Hiking to the top of Titop Island provides a fantastic panoramic view, the chance to witness a magnificent sunset over a glass of wine, and a kayaking choice. For the price, I believe this is the greatest day tour program for Halong Bay.
Wonderful experience! Everything went perfectly. The hostel's pick-up service was prompt and courteous. The trip to Halong Bay took approximately two and a half hours. After a delicious lunch on the boat, you may go hiking, swimming, kayaking, or exploring a cave.
Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to travel to Halong Bay.

First of all, the shuttle bus is super modern, safe, and comfortable. The driver is friendly n experienced, too.
We have nothing to complain about the cruise. The food on board was fresh & delicious, there are many choices even for vegetarians.
The guide was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable.
The highlight of my tour is the cave - I had to go kayaking to explore the mysterious cave, and it was really fun.
Pros: - the boat is very nice & clean. plenty of seafood, available vegetarian meal
Cons: - I wish I had more time to stay
