    This was exceptional. We were lucky to have stunning weather and the whole day was perfect. From our tour guide to the boat crew, to the food - to kayaking, the caves, the beach, flying fish and astonishing scenery. We cannot recommend this highly enough. A core memory was formed and will certainly be a highlight of not only our trip, but travelling to date. 10/10

    To know the pick-up time you need to contact the number in the booking details. After that, the transfer works without problems. The guide ("Tiger") explains everything and was incredibly nice and tried to make everything right for everyone. The food is so-so but rock solid. The 3 activities are well chosen. In general it was a great trip with nice people and stunning scenery 10/10

    There is a solid 2 or 3 hours bus ride to Ha Long Bay in which you can relax and recover some sleep. After you get on the boat all the views are amazing. The cave is very interesting and its funny that all rock formations have been named by what the locals compare it with (turtle, dragon etc) .The guide kept everything in order and timed the schedule perfectly. This is a must when visiting Ha Noi
