Fantastic trip to Ha Long Bay with Tung was my highlight in Hanoi. Our guide Tung was very kind, great communicator and super fun! I 100% recommend the trip includes lunch, kayak, cave visits and hike and its very affordable. Highly recommend! Thanks Tung and the all crew for making the day amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

Trip was good, guide was ok not great

The place is beautiful and everything was as described except a stop at an oyster/pearl store, but there were lots of busses there. The bus itself was uncomfortable with very little leg room. The boat ride was amazing. There was lots of food on board. I wish the guidw would have pointed out more islands than just the kissing chickens. We learned more on our 20 min speedboat ride (extra cost) than we did from our guide. The kayak or bamboo boat were included. We did the bamboo boat as well and that was fun. Surprising Cave was beyond words. I was surprised though, when I went inside, that the guide did not come with us as there were many guides with their groups inside. The drive was safe and we appreciated the bathroom stops. All in all a good day!

Awesome tour with great views

Very great experience! You have to do that tour. The tour guide Luan was brilliant and really kind. We had a great lunch at the boat with fresh seafood. After travelling with the boat through Halong Bay, we had a Kayak tour, a stop at the Cave and the island. The views were beautiful. After all we had an incredible sunset on the boat when travelling back to the harbour. Thanks for that great tour!
