Halong Bay tour - Halong Bay is a serene place with magnificent rock formations. The cave was big and beautiful, could have stayed for a couple mpre minutes. The staff were very accommodating and hospitable. My mon and I are allergic to shrimp, they have us a vegetarian meal. The tour guide, Dong, was very friendly and patient with us.

Day Trip in Halong Bay - Halong Bay is a must see tourist spot in Vietnam. We went on a cruise with lunch included. The lunch was great and the tour was worth it. The tour guide and driver are very approachable. He helped us in taking good photos.

One day cruise at Halong Bay - Vietnam - I went to Halong Bay on 22/6/25, guided by Mr. Milano, who is an English speaker. It is super easy to book tickets using Klook, even 1 day before. Hotel pickup is available if the hotel you staying at is located in Hanoi's Old Quarter. The tour guide will contact you for pickup at the hotel. If not, just call the office number found on Google to clarify. It took almost a 4-hour bus ride from Hanoi to Tuan Chau International Marina with rest stops in between. The bus is clean and comfortable. I feel grateful, as the weather was sunny and hot during the visit; it only started raining while on the bus ride back to Hanoi. Only managed to board the cruise around 1200H and had lunch at the ‘restaurant’ on the cruise. Vegetarian options are available; you just need to indicate that during Klook booking. The food served is a bit plain for me, but I am still able to enhance the flavor with the sauce provided. After the tour, we were served fresh watermelon and green tea. The green tea is not refillable. Nevertheless, you can enjoy the scenery while having meals. No plastic water bottles are allowed on the cruise to prevent littering (unless you bring a water tumbler). Due to the hot weather, I had to spend 30k to buy a beverage on the cruise to quench my thirst. Nevertheless, the tour went well. The tour guide pointed out those famous rocks, like the Fighting Cock Islet and Incense Burner, along the way. The tour guide also gave clear instructions regarding the tour, what to expect, and what to avoid. Have great sightseeing in Thien Chung Cave. My favorite part is being on a bamboo boat, as I am able to enjoy the scenery up close. You can opt to kayak if you are adventurous. We ended the sightseeing around 1600H, and a bus awaited to fetch passengers back to Hanoi.

Great Experience - This was a great way to see Ha Long Bay if you’re in Hanoi. The coach trip is comfortable and has a rest stop. Then you’ll be taken onto the boat trip and will sail around the islands. The food served is authentically Vietnamese and great. You can choose to go kayaking or be taken on a bamboo boat around some water caves, then go on a tour round some dry caves. Everything is very easy - there are steps in the dry caves but nothing challenging overall. I would definitely recommend for solo travellers and groups alike.
