Very good

The trip was pretty fun and memorable for a day. The boat is new and clean. Kayaking was a nice experience for me. The island I visited was a bit crowded. I may book an overnight cruise next time to explore the bay more.

Exciting experience with Iris Cruise

Satisfied with the tour, but not "really" because I felt it was a bit short because it was only 1 day. The manager was very polite and Tour Guide Cuong was very enthusiastic and cheerful. My 5 stars are for these staff. I would also like to say a good word for everyone's service. When I return to the US I will have one more tour to introduce to my acquaintances.
