An unbelievable cave experience - It's a wonderful way to spend the morning in Halong Bay. A nice cruise and then exploring a beautiful cave of stalagmites and stalagtites. Such interesting shapes every way you turn. We had the BEST tour guide with David. Two of us older couples and four other women traveling together. We were well taken care of - especially when climbing uphill into the cave. A lovely row boat ride around the bay. And then an enjoyable cruise back to the port. Highly recommend this tour- especially with David.

A great day on Halong Bay - What a great day in magical Halong Bay! Our tour guide Johnny was very attentive, knowledgeable & fun to be with. He & the crew made sure we were safe, comfortable & well feed! The pearl farm was informative, while the Sung Sat cave system was definitely worth the climb up the stairs for the views both inside & outside! The bamboo boat was absolute chaos, but our boatman made the best of it & took the time to take pictures of us in the lagoon. Be prepared for lots of other boats/people along the way. We really enjoyed our time with Mr. Johnny & the crew.

David was an excellent... - David was an excellent tour guide. He was very proactive and detailed in thinking ahead to accommodate our family of 8 including my elderly mom with mobility issues. He was also very knowledgeable and personable, which made our tour much more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful half... - We had a wonderful half day cruise with time to spare to return to our cruise ship for an early afternoon departure. Our tour guide Johnny was excellent. He provided lots of information at all the points of interest on the cruise and went out of his way to help us take the best pictures. Even though it was only a half day cruise, we never felt rushed or that our Halong Bay experience was lacking.

Ha Long Bay Cruise with Thien Cung Caves - Halong Bay Cruise was excellent. Our guide Tommy was very knowledgeable with good spoken English. Our bamboo boat lady was very cute and funny and took lots of photos for us. The Thiên Cung cave was beautiful and well worth seeing. While there are some stairs, they will be easily managed by the majority of visitors. Highly recommend this trip

Halong Bay cruise - This is a beautiful experience I highly recommend to any visitor in Halong Bay. To be upclose to the rocks, checking out limestone caves, riding on a sampan or kayaking on a UNESCO heritage site is a wonderful feeling. It deserves a five star. I gave it a 4 star only because of miscommunication with the tour operator.
