    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

    Lovely trip and a beautiful place to visit but I unfortunately got food poisoning from the meat on the boat, stick to the fish (if you like it but I annoyingly don’t so had the meat) or go veggie for the day. But it was overall a well organised day.

    Samson is a very knowledgeable tour guide! He speaks very good English also. It’s a nice drive up to Halong Bay and the bus is comfy enough to fall asleep on. The lunch is slightly light - so eat a big breaky if you get hungry. Bring snacks also for the bus.
