Published on Feb, 2025
Tour Guide Angela picked us up promptly at the port and put us directly on our beautiful boat. We sailed out to visit 2 extraordinary caves which she showed us with great care. Then we sailed around some fascinating rock formations that she pointed out. We then transferred to a small bamboo boat, rowed by a wonderful friendly gentleman who took us into caves and sang to us. On the sail back to the port, we enjoyed a magnificent lunch. All the ship’s staff were extremely kind and helpful. Perfect morning.

Ha was a great travel guide with a lot of knowledge. It was definitely worth taking a day out of our trip to visit Ha Long Bay and would recommend it for those visiting Vietnam.
Amazing experience !

The trip from beginning to end was very relaxing and effortless. We were picked up from our lobby hotel and driven to the harbor at Halong Bay. Ha, our tour guide, speaks English well and explained the history behind halong bay and showed us everything we wanted to see. We had an amazing time here and couldn’t recommend it more.
