Amazing Halong Bay Tours with Hai Au Aviator & 4-hour Cruise

We were travelling through Vietnam on Voyager of the Seas and decided to book two trips with Shore Excursions Asia - the Cai River Trip and the Halong Bay trip - we firstly contacted them from Australia by email and Sandra was brilliant and helped us with organising everything from the start - it started off with only myself and my husband but through Sandra*s help in advising us to go on Roll Call on Cruise Critic we ended up with about 12 for Cai River and 27 for Halong Bay - Both trips were perfect - from contact with Sandra all the way along to the actual day of our trips and then meeting our bus drivers, guides etc - everything was wonderful - both trips included lunch which was great - our guide we had on our Halong Bay trip was Sy who was fantastic - he was very knowledgeable, spoke perfect english and was very helpful throughout the whole day - he even took some photos of our group and sent them to us - All of us (the whole 27) said it was the highlight of their trip and we would all recommend Shore Excursions Asia (and in particular Sandra) for any excursions you might like to do - they were much better than the ones offerred on the cruise ship and also a much better price. Again thank you to all at Shore Excursions and particular mention to Sandra and Sy - thank you so much Jill and Russell Scott Australia

Delightful tour of Ha Long bay on a private junk for our small group. We went into an enormous cave and also enjoyed a rowboat exploration of a quiet cove that is home to a monkey colony. Later that night, we took the long drive to Hanoi where we spent the night in the 5-star Apricot hotel.
Our tour guide had excellent command of English. The driver was pleasant but didn't speak much English.
We felt the trip was a very good value for what we spent

Highlight of our entire 18 day cruise!

After reading the cruise sponsored tours in Ha Long Bay and not finding that the cruise line was offering boat rides in Ha Long Bay, I set out to find a four to six hour cruise with a more intimate group of fewer people. I was so excited to find Shore Excursions Asia and Rebecca Ng.

Working with Rebecca she was able to offer a smaller group boat ride and a 25 minute flight above Ha Long Bay. Best tour of our entire trip. There were eight of us on our outing to Ha Long Bay. Rebecca arranged for us to be picked up at the cruise terminal. We first cruised Ha Long bay and were led on a tour of Heaven Palace Cave. Afterwards we enjoyed a wonderful lunch on board. When we arrived back at the terminal we were driven to the flight terminal where we met our pilots from Hai Au Seaplane for our flight over Ha Long Bay. What an experience, what a thrill. Ha Long Bay is beautiful from a boat but wow it's another experience to see it from above. After our flight we were driven back to the terminal.

Rebecca Ng and our pilots made this tour into truly something special. Don't hesitate to book this tour. If you want a sightly different experience than ours then I suggest you work talk Rebecca to make your own dream a reality.
