Wonderful trip
We were uncertain what to expect but this trip isn’t describable. So much beauty and sights never seen before. Our guide, Trang, was beyond belief. English impeccable and so much knowledge of her culture and Halong bay. Do wait choose the best. Thanks Trang for your great care.

Half day private tour with Cherry
We went on a private boat tour a couple of days ago with Cherry. Cherry was so professional and very knowledgeable about the area and just lovely to spend time with. The private tour suited us but there is plenty of space on the boat if doing this as a group. Sights were stunning and we’d recommend this to anyone.

Choose Steven if you have the option
Steven provided a wonderful tour in the short amount of time we had. A lot pushed into 4 hours. The caves were amazing the boat ride was on point. Kayaking was like being on a different planet. Steven was able to make it all seamless.

Great experience if you only have a couple of hours to enjoy the bay. Steve was a great guide and helped explain the culture and history of the area.

A wonderful day touring Halong Bay.
We had a wonderful day on this tour through Halong Bay. Our guide Cheri was so friendly and informative. She made the day so pleasurable. The boat was clean and it was very relaxing. There is a large inside with tables and a rooftop viewing patio. We were taken to see the caves which was beautiful and fascinating. You climb stairs and walk through the beautiful caves. Later you are taken on a small boat through a cave. I would truly recommend this tour. Ask for Cheri !!!

Four hour morning tour of Ha Long Bay
We only had a half day in Halong Bay but Cherry was able to make the most of it for us. We headed out into the bay for an early morning tour and we were able to stay a step ahead of the crowds which made our time at the two caves and on the bamboo boat that much more special. Thank you Cherry.

Good half day cruise through central area of Halong Bay
Good 4 hour cruise to see 2 caves + bamboo boat in the central area of Halong Bay on your private boat. Our guide Cherry/Chung was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch was extra at $10 USD per person, and was plentiful. Would recommend for a good use of half a day.

Great half day private boat tour of Halong Bay
We had a good 4 hour cruise with our guide Chung/Cherry. She was very friendly and professional and made the tour interesting. Having the boat all to my family of six was a very nice experience. Halong Bay was beautiful, and time we went there was very little crowd at the cave and bamboo boat. Food on the boat tour was plentiful and delicious, thanks to the organisation of Windy. Overall would recommend the tour to anyone who only has half a day, definitely would see some beautiful parts of Halong Bay with less crowd
