The boat and rooms are exactly as pictured, comfortable and clean. The food and level of service was well above what we expected.Our guide Noi was lovely and gave us lots of information. Very helpful as well such as ordering us a taxi when we got off the boat as we werenâ€™t going back to Hanoi.Single use plastic has been banned from the bay so they will make you throw away/leave behind and pick up later. This is a good thing! We noticed much, much less plastic waste floating in the sea compared to other places in Asia. But it wasnâ€™t mentioned until 5 mins before going to the boat - some people had already stocked up with bottles of water and werenâ€™t too pleased. Water and reusable bottles are provided on the boat free of charge.Less

Specially for Vietnamese guide. He was very nice for my parents. Actually, I couldn't be with my parents because I should work at that time. Even, I was worried about my parents. The local guide was taking care of my parents a lot. So, it was really good for me. Thank you.
