Top Hanoi Outdoor Activities - page 10

I cannot recommend this trip enough. It was amazing. You’ll see a lot of ai reviews on these tours but as someone that jumps right to the negative reviews i hope you take the time to read this one. Been on countless excursions for snorkeling and this one was memorable. Small group, 10 of us, picked us up from our hotel and great communication that they’d run a few minutes late and had tons of info to give us before hand on what to bring, wear, eat etc. Super organized and as 3 be try stupid teens travelling their instructions in full english were so clear and for how many vietnamese people i’ve tried to talk to in english these guys really have been practising. Not only that, but when we got on the bus they were making super funny jokes and were so friendly and just easy to be around instead of stressed and rushed. They were so polite with us young ladies and were helping us everywhere we go (were fairly clumsy as a group) We got to the boat they helped us on gave us life vests and such careful instructions their detail on the safety was so good. I’m a big animal and wildlife girl so the way they were so kind about protecting the reefs and making sure everyone knew how to swim properly to avoid damaging the reef and wildlife was amazing. They did a mini snorkel swim lesson before our first stop in a shallow beach which a lot of the travellers definitely needed. When we got to the reefs instead of being in huge groups where it’s a free for all they split us up into smaller groups and had a guide stay in the water nearby us and lead us to good areas. Quiet spots where there were no huge crowds in site like a lot of these other tours get badly rated on. Genuinely such a sweet group of guys running it and they seem like all such close friends it was really cute. As well the reefs they brought us to were secluded, gorgeous and sooo many fish. You can choose to wear a life vest or not but i recommend wearing so you don’t get tired of swimming. They also bring tons of water bottles for you to have as many as you want! When we got to the island to eat and rest at the end the fruit was super fresh and lots of drinks to choose from as well that they offer 1 free included. Thank you guys so much for a lovely trip we would 100% book again. If you’re looking for smaller group, still so much fun and lots of fish this is the one for you. Love from Leilani, Melisa and Charli ❤️❤️

Our trip was great! Our guide Johnny was very knowledgable and attentive for the 7 hour excursion. Easy to find him at the cruise ship port, and quick loading on to the boat. We had 18 passengers, and could have had room for at least 30, so lots of space, which was nice. Clean, available bathrooms. Soda, beer, water available for sale ($1-2 USD), and you do get 1 free with lunch. The itinerary was different than what was on Viator, but it all ended up being great. Went to an oyster & pearl farm, Sung Set Cave, then had lunch (so much food! A set menu, and it just kept coming. After lunch, we visited Luon Cave - we had options to take a bamboo boat (included), kayak (included) or speedboat (~$17 USD), and we had enough time to do 2 of the 3! Finally, we also stopped at Titov Isle - has a viewpoint with about 450 steps, which I didn't do, but we had enough time here to allow that. We stayed at the beach/shops area, which was pretty small. Swimming was allowed, but again, it was very small, so we didn't go in. Johnny was a great guide and the boat crew were wonderful! Great way to see the cool bay area.

Our tour guide Pam/Pang was friendly, informative and so kind. We really appreciated her taking so much time answer all our questions and guiding us through the terrain at our pace. Our home stay did not have a/c. Although there was a fan we could not endure the heat so we walked across the street and booked a hotel. We had a lovely visit and would recommend this tour.

A thoroughly enjoyable morning. Picked up at my hotel and taken on the back of a scooter to the office where I met the group and we got our bikes. We then cycled off out of the city and into the countryside stopping at various points. Guides were friendly and helpful and the staff blocked all the major junctions so we always felt very safe. Nice included pho ga lunch at the end! All in all would definitely recommend this trip!

Huge thanks to Team Tom for an unforgettable day! Our guide, Tom, was exceptional from start to finish—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. Everything ran like clockwork, allowing us to just relax and enjoy the sights. If you’re looking for a seamless and high-quality tour, I can’t recommend this one highly enough!

This is an amazing tour, a great way to see Hanoi. It shows all the best bits with wonderful local knowledge. We had Tu as our guide and I can’t recommend him enough, he was so knowledgeable, friendly, funny and made us feel welcome. Special mention also to the driver Mr V (ex military) who always found parking spots nearby and managed to negotiate the chaotic traffic in Hanoi City. If you only do one tour in Hanoi then do this one, as it was memorable, educational and fun to spend time with Tu

From the moment we were picked up in a luxury bus (with seats like business class plane) to getting on the boat, we were treated so well by our wonderful guide, Jake. The whole day was so well planned, with 3 fabulous stops on the cruise to explore beaches and caves. It was a busy day, with many crowds from multiple other cruise ships, but it did not impact on our day as we all really enjoyed ourselves. The food is quite nice, with a surprise sunset party on the roof while sailing home. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have a special day out in Ha Long bay.

The cruise was wonderful. The boat and crew ensured our every need was met. They fed us so well, we couldn't finish our plates most of the time...We really appreciated how they inquired and considered our dietary needs(wife and daughter are celiac). They kept us busy with activities like visiting Titop Island(too many tourists), a hike to a cave(also super busy), and an evening spring roll making which was great. The next day we went kayaking and checked out a pearl farm, which was pretty interesting. Overall, it was an active 2 day trip with plenty of time for relaxing. Thank you Cozy Tours!
