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.

Fantastic trip, shame it was a bit cloudy. Our tour guide David was great. The buffet lunch was lovely and lots of choice. All in all a great day, and good value for money, well worth it!

Lovely trip and glad it was in the low season as lots of boats around. Started badly as guide walked off and left everyone in the terminal building for some time so we boarded late. Staff on the boat were great and boat itself lovely. Wasn't a 'cruise' as advertised as the boat moored up in one place and then we were all tendered to each different location on a small uncomfortable boat. Despite earlier problems the guide was very helpful, polite and informative on the trip. Would have like a bit more time in the last location as it turned out to be a quick frog match to the top of the hill for photos and back to the boat or 30 minutes 'relaxing' on the beach.

Great guide, lovely boat (much more luxurious than expected), good choice of food for lunch and fun activities throughout the day.

A highly recommended experience at Ha Long Bay! Our guide Sonny was waiting at the cruise terminal on our arrival and had been in contact by WhatsApp the evening before. A nice size group of around 20 with a great amount of space onboard. Lunch was prepared onboard the vessel and was amazing. The trip included the Caves, Ti Top Island, Kayaking (we chose to pay extra for the speed boat experience, which was value for money). The greatest surprise was the Peal Farm… a very unexpected and informative stop! Sonny looked after us with the crew onboard, making the trip both value for money and a memorable trip!
