A memorable getaway that i’ll surely miss - The tour was great and fun. Though the weather that day was kind windy, the tour guide( Henry) has to go with their other plan by skipping the originally first island to be visited and proceed to the next island tour instead so we can squeeze pur time.

Henry and Hercules Grand cruise - Our tour guide Henry was such an amazing person. We had a great time in Ha Long bay. We selected Hercules Grand cruise for our one day trip to Halong bay from Hanoi. Henry told us about the culture, history and many more. I would definitely recommend it.
