Gam was our tour guide. She picked us up from the port with a friendly smile. She was kind, knowledgeable and professional. We truly enjoyed our experience. The private boat to cruise around was phenomenal. We felt like royalty. The caves and overview of the bay are spectacular. A tour we would highly recommend.
Wonderful way to see Halong Bay!

We had such a great time with Robert and crew! The boat was fabulous and each stop was beautiful. The food that the chef made right on the boat was some of the best food we had on our whole trip. Robert was amazing and so knowledgeable. We could not recommend this experience more!
Just book it. Amazing day

What an amazing time and experience having the boat to ourselves on this private tour. The guide Robert, the boat crew and our driver knocked it out of the park. Fantastic fresh food with amazing views in the quieter part of the bay. Only regret was not being able to tip more to all. The money was low as it was end of trip. Highly recommend this day excursion.
Amazing, Private, Peaceful Experience

The trip was incredible. Our guide (Hai) was friendly and knowledgeable, while also giving us plenty of privacy. We had an entire cruise ship that holds 48 people to ourselves and were provided an extensive, delicious seafood lunch. Sailing through Halong Bay was peaceful and beautiful, but the best part was taking a bamboo boat into a lagoon. It felt magical with how quiet it was in there. I’d strongly recommend this to anyone, especially if you want privacy.
This is the one to pick!

We did a lot of research into the many Ha Long Bay tour options and eventually chose this one, after reading multiple itineraries and reviews. This was undoubtedly the best decision. The tour was completely private, including an entire boat for us. While we could see other boats crowding into the one area, we were taken on a quieter, scenic and more private route. Our guide, Robert, was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. His experience, along with that of our driver and the entire boat crew were evident. We also got to enjoy an incredible, fresh seafood lunch. Our family has travelled all over the world, and this is absolutely one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.
