A new year day well spent!

The whole experience was just amazing and well organized. Jack, our guide on the boat, was very helpful and took very good care. He took us to beautiful location away from the crowds. The boat, room and facilities were clean and comfy. Did kayaking in open seas for the first time -- just too good. Kids enjoyed the squid fishing at night. The drone shots sent by Jack later were a pleasant surprise. Overall, could not expect more!

Beautiful day in Ha Long Bay

Totally worth it!

They took us to quiet and hidden places most of the time. When we were kayaking, we were the only people. The swimming, the bamboo boat ride to a cave and the fishing farm were good visits as well. Ben our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was keen to share information. He really took good care of us. Although i was wishing more time to ourselves to enjoy the beauty. Everything else was soo good! The vegan food spread was amazing.
