It was fantastic! I was so impressed by the island's landscape, the animals, and the birds. My 8-year-old was thrilled, grinning ear to ear. Monkey Island was both scary and interesting. The lunch was delicious. We had a great group of travelers.

I really enjoyed Monkey Island; it was a joy to feed and observe the wild monkeys. The speedboat traveled between locations very quickly.

It was really cool! Thank you so much for the tour! The guide Evgenia quickly showed us everything, explained everything, we were the first in everything and took photos without lines or waiting. Thank you so much, Evgenia, for a really cool vacation 🩷 I really enjoyed everything, we fed the elephant, goats, ostriches, and fawns. The photo with the parrots will forever remain in my heart ❤️😍 soft fluffy ones. Throughout the orchid island, there were sprinklers on the trees that cooled us from the heat, so the tour was comfortable. The most interesting thing was the goose race; the geese were very funny, I've never seen anything like them 😄 Afterwards, we decided to relax and went to the blue sea, we had our own sun loungers. They showed a bird show, eagles, golden eagles, cockatoos, ostriches. We especially loved the ostriches that spread their huge wings and ran around the arena ❤️. Next, we took a speedboat to Monkey Island, where a delicious, varied buffet awaited us. Without waiting or queuing, we grabbed lunch and enjoyed it in peace and quiet. A big thank you to Evgeniya for preparing a surprise for lunch for us ❤️❤️❤️ 🩷 It was absolutely necessary on a hot day. 🩷 After us, hungry monkeys with their babies were waiting 😍, and then again, we were the first to feed them. The park is very large, with a huge number of monkeys. After taking photos, swimming, and relaxing, we happily took the speedboat back to our pier. Afterwards, the transfer driver (Vietnamese) played Russian songs for us, and we sang along with everyone on the ride. Unforgettable ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for the cool tour ❤️❤️❤️

It was very interesting, the guide Anya explained everything in detail. Everyone really enjoyed the show, it was relaxed and very fun, and the monkeys were incredible. Lena the elephant was also cool. Thank you very much.

The tour was very well organized. I really enjoyed the mini-group and the speedboat (we were everywhere a little earlier than everyone else, avoiding lines and crowds). We actually arrived at Orchid Island first and were the only ones there! The island itself is very beautiful, every spot a perfect photo opportunity. There were no orchids, though. The beach and the sea itself were disappointing. I was expecting beautiful sea views and the color of the water (as advertised for the tour), but that wasn't the case. And for me, it was best to finish after the first island—we weren't tired or fried yet. Monkey Island lives up to its name; there are lots of monkeys there. We were a bit scared. I personally liked the first island better, but my child liked the second. The beach there is even worse, the water is murky, and the tide is low. Overall, 4 stars for the beaches and the length—but that's just my preferences and expectations.

We enjoyed the tour. We visited two beautiful islands with stunning views. The organization was excellent, and everything went smoothly and unhurriedly. A special thank you to our guide, Anna – she was very pleasant, friendly, and attentive. She provided engaging and engaging information, yet was completely unobtrusive, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere throughout the entire tour. Thanks to her, the trip left only positive impressions.

Excellent tour! We loved everything, Anastasia, the guide, was wonderful. We arrived at each island first, explored everything without the crowds, and she explained everything clearly and engagingly. The organization was top-notch! Thank you!

If I could give it a 10, I would! Everything was wonderful! Anna was a wonderful guide. She was very sociable, shared lots of interesting facts about Vietnam, answered all my questions, and shared her experiences of living in Asia. The conversation was relaxed and pleasant, like going on a walk with old friends. Our group was small, only 8 people, and I consider that a huge plus! I also want to especially mention the organization—we were the first at all the locations and could practically enjoy the views alone. We really enjoyed everything, and we'll definitely go somewhere else, including Treasure Island, again and again!
