Really fun time with a great guide!
Really cheap for all the activities we did ! The perfect cruise in one day
Everything was wonderful,from the crew to all the activities. I highly recommend it,keep up the great work,you're doing an amazing job. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We had such an amazing day cruise in Ha Long Bay! One of the best parts was that we were almost completely alone at most of the stops, which made the whole experience feel really peaceful and special. ✨ The crew was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we also learned a lot about the area during the cruise. Kayaking was definitely one of the highlights and such a beautiful way to explore the bay. Overall, it was a really well-organized and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Ha Long Bay! 🛶🤍
We had such a fantastic experience on this guided tour! It was a great combination of kayaking, swimming, sightseeing and visiting a local fishermen’s village, so there was always something interesting to do. We had the chance to jump and swim in beautiful Ha Long Bay, which was definitely one of the highlights. We then continued to the national park, where we enjoyed a bike excursion and even experienced a fun fish massage! 🐟🚲 Our guide was excellent — very friendly, knowledgeable and with really good, well-spoken English, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Food was provided as part of the tour, and we were also given bottled water for free. Other drinks were available to purchase at very reasonable prices. Overall, it was a really well-organised and enjoyable tour with a great variety of activities. We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it. 100% worth it! 🌿🛶🌊✨
This tour literally could not have been any better! Firstly, the actual landscape is incredibly beautiful and 100% worth seeing during your time in this area. We cruised through Lan Ha and Ha Long bay throughout the day and it is stunning. The pacing of the tour felt so relaxed and we had loads of time for each activity. Our personal favourites were the swimming and kayaking which made you feel even closer to the scenery. Absolutely massive shoutout to Kai, our guide, who was so knowledgeable, kind and personable. He made sure we understood the activities and the history / culture surrounding the area. The crew on the boat were also so kind and attentive. The actual boat itself was lovely and big with very good facilities; including toilets, showers, loads of seating and a small bar for coffee, drinks and snacks. They clearly put a lot of effort into the food as well which had a great mix of seafood and veg options. Overall, this tour was amazing and such great value!
Everything worked just fine, the instructor Kai was exceptional, explained everything and it was just perfect !!
The guide was very good during this trip. He was friendly, informative and we saw a lot of sights!
Kai is a great guide. He has a lot of general knowledge and he is really good at expressing and communicating.
We had such a great time doing this tour!! Everything was so easy for us as a big group. We were collected from our hotel and met our tour guide Kai, who was great. All the activities we did were so much fun and our lunch was delicious. It was such good value for money, I would definitely recommend this tour someone who wants a quieter tour that goes through less explored areas!!
I did this tour yesterday with my family and it was amazing. All the activities where fun and our tour guide Kai was excellent always giving us stories or general information. The tour lastet approximately 8 hours and it was fun from beginning to the end. Overall I would definitely recommend it for anybody who wants to explore the place and have a fun day and for the price that it is it’s worth every penny.
We went on this tour yesterday and everything worked out great. We had a fantastic time. The guide was faboluous (he was really nice and he explained everything very well) and the rest of the crew too. The food was good and very abundant. The tour followed the schedulle and the stops and activities were well organized, interesting and fun. The tour tries to avoid crowded places and it’s nice to be in a smaller boat with less people (we were 17 passengers). The Lan Ha Bay is stunning! Highly recommended
Doing this tour was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Pickup was easy, the boat was comfortable and it felt like we were taken away from a lot of the other tourist places. Getting to see fish farms, kayak in lagoons, swim, have a delicious lunch and cycle through the countryside felt like I was in a dream. We also had a great group and made some friends on the boat who I will now travel with after. I cannot recommend this one enough. Cai was also an amazing guide and was very helpful. Full stars for these guys, incredible.
Amazing day in the bay, everything was paced really well and the activities were great. Kai is a great guide, was very dedicated to making the day perfect and gave many interesting explanations about the bay and the local people along the way. The food was really good and there were many vegan/vegetarian options which was great for us. Excellent value for money, I would definitely recommend. ❤️
Hoom was the great guide and really awesome human being. We went through the untouched part of cat ba. It was like our own swimming pool. Awesome vibe with delicious food.
One of the best experiences of my trip and of my life!! The tour and the different activities (also the lunch on the boat) are amazing, like the guys who organize. Book this tour whit Halong Dolphin, you won’t regret it
We had a really good time! Amazing landscape, very friendly staff and lots of nice activities like kayaking, swimming and biking! We loved it and can definitely recommend it.
The experience was so nice thank you guys
We traveled with my husband and our 8-year-old son, and everything went wonderfully. The tour was very well organized, rich in experiences, and moderately active. Our guide, Hung, was highly professional, attentive, and responsible — he truly cared about all the guests and ensured everyone’s safety. The lunch was delicious, the boat was clean, and the scenery and nature were absolutely stunning. We are very happy that we chose this company.
It was amazing, no tourist at all, and Harry our guide was soo nice and deeply invested during the day, thank you very to him !!
Great tour, we had a lovely day. It was perfectly on time. Definitely worth of doing it. I would recommend
All activities and weather were great! The tour is super complete, entertaining and rewarding. The great food and guide is a crack! I highly recommend it for all audiences. 👏👏👌
Had the best experience with Kay amazing who was actually fantastic as his staff on the boat. Amazing food, activities and tour!
The trip covers everything you need for 1-day at Cat Ba. It was perfectly organized. We were picked up from the hotel and after the trip taken by bus to Hanoi. Everything on time. Tour guide was very nice, funny and gave a lot of interesting hints about the local culture and history. Last but not least thank you to Rose who helped us to book all of this!
Fantastic day with our guide Kai. Such a pleasure to spend the day with him. Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about cat Ba and surrounding areas. Nice not to be in the crowded central part of ha long bay. Good amount of activities and down time to relax. Lunch was very tasty! Good pick and drop offs at hotel.
We had a really good experience with that tour! You get so many different activities for a very good price! We were a small group, so there was a lot of space on the boat. Even though there were many activities, we still had enough time to just relax on the boat and enjoy the view. Vegan food was possible for lunch.
Very organised trip, we had plenty of time for each activity so it didn’t feel rushed. Lunch was delicious, with a big variety of local food. The guide was great at explaining everything.
An amazing day out. Our guide Tony who was very informative and efficient. The tour was very scenic, full of adventure and our lunch was delicious. They gave us a good understanding of Vietnamese culture and also the farm fishing industry where we say the floating village. We would highly recommend this tour.
We had a great experience. Pick up was arranged very well and on time, and the boat exceeded our expectations. Activities were nice and balanced with enough chill time. Lunch was super delicious as well.
It was a very nicely filled day at a really good price. There was a variety of activities and the food was so good. I took a lot of videos.
A great trip, the guide was excellently prepared and gave very interesting stories. The views were breathtaking, and the bike ride was a great idea.
Tony was a great guide , and trip was well organised, with stunning views and fun activities- fish massage , bike riding , and instead of kayaking we went on a small bamboo row boat - and were rowed into cave area ( good alternative). We also enjoyed a delicious lunch with plenty of food and decent choice. The only thing missing was the sun ☀️.
I had a one-day trip with this company. Tony was a fantastic guide; he was very professional and funny. The food was delicious, and the price was quite reasonable for such a great one-day trip. It was great value for money.
What an experience!! From start to finish we were treated like royalty. A pick up from our Homestay and straight to the luxurious boat. Tony our host was super attentive and funny and kept us entertained the whole time. It was a nice balance of information, activity and with chilled time for ourselves. The lunch supplied was nice and highlights included jumping off the boat in the bay and the lovely cycle through the small village (with free happy water, an added bonus) and we saw the rare langurs!! In my opinion this experience is a steal, just book it and thank me later!!!
Booked through get your guide, the trip was great until the visit to Viet Hai Village where several members of our group saw the truly horrific seen of a dog being hung to death from a tree in the garden of a house in the middle of this village. Never will I use any company that has an association to this village. I appreciate the company has nothing to do with the incident itself, but at the same time they need to either ensure it never happens again or stop bringing tourists to it.
Absolutely fantastic! Amazing tour that ticks all the boxes, relaxing, exciting, educational, excellent food, unique experience and then there’s the guide, Tony. He’s so fun and has such a great energy and enthusiasm. From beginning to end, you will have the best experience - highly recommend!!
I had an amazing time doing this activity! The crew was so nice, the food delicious and the atmosphere amazing. I loved the views and activities and would highly recommend. Jackie was amazing and assisted me with booking the trip and also transportation from and to Hanoi!
We thought the excursion was great. It was a rainy day, but the crew provided us with rain ponchos free of charge and spread a good mood. The activities were super,
Super good trip full of variety.
It was one of the best days of my whole trip to Vietnam! A complete tour, which for the price it costs includes absolutely everything! The Food was good, excursions were complete, views wonderful, and a RESPECTFUL tour!! Cai was our guide and he was a 10 year old! Don't miss this opportunity
A beautiful day in Lan Ha Bay, a day punctuated by activities, but leaving plenty of time to enjoy everything around us. A guide, Kai, exceptional, and the boat staf with little care for us. Traditional Vietnamese meal very good, and in quantity. We were a group of 24, the boat is big, we didn't walk on it. I recommend closed eyes
Great day! The activities are well started, the meal is great and the staff adorable. I recommend with my eyes closed 👌
The day was perfect, the guide was interesting, the lunch excellent, I recommend
We loved the activity. The visit was great and the meal delicious, maybe even a little too hearty. We particularly enjoyed the bike ride and swimming, especially as there were not too many people. I hope this place will be preserved from mass tourism. The guide was very friendly and exciting.
Great day on board the boat with Tony, we ate well and were able to enjoy despite the weather a little capricious.
It was a wonderful experience, with breathtaking views and a lot of care from the organizers! Excellent service!
The tour with Tony was great! He explained a lot, but you also had enough time to relax and let the landscape take effect. I found the lunch especially delicious! Hats off to the cook. At noon there was the opportunity to go swimming. A highlight in my opinion was the bike ride to the fishing village. Around a successful day and I can only recommend it to anyone who is not necessarily looking for the big party, but wants to enjoy nature!
Recommended. Great typical cruise. Guide very well. Great meal very hearty and friendly at lunch. very good the and cake offered to leter. We enjoyed the bike ride, the floating fishing village, swimming, boat tour. Pick up and drop off hotel. Very good price. Thank you.
Everything was perfect on this day: the organization (transfer + visits), the meal, the guide then the places we saw. Price quality level, it's top!
