Traveler Reviews
The whole experience was amazing and Ken was a fantastic host.
Ken was super nice with us ! We did some great activities (kayak, cave and beach)
Tom did a great job today. He was so kid, funny, and very helpful! Thanks for your service sir!
Phong was a great guide, helped us with everything, great communication
An excellent tour provided by Phong! He met us at Tuan Chau, and then a large, tasty lunch was provided. We then saw Ti Top island with a walk to the top and a quick swim before moving on to kayak in Luan Cave. Everything was very well set up, he was friendly and superbly organised throughout the whole trip - very much recommend this trip.
the trip was nice, the only thing we not really like, was the information about the messing information about the minimum ahe for the Kajak trip. it starts with 10 or 12 years old but our daughter is 7. So we can't choose the trip. we was really dissapointed with thiy late information.
We had an amazing experience with our guide Alex during our Ha Long Bay cruise. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the whole trip. What really stood out was how patient and understanding he was with us, especially when he waited for us without ever making us feel rushed. Alex made the experience much more enjoyable and comfortable for us. He was always there to help, answer our questions, and make sure everything was going smoothly. You can really tell that he cares about the people he guides. We’re very grateful for his kindness and patience, and we highly recommend Alex
Very nice day with your guide Phong. Food was good and the boat was very clean and nice to sit. The activities were very nice and in total it was a good day.
