We really enjoyed the boat ride. On the description on GetYourGuide, this trip does not mention cycling. This is why we chose this trip, as one of my friends cannot ride a bike, so it was disappointing when this was announced with no other optional activity.

Stunning mountain views, more than two hours rolling on the boat by Vietnamese lady. Never ending of beautiful scenery. Our tour guide was helping an 89 year old lady in our group to climb up over 400 stairs. He really looking after her. We were just so appreciated

It was an action packed excursion, rain or shine. It was a bit tough cycling in heavy rain to see rice fields and couldn't see far after climbing 500 steps to the Mua Cave view point because of the rain. Lunch buffet was ok. The Trang An river and cave complex scenery was amazing, peaceful and enjoyable, albeit a bit crowded with tourists and luckily, our rower steered the opposite way down the river. The shuttle bus was clean and nicely air conditioned. The guide is knowledgeable and we felt safe and taken care of the whole day.
