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!

Great cruise that avoids all the bustle of Halong Bay

It was a really nice cruise to do, the boat comes to the quieter places and tries to avoid the crowds as much as possible. The kayaking and swimming in the quieter places are also very nice to do, our guide Ninh arranged everything well and spoke good English. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
