Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site's outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest.

Our trip included a stop where we took a ride on bamboo boats. Very tranquil with lovely views. A group of only 12 which alowed us to have plenty of room. Our guide was enthusiastic and provided us with interesting facts about Halong Bay.

Excellent tour around Halong Bay with Alex. He was a fantastic guide and great to tour with. I would highly recommend him.

Great scenery. Tour included walking inside of a cave, taking a small boat to go under rocks, scenic cruising between rocks. Only unfortunate part was that our tour guide was difficult to understand but he made efforts to provide useful information about Halong Bay and the rocks

The Viator sponsored tours have been a go-to tour company since we tried them for a previous holiday. This one did not disappoint. We were texted the day before by our guide Johnny who was everything all the other reviews said about him. He was prompt and spoke excellent English. The boat was big and had a crew that tended to our needs such as coffee and drinks. The washrooms were clean and full flush toilets. We did the 1/2 day tour which was just right amount of time given it was cloudy on our day. We visited an oyster farm, we did some kayaking in this lagoon while some jumped on a bamboo boat if they didn’t want the exercise or get wet. The last stop was the Dong Thien Cung Cave. It was an amazing cave and Johnny provided all the valuable information on all the various things in the cave.

A really enjoyable boat trip to Ha Long Bay visiting an oyster farm, kayaking through sea caves and a land walk through a cave which was excellent. As it was a half day cruise, no lunch which is what we expected. The guide Johnny, the boat crew were all absolutely brilliant! Highly recommend.
