Great way to explore Halong Bay in one day. The guide was nice, friendly but not pushy. the drive is fine as they do stop for refreshments both way. the navigation is cool as you get to get close to the cliffs. all excursions are very nice. food was cool too.

The views in Ha Long Bay are breathtaking and we were lucky with the weather. Also we were only 12 ppl on the boat. The extra activities were cool, but there isn’t enough time to really enjoy them on the one day trip. The climbing to the viewpoint was too crowded and I should have stayed down on the beach. All in all it was a fantastic trip definitely worth it. One additional remark with regards to the organization. I wouldn’t pick up people in the old quarters, which is really annoying and takes forever. I would rather define 1 or maybe 2 pick up spots for everyone. Keep it up and thanks for the nice trip

The activities were nice, but a little rushed in each of the 3 spots we visited (could have done with more time at the kayaking/bamboo boat stop, and less at the cave). The lunch was okay. You can’t take water bottles on board, and there were no options during “happy hour” for people who don’t drink alcohol. But for the price, it was a good day out.
