Tommy was excellent, knowledgable and engaging throughout. The boat staff were also very professional and their customer service was exceptional. The six course lunch was nothing short of superb, kayaking, swimming and a cookery class were also all included. Thank you Tommy and the crew you deserve your 5*.

However, the boat looked tired, needs some redecoration and while Halong Bay is supposed to be a World Heritage Site it's actually a dump with a carpet of plastic and other waste floating across every square metre. Nothing would have got me on or in the water. It is nothing short of a disgrace and tourists will soon stop going when word spreads. Stories of s government clean up campaign were also circulating in 2016 but nothing's changed and therefore I wouldn't recommend a visit to HB to anyone.

Thankfully we only did the 1 day.

The entire experience start to end was amazing! Tommy and all the staff on the boat were so friendly and helpful. The food was a big surprise - I didn’t realise it was going to be a 4-5 course meal like a restaurant! The presentation and taste of the food deserves a big thumbs up. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to go Ha Long Bay to go with Tommy!
Only thing I’ll recommend is try not going in March - the weather was a little bit cloudy but it did clear up a little bit by the afternoon.

This is a nice cruise to pick if you prefer a relaxing laid back tour of halong bay. I was afraid the usual tours would be stopping at places packed full with tourists, which is why I picked this one that has a different itinerary. In the morning, the shuttle bus stops at a pearl farm rest stop, but no one pressures you to buy anything. After boarding the boat, the crew will serve a 5 star lunch while the boat cruises through the beautiful mountains and islands. We were delightfully full and satisfied with the delicious 6-course meal. You can order cocktails and mocktails or beer or coffee. Then you get to choose to kayak or ride a bamboo boat to see the dark and light cave. Next activity is swimming, the boat will park in a secluded bay area but not go on shore, no beach. Last activity is making spring rolls and light afternoon tea with cakes and fruit. The boat has plenty of clean and comfortable sitting space for chilling or sunbathing. There is also a shower if you need that after swimming. The crew is friendly and service is good. Bottled water is provided on the bus but not on the boat.

It was a very nice experience that I would recommend to anyone. The food was great, the team was very motivated, very attentive and very accommodating. The ship was very clean. The activities were also very good. We would particularly like to praise a crew member, Ms. MU, and thank her again for the great and easy organization. She always kept us up to date and her very good English enabled us to communicate without any problems. They even took some great pictures of us in our kayak. Overall, it was a great experience and very enriching.

We had an enjoyable day cruising along Halong Bay. Excellent service from the time of pick-up until the drop off. Hats off to our guide, Tommy for being very professional and attentive to the group's needs-- most especially for the assistance he consistently provided to our elderly mother.

Everything about the tour was fantastic. The service aboard the ship was top notch and the delicious and filling lunch deserves a special mention as well. We particularly enjoyed lounging about on the sun deck, sipping ice cold beer while taking in the spectacular view!

Our Catamaran cruise was definitely the highlight of our Hanoi trip!

Tommy and the crew were incredible from the start to the end of this once in a lifetime adventure to the the 7th wonder of the world - Ha Long Bay! Tommy was very knowledgeable about the area and respectful of our time. He made sure we had a beautiful experience and made sure everything ran like clockwork. From our pick-up to the kayaking and swimming. The crew were so kind, the food was incredible. The water slides outside our own private bay were a perfect cap to the day as the sun began to set. The spring took class was fun and delicious ! Tommy and the crew took amazing care to ensure we had a memorable experience. Thank you so much, I could not recommend more! Book this trip you won’t regret it !

We had a good day at Ha Long Bay Cruise with Tommy, our tour guide, our dependable driver and the cruise crew. The weather wasn’t the best; Tommy calls it the mystique weather but they made up for it with their cheery attitude and welcoming smile. The food was very satisfactory, the boat’s atmosphere and facilities were clean and the activities were fun. I’d recommend this tour to everyone who wants to visit.

We had an enjoyable time on the Halong Catamaran! There were not many people on the boat today which was perfect! We did the kayaking and my husband cut his foot while trying to steer the kayak off the rocks we ran into. The manager of the Catamaran, Devlin, did a good job applying antiseptic and patched the wound with gauze. Thank you Devlin! There was plenty to eat for lunch on board, and the afternoon tea was great too!

This was not my first time in Hà Nội or touring Halong bay. The tour wasn’t the cheapest of the options available so our expectations were high; happy to say our expectations were exceeded. Hotel pick up was prompt, even with Hà Nội traffic to contend with. Our guide Tommy was warm, knowledgeable and most importantly well organised. He made the whole excursion run like clockwork.

The experience on the boat was excellent; spacious, had water slides, warm showers and was immaculate throughout. They crew were so friendly & accommodating (Ben especially went the extra mile to make our trip memorable).

And finally I cannot speak highly enough about the food, this really exceeded our expectations. Fine dinning quality, 5 well plated and delicious courses.

Would recommend.

The most wonderful day on the waters of Ha Long Bay with Tommy! Tommy is informative, funny and just so sweet! He made sure that everyone was enjoying themselves, and always made sure to put safety first. He is passionate about his job - he oozes in excitement! The cruise itself was very classy - five star meal and such a fun fresh roll course too! The entire staff was awesome! I can’t recommend this day trip enough! Don’t hesitate to book and ask for Tommy too!
