Friend Group Experience

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was an incredible experience! We are so happy we chose the private experience as opposed to the group one. We got to take a more private route and kayaked through caves all by ourselves. Robert was an amazing tour guide who taught us so much and offered so many photos! Would definitely recommend this to any group!
Breathtaking Ha Long Bay Trip

5.00This experience was phenomenal. From a smooth pick up at our airbnb in hanoi, to an educational pearl farming experience, and finally a breathtaking kayak into isolated and peaceful lagoons, this experience was so worth it. We were provided a several course meal of yummy fresh cooked fishes, and even our friend who preferred no seafood had ample amounts of chicken and tofu dishes prepared for him in advance. This was one of the best parts of my trip to Vietnam and I will always remember it. Our guide Robert especially was so kind and attentive throughout. 10/10!

5.00Robert was an amazing tour guide, extremely friendly, always smiling, and wanting to get to know us as friends rather than just a tour group. He was incredibly informative and made this trip a memorable one. The staff on the boat were also top tier, always working with a smile and very attentive. As a bonus, the food was some of the best on the trip, and were also willing to accommodate those who were unable to eat seafood. Would highly recommend
Had an amazing time on this tour!

Calm and beauty away from the crowds

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an amazing time on this tour. Hai was a brilliant guide and all the other people who contributed to the tour provided an excellent service too. The tour promises quiet and calm and a route away from the big tourist crowds, and this is exactly what was delivered. We had a whole boat to ourselves with stunning views of the islands. When we visited the breathtaking cave, we were the only people there, and even the small boat journey was quiet, with very few other tourists around. Also the food served on board the boat was delicious. It is fresh seafood and fish, but a vegetarian meal was also provided upon request. We highly recommend this tour, it was a really special day that we will not forget - thank you!
A wonderfully private tour

5.00From the moment we were collected from our hotel by Hai and Hang, to the time we were dropped off in the early evening we experienced a magical excursion where we were treated like royalty. Our private tour was very much that - just the two of us being escorted around and being looked after attentively. We visited the oyster farm and were shown each stage of developing pearls. The onto Ha Long Bay, where we boarded our own authentic vessel which cruised around the stunning islands. Highlights were a visit to an incredible cave system, followed by a delicious lunch on board the boat. Full marks to the captain and his wife who were so wonderfully friendly and hospitable. In the afternoon we cruised to a lagoon where an authentic fisherwoman paddled us around. All in all it was an incredible experience made all the better by Hai and Hang. This was certainly one of our highlights of our visit to Vietnam.
