Private boat, amazing dinner, and caves
Joseph S,Apr 22, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was a magnificent experience. I took the whole family wife and kids and we had a blast even after flying 22 hours to get here. This is a unique experience with similar scenery as Guilin in China with a more intimate view of Heavenly Palace cave and a row boat ride through a couple tunnels underneath the rocks. Totally worth the $$$ to get your own boat especially for us because our flight delay made us late for this but it didn't impact the experience at all. The crew and guide were all pleasant and fun to talk with. Highly recommended for all travelers.
Private Ha Long Bay Trip with LoveVietnam Travel !!!

5.00This was the best experience in Vietnam !! A personal trip with our own driver and Robert is the most friendly and interesting guy. We had our own boat to take us around the stunning bay, with a cook who made us fresh oysters, shrimp, the best spring rolls, delicious sea bass , fresh crab and fresh fruit. We were taken into a stunning cave which was unbelievable, and the lagoons we accessed via a little wooden rowing boat were so tranquil . It was the most perfect day trip , you must do this and miss the crowds and the queuing , it is the most relaxing , stunning trip - thank you Robert .

5.00Tour guide, Hai, was excellent for the entire tour. He paid close attention to our questions and needs. The experience of this trip was top notch. I would recommend to all, to request Hai for your guide. The private tour was worth everything. Heaven Cave should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Excellent private tour

5.00Hai was a superior tour guide. The food was delicious and plentiful. Kudos to the chef. Halong bay was breathtaking and an experience of a life time. Heaven cave was the most beautiful cave I’ve ever seen. Loved the boat trip to the private Lagoon and learning the history of the fishing people.
Fabulous private tour

5.00Robert was a wonderful and caring tour guide who had excellent English and shared a lot of knowledge with us about Halong Bay! The boat staff were also lovely and put on a beautiful and delicious seafood feast for lunch. We loved visiting the cave on this tour. I’d recommend bringing your own cold water and plenty of it as all drinks need to be purchased on the tour. Overall it was a great tour and nice to do it privately with just our family and at our own pace.
Halong Bay is one of the 7 wonders of the world
Marco C,Apr 13, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Mandatory tour in Hanoi. Our guide Hai (or Robert) was amazing. Breathtaking photos... no wonder it is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also one of the 7 new wonders of the world. I definitely recommend kayaking as the best option but if you have physical problems do not fail to go and take the typical boat ride with a villager.
Best tour in Hanoi

5.00Amazing tour UNESCO officially recognized the Ha Long Bay in Vietnam as a new World Natural Heritage site. Now we know why… We were lucky to have a guide (Hai or Robert) who was a fantastic guide, who helped us plan our short time well, avoid the heat and turn these days into a memory forever. Thank you Hai.
Fantastic life long memories

5.00The trip was planned perfectly by Robert from start to finish. I found the booking by email very easy and all questions were answered thoroughly. I was careful to pick a safe company as we were travelling with our young children and we could not be happier. Robert also recommended that we leave early to beat the rush on our one day Halong bay trip and it was a brilliant idea. We had the cave all to ourselves! We also beat the crowds at the other sites too. I should also mention that Robert swapped the day of the trip with no fuss when we had a family emergency.
Great experience
