This was our first time in Halong Bay. We didn't know what to expect yet this was a great experience to get to know the rich history of Halong Bay and the places we visited. Our favorite spot was the Ti Top peak, which gave a 360 view of the peaks meeting the water and the horizon. Hieu was very accommodating to our needs, including meeting us at our hotel, which was slightly outside of the Old Quarters. He was early and very friendly with our party. He was also very patient with the people in our group as we had some individuals that were a little complex. Thank you for the great experience and an awesome adventure!

There was a issue with booking on getyourguide but i had communication with them and it was just said that I should book with Viator and it was all fine. On the arrival, pick up was an hour late! But once on the bus it was ok, it was clean and comfortable. The drive itself was insane. I had zummm-zummm, was amazing! Views are incredible and it is definitely worth doing. However, the tour does meantion a small group. And we travelled in 2 sets of a small group and it didn’t feel the same but it didnt take away from the incredible views was a match but was a shame.

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 ❤️❤️
