From the start till the end, the experience was FANTASTIC! We were picked up at our hotel in the Old Quarter by our guide, Tiger. Tiger has done a fantastic job. He had a lot of energy and kept informing us about the program throughout our 2 days. He gave us a lot of information about Vietnam, its people, its culture, its way of living. Not only have we discovered beautiful places, we also learned a lot. UniCharm's specificity is that they brought us to a less touristic route in the Halong Bay area. As mentioned by Tiger, tourists don't like to see tourists around. We could enjoy beautiful sceneries without having other tourists' boats around us. The boat was perfect. The staff was very attentive to satisfy all our needs. Everyone always had a big smile to give. On the first day, we went canoeing for 2 hours...practically all alone with the other guests of the boat. Beautiful feeling. Amazing landscape! The 2nd day, early in the morning, we went cycling and that gave us another view of how Vietnamese people are living on an island. We definitely recommend UniCharm for the great organization of the whole experience, for Tiger, who was an amazing tour guide, for the nice and very special route we had the chance to take at Halong Bay: from the pick up at our hotel till the return to our hotel, we enjoyed every minutes of it! THANK YOU!!

If your looking for a unique tour with one of the nicest and most knowledgeable locals of cat ba and lan ha then book with Tien. Tien's tour is flexible, as it also depends on weather/tides/fitness level and can be tailored to the guests needs, which we loved. This is the only tour that will take you to secret spots and beautiful escapes only someone with a lifetime of knowledge of the area would know. Some of the highlights of the tour were joining a local fishing family to eat crab with them on they're fishing boat. Adventuring into secret caves on kayak. Seeing the beautiful nature the area has to offer in a small group. Tien picked times and places to visit certain areas in a way that avoids other tour groups and tourist. Which gave us a much more peaceful and enjoyable experience. We highly reccomended this tour. No other tour offers what tien can, book it now! 😄

We did this trip as a family of four (kids ages 12 and 9). We were on the only guests on the tour. The tour is very heavy on the kayaking, so be prepared for 3 hours of significant paddling. We did not realize the amount of kayaking. As it was low enough tide, we went through a cave to a secret lagoon. This required us to get out of the kayak and a walk a bit on very sharp rocks. He did ensure we had shoes that could get wet, but didn't specify ahead of time the level of uneven and sharp walking we'd do. My shoes in particular can handle the water for getting in and out of kayaks for example, but did not protect my toes or ankles as I didn't know that would be happening. We took three main breaks and two of those were floating in lagoon areas where you could swim (deep water). The final break was the dinner at sunset on the beach. While the views were gorgeous, the beach itself was a former resort site and the beach was littered with construction rubble. It was very private and we had low tide, which meant we got to walk out in the water to search for sea life. We were not interested in catching any of it permanently and/or eating it, but the kids had a blast catching and releasing. We caught 2 octopi, shrimp, sea cucumber, crabs, and more. They also enjoyed looking for bioluminescent plankton while kayaking. Also, all of your belongings you need to carry with you in the kayak if you want them during the day. The wet bags provided are not enough for all your items, particularly if the weather is a bit chilly and you're bringing towels, jackets, etc. Bring minimum items and be prepared for heavy kayaking and long periods sitting in the kayak. For dinner, we had fried rice, spring rolls, fried pork, and squid that he made ahead of time and brought. We heated food by the driftwood fire. My kids, particularly my 9 year old, had a blast. The landscape was great and Tien was very nice.

The boat tour in Ha Long Bay with Doris Cruise was absolutely a blast! We went on a 3days 2nights experience and it was the perfect amount of time visiting the beautiful bay. The food was good, and entertainment and room service were also good. We visited the archipelago on the boat but we could also enjoy a ride on Cat Ba island seeing some out of the world scenarios. A special mention to our waiter and guide Gus (Hieu) who was with us all the time, sharing his knowledge about this land with us, sharing some small curiosities about Vietnamese fruits and culture. Highly recommended to take the 3d2n option if possible!

The boat was clean and confortable. The crew very friendly. Had a wonderful time kayaking and swimming. The food was OK. It wasn’t always served hof. It was tasty though. The bike trip to the village was a very touristy expwrience. Not very authentic but the fish massage was great. Had lots of laughs. All in all it was well worth our money.
