Great guide, very fun experience for the whole family.
This was a beautiful experience and the guide is very friendly.
the tour guy was wonderful very experience he was very healfold and flight
We had an absolutely fantastic time on the bioluminescent kayaking and Monkey Island tour. Even though we didn’t spot any monkeys and the bioluminescence wasn’t at its brightest, the experience was still one of the highlights of our trip. The real reason this tour stands out is Ba. He is genuinely one of the kindest, most passionate guides we’ve met. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and his enthusiasm and warmth made the whole evening so enjoyable. To top it all off, we had dinner afterwards at his family restaurant, and it was incredible. Honestly, it was probably the best meal we’ve had since arriving here. The food was delicious, the hospitality was amazing, and the complimentary beer was a lovely touch. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again to Ba and his lovely family for such a memorable experience!
Our guide, Ba, was very kind. The tour was amazing. We enjoyed the beach on Monkey Island and a beautiful sunset. The kayaking experience, where we admired the bioluminescent plankton glowing on the water, was simply magical. Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Ba's family restaurant, cooked by his wife. It was one of the best meals we have had in Vietnam. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much again, Ba, for this incredible experience!
The tour was amazing. Our tourist guide Bah was super kind and friendly. We got to see a beautiful sunset and the incredible bioluminescent. After the tour, the food was delicious. Highly recommend the tour!
The group with about 20 people was all friendly. sadly, two of them arrived late from Hanoi so all of us had to wait and started about 50 minutes later. The "boutique boat" was a Speed boat, which has more adventurous than comfortable vibes (No toilet etc) The Sunset on monkey island was magnificent. We were dropped on a beach which nobody else around. Sadly we didnt see any monkeys but the Sunset was great. There was a path to a view point which was a bit sketchy so most of the group skipped it. The guide also waited at the beach. Afterwards we drove to the spot for the plankton. Kayaking at night, with a lot of darkness surrounding you was amazing, however, the plankton was truly magical and looked like blue fire within the water. The guide kept showing us the best locations for the plancton and we had a great time on the Kayak. The trip ended with food in the restaurant which was not bad, not great.
The tour was really nice! Ba was super enthusiastic and he explained us many interesting things about the area. We saw an incredible sunset in the Monkey’s island and then we saw the plankton with the kayak. The plankton was incredibly beautiful and shiny. I will never forget this experience. After the tour we had a really nice dinner in his restaurant. The food was really good. I strongly recommend this tour!!
