I absolutely loved it. I would recommend it to anyone going Vietnam. Even the locals recommend it. There were only two of us on the boat, which would have fit about 20 people. We didn't get a choice to swim in the water, which I would have loved to do. But I loved every minute of it. Tour guide speak brilliant English and knew his stuff.

A good tour on the whole, but I was a little disappointed that I was not allowed to swim and a little lonely because there was only me on the boat!

We were alone on a massive junk boat so it was kind of wasteful and a bit lonely. The guide also cut the boat ride short and told us we couldn't jump off the boat and swim in the bay, though he found time to stop at tourist trap souvenir factories on the drive out to Halong Bay and again on the way back to try to get us to buy stuff at stores he had obviously made deals with. When we told him we didn't want to shop, he and the driver got out of the vehicle anyway and stopped and had tea with the factory owners while my brother and I waited in the overheating car for 30 minutes. Vietnam is notoriously shady, but I expected to not have to deal with any of that on this tour since I paid American prices and booked through a reputable company.
