Good trip in Vietnam - Just got back from Ha Long Bay last week, and wow! It was AMAZING! I did a day trip, and everything has been fantastic. The views have been beautiful, the food has been delicious, and our tour guide, Phong, has been great. This trip has been so GOOD that I wanted to tell everyone about it. If you only have a short time in Vietnam, a day trip is a good way to see the bay. This boat trip wasn't crowded at all, there were only about 25 people on the boat. Everything was included in the price, so there haven't been any extra money to pay for the activities. We spent six hours on the boat going around Ha Long Bay and stopped to do different things. We climbed up to a viewpoint to see amazing views all around. The guide told us everything we needed to know before each activity. He even made sure they haven't forgotten yummy vegan food for me at lunch! I highly recommend you this tour! 🌟

Very nice trip for Halong Bay with hike, Kajak and cave - It was a really nice trip with Phong. The pick up was on time and on the way to Halong Bay Phong gave us a lot of informations about Vietnam. And not to forget: He made good jokes. ;) Halong bay was beautiful. The boat was in very good conditions and as we could see one of the most cleanest boats. The food was very good as well even for vegetarian and vegans. And lots of food. For desert we got some fruits. The drinks and especially the cocktails- nice. :) The Kajak and the cave were nice and the hike as well. For everything enough time. :) And we even saw little monkeys. Overall we can really recommend the tour. :)

Great tour for anyone! - This tour was great as it allowed you to see the beauty of ha long bay! We were able to enjoy food on a boat, enjoyed great scenery, and climbed the surprising cave! However, Phong, our tour guide, made it special with great explanation on everything we saw. He made sure we felt cared for and went out of his way to accommodate. I highly recommend this tour!
