Unforgettable experience at Ha Long Bay Unforgettable experience. Robert took us to a private lagoon where we kayaked around. Then he took us to a cave and showed us all the stalagmite formations. We had an amazing lunch on the boat as well. Refreshments and fruit after each excursion was very satisfying.

Thank you Robert!!! Robert was an amazing guide with so much knowledge about Nimh Binh and the history of Vietnam. This helped us make connections to the creation of the country with what we were physically seeing, ultimately allowing us to appreciate the land. The tour was well balanced with activity and rest, and the local meal was so delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a day trip away from the city 🙂
