I joined this tour after my Halong Bay cruise the day before. If you really want to sail among and see the islands in both Halong and Lan Ha Bay, look no further and choose this one. I saw so much more today than the 2-day Halong Bay cruise where the cruise boat anchored near Titop Island most of the time.
The tour is activity-packed - swimming, kayaking and optional rock climbing. Our guide Joe has done an excellent job in prioritising safety above all other things. He gave clear instruction before and during the actovities, not an easy job with 8 kayeks scattered around over quite a huge area. This is of utmost importance when we moved in and out of caves with tiny entrance so that accidents can be avoided. He is also very encouraging. When we climbed up the rocky slope in Monkey Island, we had to swim to the beach there first. He helped me bring my water-bag with shoes etc inside to the beach and kept motivating me when I was a bit intimitated by the need to climb the rocks in sandles! Although I didn't reach the top, I'm very thankful to Joe for his great support and enjoyed it a lot.
Anorher staff T (Tin-tin) is also very helpful and has good logistic plan. He even cooked our yummy lunch.
Basics like towels and snorkels were provided.
Book this tour and you won't regret it!
