Four hour morning tour of Ha Long Bay - We only had a half day in Halong Bay but Cherry was able to make the most of it for us. We headed out into the bay for an early morning tour and we were able to stay a step ahead of the crowds which made our time at the two caves and on the bamboo boat that much more special. Thank you Cherry.

Good half day cruise through central area of Halong Bay - Good 4 hour cruise to see 2 caves + bamboo boat in the central area of Halong Bay on your private boat. Our guide Cherry/Chung was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch was extra at $10 USD per person, and was plentiful. Would recommend for a good use of half a day.

Great half day private boat tour of Halong Bay - We had a good 4 hour cruise with our guide Chung/Cherry. She was very friendly and professional and made the tour interesting. Having the boat all to my family of six was a very nice experience. Halong Bay was beautiful, and time we went there was very little crowd at the cave and bamboo boat.
Food on the boat tour was plentiful and delicious, thanks to the organisation of Windy.
Overall would recommend the tour to anyone who only has half a day, definitely would see some beautiful parts of Halong Bay with less crowd

Halong Bay worth it even in bad weather. - Despite the bad weather we enjoyed our tour. We had a huge boat just for ourselves and our guide Chung made it fun for us. Halong Bay is extraordinary - the caves are interesting and we thoroughly enjoyed the bamboo boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed... - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
Our guide Joe communicated clearly before we met up with him. He was on time and easy to find as we began the tour.
Joe and the seven of us were on our own large boat throughout, which felt quite luxurious. The trip to the caves was straightforward, and the tour through some of the islands after we visited the caves was very scenic. The boat's indoor and outdoor sections work very well for viewing and sitting.
The caves are magnificent. The scale and beauty are incredible, and the caves were easy to walk through, with some light climbing of stairs.
Joe was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He gave us interesting background information about Vietnam, Halong Bay, and the geological formations. He did an excellent job of balancing keeping an eye on us as we walked through the caves (including looking out for our safety), and giving us the flexibility to move at our own pace without feeling rushed. He shared interesting information throughout, without taking up too much time to do that. We all thought he found the sweet spot in every way. He was also very open to questions.
I highly recommend this tour.

Must Do - A private boat with a guide, what more could you ask for? We visited wonderful caves, did a fun bamboo boat ride and saw incredible scenery. Our guide David was fabulous telling us the history of Halong Bay. The boat crew had ice cold towels, tea and fruit waiting for us after each stop. Again, this a a boat to yourself - just your group. For us there were just two of us. There was a comfortable seating area below and a wonderful lounge area on the top deck. The bathrooms were clean. What more can I say? Why get on a boat with a bunch of strangers fighting for photos when you can get one all to yourself!!! They offer lunch for a very reasonable price also.
