The boat ride was lovely and scenic, but a bit long and so got quite monotonous by the end. My friend and I also really did not like the lunch--it was bad fast food that was exceptionally greasy, but we are vegetarian and so admittedly did not try all the options available it was a buffet style lunch. The bike ride was beautiful and our favorite part of the tour: we got to see the rice fields, which we both loved. However, the bike ride did not feel like an hour long, and we were using old/damaged bikes that were difficult to ride.

This was such a rewarding and exciting experience! The bus was prompt and our tour guide Benjamin spoke great English and was absolutely hilarious! Hoa Lu was beautiful, but nothing really compares to the bike and boat ride at Halong Bay. WOW! Will definitely be recommending this to friends and fam!
