Amazing National Park tour - Our guide, Rudy, was knowledgeable and very funny. Very much enjoyed this tour; highly recommend. Do recommend comfortable shoes for the hike, not sandals even when it’s summer.

Great trip would define recommend - This trip was one of the highlights of our holiday. Pick up was on time and we had a pleasant drive to the National park with a short comfort break included. On arrival we were met by our informative and entertaining guide “two” who look us to our longboat. We were 9 people in total so had plenty of room to move about the boat for photo opportunities. Lunch was tasty and there was time for swimming or kayaking after. We had a walk through the rainforest and then transferred to a bamboo raft for our visit to the caves before making our way by longboat back to the bus pick up point.

Fantastic day trip - Had a great time on this tour - pick up was on time (even when we had to change hotels last minute!), tour guides were lovely and food was very tasty - would definitely recommend if you want to experience the National Park without staying overnight!

Must do! Time well spent! - While the tour is truly a full day, 12 hours from pick-up to drop-off for us, it is truly worth taking the time to do. The park and the lake are stunning with rock formations unlike you will see anywhere else. We could barely stop taking pictures of the scenery. Lunch at the raft house was large and delicious. We had chicken green curry, deep fried fish, and veggies. They offer a vegan or vegetarian option if requested. The second part of the tour with the bamboo raft ride, jungle hike, and cave walk also provide a truly unique experience. Rudy, our guide, was very knowledgeable providing information on the history of the lake, aspects of the cave, and pointing out signs of wildlife. We saw monkeys, various lizards, as well as elephant and tapir trails. Rudy was able to get us to the popular spots while avoiding the crowds of other tour groups. Plenty of cold water and tea was provided.

Good experience, diet preference not considered - Beautiful places, courteous guide. However, I had informed about my vegan diet preference in advance but the guide and the restaurant staff were not aware of it

Long drive, but worth it! - It’s a long drive but worth it! Our guide was knowledgeable in the jungle and cave. We had plenty of time to swim and it was refreshing. We got down poured on the way back to the pier but it was a fun experience.

A long, but enjoyable, day. - Quite a long day, but a well organised tour. The minibus was clean and comfortable. Naturally the tour was quite quick, and only really included two main activities (a photograph stop at the classic viewpoint and a short hike and bamboo raft to an amazing and unique cave), as well as being on the lake itself. Bear in mind that it is an artificial reservoir and not a natural lake. It is a shame we didn't really see much wildlife on the walk, but it was still enjoyable to be in the rainforest. The included lunch was very good - quite a few dishes and plenty of food. The tour guide expressed that he didn't feel the group were interested enough, which was a bit strange and unfair as we did not get this impression. Overall, though, we found him informative and friendly.

Beautiful tour, but not very active - We did this tour on 25-02-2023. The trip was well organized and there were beautiful sights on the lake. However, it was not as active as we had hoped. A lot of time was reserved for lunch, for chilling by ourselves at the restaurant, and waiting around.
The actual hike to the Coral cave was maybe 20 minutes one way and this was the only active thing we did.

Halong Bay visitors would not need to go - Guide was doing his best but felt the day really gets dragged out longer then needed.
If you've been to Halong Bay in Vietnam there would be no need to do this trip at all. Rock formations but not single island structures like Halong. (this is more like coastline), caves, kayaking, swimming etc.
Jungle and cage was ordinary, lunch was nice, kayaking and swimming was what you would expect.
Would not want to do this in peak season as would be very busy at lunch, swimming area.
Overall I feel if your time or activity schedule was full you could easily leave this one off and have a chilled day by the pool where you're staying.

Hike was good, wish I had a better experience - Although I loved the hike and the cave, the hiking guide took a liking to me. He continued to separate me from the group, insinuating that we could go and get intimate in the huts along the hike and then telling me to meet him in the bathroom at the end of the hike. He made several remarks that made me uncomfortable and like I said, continued to separate me from the rest of the group. I was a solo traveler and felt uncomfortable to say the least
