From beginning to end this was a great experience. Yes you could probably find cheaper but if your wanting the whole package while enjoying the peace and beauty of the bay this is the one! Luxury small mini bus transport from your hotel in the old quarter of Hanoi, welcoming staff on arrival to the port which continues throughout the trip. Luxurious cabin with a balcony to enjoy the sights in private with a bottle of wine or the large deck area with seating or sun deck to lounge! Drinks are a little pricy however so might be worth bringing your own bottle or two. Otherwise can’t think of any negatives!

A wonderful trip and an absolute must when visiting Vietnam. The rooms in the boat were spacious and luxurious compared to hostels! Friendly and helpful staff and plenty of food. Great activities aided in the enjoyment and appreciation of the beautiful landscapes. Highly highly recommend this trip, this is the best thing we have done in a long time!

Great tour. Our guide Thang was very knowledgeable and friendly, kayaking was fun and safe, the food on board the ship was really good and the climb on monkey island was challenging but exciting. All in all a great experience in an area of the bay with few other tourists and amazing views of the islands. Highly recommended.

Safe comfortable transport but too much waiting at the dock to be transferred to the boat. Sadly the transfer was in a enclosed boat with high windows and you couldn’t see the beautiful views. This was the same on the return journey and it was about a 30 minute journey. Some boats cruised much closer to the dock.

It was a very complete day, visited both Ha Long and Lan Ha bays, fish farm and floating village, went kayaking, had an amazing lunch and then hiking in beautiful Monkey island. It's really worth ot, the tour is magnificent
