5.00This tour was amazing. our Tour guides name was The. He helped organise everything. We had a great tour guide. He picked us up on time from our hotel. He coordinated the driver which took us to long Bay with a quick stop for the two hour drive. When we got to the marina, we got straight in as we’re using a local guide. We were taken straight to our boat and asked if we would like to have lunch straight away. Lunch included a bunch of different seafood dishes and all of it was really really good. by the time our lunch was finished, we were given the option to either take a boat with someone else rowing or we could do a self kayaking option as I was full from lunch. I opted for someone else to do the exercise for me. I don’t have any regrets with his choice. It also meant there was less chance of me losing my camera to the water. After the small boat ride, we went to 2 separate caves both extremely beautiful. One of them was less popular and subsequently absolutely quiet and there was no one else in it. For the price, I would absolutely recommend this private tour

5.00A spectacular day hosted by Hai and his crew. The service and food was amazing and the route taken to share the beautiful HaLong bay and surrounds, fantastic and beautiful beyond words. Thank you so much. We’ve been fortunate to visit a lot of Vietnam and today was definitely our highlight.

5.00Great trip overall, definitely recommend. Picked up from our hotel, was a good drive to the boat and was such an immersive experience. Especially for the cost and the length of the trip, would say this is a must do! It was a private tour so just our family and the staff were amazing.
Great Day Trip to Ha Long

5.00was picked up at my hotel on time by my tour guide The and a driver. It was a pleasant two hour drive through the countryside to Ha Long, where i got to ask a lot of questions. we didnt need to wait too long at the marina and got going pretty soon. maybe it was the time of year but had most destinations to myself (no crowds). food was delicious! the cave is super worth it!
Absolutely memorable experience!

5.00This has to be one of the most beautiful and relaxing tour experiences I ever had. We had a private boat and did not have to battle any crowds anywhere! In fact we had the cave all to ourselves and so many breathtaking photo opportunities on the water without a boat in sight. Hai was an excellent guide always tending to our needs from our dietary restrictions to great photo backdrops and everything in between. The boat staff was wonderful and the meal that was prepared for us onboard was delicious. Definitely a must do if visiting Hanoi.
