My family booked this tour for our final stay in Hanoi, and it exceeded all expectations. From the tour guide and boat staff to the excursions and food, everything was excellent. Our tour guide reached out days in advance to ensure we were well-prepared for the trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a visit to Ha Long Bay!

Itinerary
07:45 – 8:30: Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter, ranging from 7:45– 8:30. We try to make the pick-ups as timely as possible but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and many hotels to collect from, this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite this process.
10:00 – 10:15: Quick stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack in case you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road and finish the drive. 11:30 – 11:45: The bus will arrive at Tuan Chau marina and reach our pier, where our welcoming staff will be waiting for your arrival with a big smile. A complimentary welcome drink will be served, and a quick briefing as we set off into the bay.
12:00– 13:00: Our award-winning chef will be serving up amazing delights for guests to indulge. Paired beautifully with lavish cocktails, fine wines, and beers. The bar will be open for the entirety of the service (Water is served throughout the journey, any other drinks not mentioned will incur a charge)
14:00 – 15:00: We will spend a 1-hour round trip paddling through a little grotto and into our private lagoon, surrounded by rock walls in all directions. It's a peaceful little corner of Halong Bay all to ourselves. The tour guide will tell the folklore of Halong Bay before paddling back to the boat.
15:15 - 15:45: Enjoy the trampoline, water slide , go for a swim, or just stay on the boat and relax in Lan Ha Bay. So, relax and take a few moments to reflect on the absolute beauty of this natural wonder of the world.
16:00: Learn the history of a traditional Vietnamese dish that is the most famous. From the fresh ingredients to the preparation method, and then have a try at making them yourselves. You’ll be able to make Vietnamese summer rolls in your own kitchen after this informative and fun course. Excite all your friends and family at home with your new skills! 16:30: Complimentary Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, and little cakes to keep you satisfied until you return to Hanoi. While the sunset starts to drop and the sky fills with deep red, purple, and yellow, enjoy the return sail back.
20.00 - 20.30: Thank you for giving The Halong Delight 2 the opportunity to bring you a once in a lifetime experience. Your tour guide will take you to the front door of your hotel in the Old Quarter.

The trip was wonderful! Everything, from the food and drinks to the overall quality, was top-notch and affordable. The staff were fantastic, especially our tour guide, who was incredibly helpful and polite. Highly recommend for a great experience and an enjoyable journey.
Our guide made our day trip truly outstanding. They provided just the right amount of information to keep things engaging without overwhelming us. We were picked up promptly for our Full-Day Private Tour in Halong, and water was provided throughout the journey. (Tip: consider bringing snacks if you missed breakfast like I did). Lunch was absolutely generous in portions. While the range of drinks on the boat was good, they could have been cooler. Options included soft drinks and wine. The itinerary included kayaking and a cave visit, with the cave's slippery conditions emphasizing the importance of appropriate footwear
The time spent in Halong Bay was truly exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour. From the delicious cuisine to the impeccable service and breathtaking views, everything surpassed expectations. We highly recommend this experience to everyone seeking a memorable journey in Halong Bay.
Our guide was absolutely amazing. his expertise in food and the Old Quarter was impressive, and he provided us with valuable insights into Hanoi and Vietnamese culture. The food he introduced us to was delicious, and his recommendations for the rest of our stay were invaluable.
