What our travelers say about us
EXCELLENTBased on 695 reviewsVerifiedCaitlyn2024-08-02Amazing in every way My favourite thing we have done in Vietnam so far! Our guide was so lovely, fun, knowledgeable and took the best care of us. The plankton was incredible was able to see it after a short amount of time kayaking. Would 100% recommend everything about this. And bring your bathers to swim!VerifiedAlex T2024-08-02Simply the best Our group of 10- 2 families and a couple loved every part of this tour. Having done the day tour in the Bay, this experience added even more to our special time getting to know the Cat B side of Ha long bay. Our guide Luffy was simply the best. From his to the minute precision on the itinerary, to the freedom we felt on the tour. His knowledge and stories left us wanting to spend more time getting to know the bay, the research that happens there and the people that work and live there. The boat, the food, the destinations left us all with the most special of memories from our time in Vietnam. The bar was set so high early on in our trip for day trips we were worried for the rest of Vietnam. Vietnam has continued to no doubt impress us all but this tour remains well at the top.VerifiedAlex2024-08-01Got to love plankton! Great activity! Alone by boat on the sea. Great local food. Just enjoy on the banana boat, swimming and jumping from the boat and a super kayak trip in the dark where you see the luminous plankton. Highly recommended!VerifiedBarthélemy J2024-07-27Very nice views I hiked with Mario, the guide. I've been traveling alone for 2 months, and I think it's been the best day of my entire trip. Mario is very nice, super smiling. We had a good laugh. Hiking is quite difficult, but doable. Quite slippery with moisture and mud. The views are beautiful. We stayed 30 minutes at the top so beautiful. I highly recommend.VerifiedDERYCKERE C2024-07-26Very nice experience with local Cat ba We spent the day with Luffy. It is exceptionally kind availability and knows many things. We feel he really wants to please his customers. He seeks to share his values beyond experience. Very much above the usual tourist service. We recommend A quiet day with kayak stops to swim in the bay jump from the boat and discover the "fish farm"Verifiedhel2024-07-23fantastic very unique tour and one I would definitely recommend. The guide, Luffy, was interesting and very knowledgeable. and the night time views of the bay were amazing so glad I booked this!VerifiedCeleste M2024-07-21The best way to see the karst, the islands, and the local life Amazing way to see the island, and to see the beautiful Karst geology that makes people want to see Halong Bay. This is a great way to see the geography and learn about the area while avoiding the crowds. Ryan was an amazing tour guide, who is truly a local, and very passionate about the area and local life.VerifiedTom D2024-07-21Best tour! Honestly such an amazing experience! The tour guides were incredible and we spent so long talking to them. They shared insights into Vietnam life and how we as tourist can help the locals even just by waving and smiling! The whole evening/night was perfect definitely recommend!VerifiedPaul P2024-07-15Went in with no expectation, was amazed! Went July 15th, group of 15-20. We were looking for a 1 day tour visit of the bay area without it being too crowded. This wonderful experience starts in afternoon. There was barely any boats where we were in the bay. Ryan the local guide had an amazing contagious energy, rain or sunshine, and could've easily been the highlight of the experience just by how awesome he was. The dinner was great. Never felt rushed in all the activities, and felt like the amount of sightseeing and activities in the bay was enough for our liking. Materials such as light and waterproof bag were provided. We didn't really expect to see anything going in the activity, but with Ryan's tips and tricks, the bioluminescent plankton were visible (you can definitely see the sparkles and glowing, of course not oversaturated like on google pics). All in all, we really loved our experience, and found it extremely good value if you are looking to see the bay efficiently and a little twist of sparkled night kayaking/swimming.VerifiedMark S2024-07-15Perfect day Perfect weather, great informative guide, away from other boats, good fun kayaking and swimming. The skipper showed me how he catches fish. Feeding the fish and more….
