattered around over quite a huge area. This is of utmost importance when we moved in and out of caves with tiny entrance so that accidents can be avoided. He is also very encouraging. When we climbed up the rocky slope in Monkey Island, we had to swim to the beach there first. He helped me bring my water-bag with shoes etc inside to the beach and kept motivating me when I was a bit intimitated by the need to climb the rocks in sandles! Although I didn't reach the top, I'm very thankful to Joe for his great support and enjoyed it a lot. Anorher staff T (Tin-tin) is also very helpful and has good logistic plan. He even cooked our yummy lunch. Basics like towels and snorkels were provided. Book this tour and you won't regret it!
Take the full day, kayak and visit monkey island. Joe was awesome and T was amazing

5.00I had an amazing day in Lan Ha Bay with Joe and T, it was great to have 1 Vietnamese guide and 1 from the UK. I've travelled a lot around Asia and some tours can feel a bit unsafe but not with T and Joe making sure everyone was safe. We kayaked and swam in the sea to beaches and hidden caves, normally a tour like that I wouldn't enjoy as I would be worried about my sons, but Joe is half man half fish and I felt confident in him keeping them safe in the water while T kept them laughing when on the boat. If your travelling with kids, I highly recommend it, I would also do the tour on my own.
