Real experiences from real travelers
The day cruise was absolutely stunning. The transfer from Hanoi was smooth and comfortable. Sung Sot cave is massive and the views from Ti Top island are worth the steep climb. Lunch was a feast of fresh seafood!
I was worried a day trip would be too rushed, but the new highway makes it very doable. We had about 6 hours on the boat which was perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. Highly recommend the kayaking.
We booked the deluxe option and it was great value for money. The boat was clean and the staff were very attentive. The only downside was the crowds at the cave, but that's expected for such a famous place.
Even with a bit of mist, the bay looks incredible. It adds to the atmosphere. The buffet lunch catered well to my vegetarian diet too, which was a nice surprise.
Booked the private tour for my family. The privacy was worth the extra cost. We could explore at our own pace and the guide took excellent care of my elderly parents.
