Perfect Day. - We had a wonderful experience with Ha during our trip to Ha Long Bay. He was communicative and enthusiastic. He definitely made our experience informative and enjoyable. We were picked up at bam from Hanoi and it took about 2 hours to get to the boat. (Which went pretty fast as he allowed us (me) to nap on the way. ;) The boat crew were amazing and the food they cooked was absolutely theeeee best food we've had in the 3 weeks we have been in Vietnam. We definitely recommend Ha and his business if you're looking for a relaxed tour of Ha Long.

Ha Long Bay Boat Cruise - We started our tour at 6am with curbside pickup from our hotel. Our tour guide, Johny, supplied us with waters and made sure our ride was smooth to Ha Long Bay for our boat tour. We made a stop halfway from Hanoi for snacks and bathroom. The boat ride was fantastic, with 360 degree views of the Bay. Johny was very informative and educated our group of the natural scenery. We toured two caves, went kayaking, and ate gourmet style Vietnamese food. Overall, the experience was 10/10, thanks to the patience, knowledge, and kindness of Johny. I would strongly recommend this tour and would encourage requesting Johny as your tour guide!

Best Ha Long Bay Tour. - Ha, our guide for Ha Long Bay as well as being the owner of the company, made sure we had the best day possible. Everything was perfect. From communication beforehand, to the super comfortable (2 hour) drive in a luxury SUV, to the boat itself and the day’s activities. It was topped off by the best meal (on the boat) that we’ve had in our 3 weeks in Vietnam. Ha & his team made our trip memorable for all the right reasons. This was my 2nd trip to Ha Long Bay (first since 2008), and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Ha for a 3rd.

Family trip to Halong Bay - This experience was great! Our tour guide, Hein, was excellent! He checked in with me the night before and allowed me make some adjustments for the tour that better accommodated our family. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the sites and made the experience much more fascinating.

Highly recommend this fun trip - We had such a wonderful day exploring Ha Long bay. This was the perfect trip for us as the private transfer from the hotel means you get there quicker and have a very comfortable drive thanks to Binh our driver for the day. Ha our guide was amazing, so knowledgeable about all things Vietnam and very kind and friendly. The kayaking is a must we had so much fun! It is a shame we didn’t have time to do another tour with them.

This was a nice slow... - This was a nice slow paced trip. Our guide Ha collected us from our hotel at the agreed time in the morning. The car was nice and comfortable and our driver Binh was good. We stopped at a pearl production facility on the way, where we were able to use the rest rooms and buy a coffee. You could obviously buy pearls too. The boat was quiet, only a few other people on board. We were given way too much food, but it was tasty. Drinks were reasonably priced and the crew were very nice. The bay is absolutely beautiful and clean despite what we’d been told by other travellers. It wasn’t too busy either. We stopped to kayak, which was so peaceful and relaxing. Then visited the cave, which Ha told us all about and pointed out various characters / animals in the rocks. Then a gentle trip back on the boat with some watermelon and tea. 100% recommended, especially if you don’t want to travel in a big group. Ha was a great guide, spoke very good English and was fun and engaging the whole time.

Private Ha long bay tour - Fun private tour of Ha Long Bay from Hanoi. Pick up and drop off at the hotel. Great guide and driver. Had a whole boat to ourselves with lunch. If you are short on time and don’t want to do an overnight cruise, this was the perfect tour.
