Hang is the best tour guide, we had so much fun. He's very informative and funny. Really enjoyed the day trip out. Food was very good as well.
Amazing trip with Hang as our guide! Bonus magic tricks as well
Nice experience, Jack was a great guide.
The day trip was optimal. All stops were top. Both swimming stops, which were relatively remote with hardly any other groups nearby, as well as the short fishing village stop, were top-notch. The kayaking tour was particularly good, and even there we were relatively far away from all other groups and had it to ourselves. The lunch was also remarkably good. And our guide Hàng was also fantastic, very friendly, enthusiastic, and spoke English very well, making him a superb guide. All in all, absolutely recommendable and probably one of the best tours in Ha Lan/Ha Long Bay.
I love this tour very much. It’s a great day with wonderful landscapes and a great guide. I love the food a lot and really enjoy it.
Did the 1 day Lan Ha bay cruise with Hang as our guide. The whole day was great, Hang was very knowledgeable and told us about the history and geography of the area. Lunch was great. I showed them my gluten free translation card, and the boat crew were able to tell me what I could eat (almost all of it). Hang even managed to spot some Langur monkeys on our way back to the port, which was great to see. Would reccomend cat ba venture and Hang!
We had a really great time with hang as our guide! It is a really great experience to visit the ha long bay and have fun. The day was complete with a little bit of magic from our guide.( you’ll understand when you see it)
The tour is highly recommended with tour guide Hang. You avoid the crowds and get to places where there are no other tourists. You'll be in the most beautiful places you wouldn't otherwise be. Hang speaks good English and brings atmosphere to the group. Lunch was very extensive. It was a great experience!
Thank you Hang!! An amazing day tour, and Hang was a great guide sharing insightful information about the area, guiding us through the caves, and chatting to us throughout the day.
Great experience, captain of the boat, and our guide Hang, perfect management and organization
