This time I am traveling with my parents, so it is best to join a day tour! The whole process was carefully arranged, and the tour guide Kim was really helpful and good at stimulating the atmosphere.

it was nice I enjoyed my whole trip. 3 hrs to halong bay city, on bus with 40 people. get to the boat, eat lunch. next there’s kayaking . very nice and beautiful. explore inside cave, up a mountain with wonderful view of ha long bay. you can choose to swim if you want. then there’s sunset party (it’s just drinks and fruits) not a party no music. 3 hrs back. you reach home by 9pm. this wasn’t a cruise cruise, there’s no bed or locker or rooms. you are on a boat, seats only as you see in the second pic. you can go on top deck for the view if you want.

This activity is very discounted. It is cheaper than buying it locally in Hanoi. It is better to buy a package of several activities. The activity is completed and returned to the ancient city earlier than originally planned.

The Halong Bay day tour was worth every penny! Ms dolphin, our tour operator reached us in advance and kept us informed about pickup timings and tour itinerary. The stunning limestone cliffs, emerald waters, and well-organized cruise made it an unforgettable experience. Stopping at the pearl-making facility was fascinating, offering insight into the craftsmanship. Exploring caves, kayaking, and enjoying a delicious seafood lunch were all highlights. Ken, our guide, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Highly recommended!
