Hanoi Opera House නෞකා ගමන්

Wonderful day trip. It was a long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. We had a great guide, and the transportation was well-organized and comfortable. The boat was excellent, with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also a lot of fun. It was nice that it was small-scale and not overly touristy.

Since my hotel didn't offer pickup, I decided to go to the Hanoi Opera House. It wasn't far from the hotel, so that was fine. The pickup vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. The bus wasn't a luxury one, but it was acceptable. Before reaching Ha Long Bay, we first stopped at a shop selling goods. There was no pressure to buy anything. I just bought a drink. The boat we boarded wasn't large, but it was quite impressive. The boat departed around 10:30 AM. A buffet lunch was served on board starting at 11:00 AM. The meal wasn't bad. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful marine park, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the boat. Many tour boats dotted the sea, which was also a spectacular sight. There's a basic option to visit a short sea cave by rowing boat, and also time to enjoy kayaking. Taking a speedboat is an optional extra for an additional fee. On the way back, there was a cooking class on board, but only locals participated. Overall, if you're not focused on enjoying the scenery, it could be a bit boring. However, it was a wonderful opportunity to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay. The sea was calm, so there was no seasickness. On the bus ride back to Hanoi, we stopped at another shop selling goods. Again, there was no pressure to buy. The shops were selling items that could also be bought in Hanoi, but at higher prices. These shops need to change. They should offer products that can entice tourists to open their wallets, at prices that are appropriate. That way, sales would likely increase. I bought another drink this time too. Our guide never pressured us. The guide was friendly and dedicated to their job. The price of a Ha Long Bay tour seems to vary depending on the luxury level of the transportation and the boat. The tour I experienced today felt like a mid-range option. However, I was satisfied with the tour because of the guide's kindness. I'd like to thank Allen, our guide, who was with us all day!^^

This was a lovely but way to long. The day starts of very early however pick up was in a timely fashion. Long the tour guide was amazing the entire day. In my personal opinion the stops prior to getting to the boat were way too long. The lunch on the boat was cold

A great day out, pickup was on time, a very good driver and super comfortable seats. The boat was of high quality and a great dining experience. To be able to sit on the window with great views of Ha Long Bay is not something we will forget. The staff were amazing and always made sure people were looked after. What a great day out and would recommend.

The tour guide speaks english fluently and is very knowledgeable with his work. My family highly recommends Bobby.

doris is under maintenance and my family was assigned to erina 5 star cruise. I love the experience and the barter was very attentive and I love the view and bamboo boat ride to see dark and bright cave.

Ha long bay is very nice, staying overnight at boat is a bit boring, not much activity after dinner. Transportation from halong bay to Cat Ba island and back to Hanoi is quite well organised and smooth. The cat ba island trip is not bad, we got a private tour to the cave and national Park. Mr Kia are knowledgeable and his driver are very friendly and approachable.
