Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site’s outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest.

Great Boat trip to and from Islands. - Sonny our Guide met us on the Cruise Ship Pier and escorted us to the boat which took us to the Thien Cung Cave complex and surrounding islands.
This was spectacular and a photographers paradise.
The caves are amazing for their wonderful stalactite formations.
We then had a bamboo boat ride which took us around the lagoon and small rock formations.
The female boat rowers are a little bit aggressive in their request for tips at the halfway mark, showing a strong desire for US dollars.
This aside, it was an excellent experience.
The return boat ride was lovely with a great crew and commentary.
This is unmissable if you are in this unspoilt and spectacular area.

Halong bay - Great way to see Halong bay. Did the speed boat and saw the way they make pearls and visited a cave. All was great. Food on the boat was good too.

If you arrive by cruise... - If you arrive by cruise ship, the excursion starts within a short walking distance from the ship. The sights are amazing. The description states you will see Incense Burner islet featured on their currency. The guide said I missed it because you had to go on a speed boat that cost $12 extra and I didn’t opt for that add on

A Wonderful Day on Halong Bay - Such a fun day on a junk boat! Our tour guide, Sonny, contacted us the day before our tour with instructions, met us promptly at the pier and was very knowledgeable about Halong Bay. We learned so much visiting the oyster farm, Sun Sot cave was beautiful, we kayaked in the lagoon, and visited Tip Top Beach which was lovely. A large lunch was served on the boat that the seafood lovers enjoyed (luckily we brought our own sandwiches). We throughly enjoyed our day on the water with Sonny.

The itinerary was great,... - The itinerary was great, we saw a lot of different places. The natural beauty of Ha Long Bay is stunning. Accessibility is difficult for anyone that is physically challenged with knee issues. Getting off and on the boat at most stops requires using a rickety ladder with huge steps. Our guide Monica was extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand.

A little manic - Enjoyable day with Monica, but found the whole experience a bit disappointing due to the amount of over tourism.

Good value, but very busy with other tourists in some locations like the Ti Top Pegoda - Very interesting full day tour of Halong Bay, the caves, pearl farm, bamboo boat tour and Ti Top pegado
Overall good value, but it is amazing how many other tours there are at the same time, all trying to get to the same locations

Good, not spectacular - February - Day was hazy, so views weren’t as spectacular. Tour guide did good job; very friendly. Lunch was ‘OK’. Overall, happy, though could have left out the on-board marketing of jewelry, wood, cloth, etc
