#1 choice is the “Hercules Grand”! - There are many different boats and tour operators available. Don’t stress yourself with which one to choose. Just book the “ Hercules Grand”! I could not imagine any other boat out there that can compare to the “Hercules Grand”! This specific company does everything from start to finish. “MINH” our tour operator is with you the entire trip making sure your itinerary goes as it should. The quality of the service, food, and the destinations you will experience are top notch! THANK YOU!

Highly Recommended - We had an amazing experience on the Hercules Grand day trip! Everything was well-organized, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, giving us enough time to explore while still feeling relaxed. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Nam, who truly made the trip even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive to everyone in the group. His insights and enthusiasm added so much value to the experience, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun and hassle-free day trip!

Henry was an excellent... - Henry was an excellent guide. He gave good historical information while getting us to and from the various activities efficiently. Ha long bay was beautiful. The cave is a must see. The 430+ steps up to and down from the viewpoint on Ti Top Island were difficult, but doable. If you have dexterity issues you might want to just do the beach instead. Enjoyed the day.

Amazing tour to Ha Long Bay! - The day trip from Hanoi to the spectacular Ha Long Bay UNESCO-listed area was fantastic! Exceptional value combined with a wide variety of experiences mixing breathtaking scenery, great buffet lunch, incredibly fun sunset party on the rooftop of the boat, and of course all of the friendly people. The tour accommodated for people with different fitness levels, and transport provided was safe and particularly comfortable. Overall, a highly recommended tour if you are visiting Hanoi! Special thanks to Binh for sharing so much knowledge and entertainment 🎤🕺🏼 across the day!

Perfect day trip from Hanoi - So much fun and the perfect amount of time at every stop. The boat was very nice and clean and the buffet was pretty good! Johnie was awesome and very knowledgeable, providing so much historical and cultural insights. Have already recommended to other tourists we’ve met in Vietnam and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Busy Ha Long Bay Tour - My family and I had a good experience with the tour and cruise. The food was tasty and there was a good variety but the beverage selection was limited. There was a ~45 minute stop at a Pearl factory that we were not aware of beforehand. Each stop in Ha Long Bay is packed with tourists so be ready to line-up. Next time, we would prefer only one stop but at a more peaceful location.

Hectic at Ho Long Bay - Tour operator good and guide but it was just too busy and boats constantly colliding to get into tight spots

Sold fake pearls on a yacht - The whole impression of the trip was spoiled by the purchase of bracelets made of fake pearls on the yacht, claimed to be real, but turned out to be a fake. I also bought bracelets for gifts for the price of real pearls, and it turned out to be glass. After lunch, the staff quickly removed everything from the buffet and spread out the pearls, which were sold under the guise of natural. It's a shame it ruined everything, the fallout was unpleasant.
