TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:
- Our journey begins with a boat excursion from Cat Ba island, a start point that offers more beauty and intrigue than Ha Long city.

Amazing, adventure, great food - We had such a great time on the boat. Our guide Tony made everything so special and comfortable for us. We learned a lot, laughed a lot and felt like he really cared about creating a good time for us. The Moon Hotel we stayed in was beautiful and the staff was supportive and nice. Also the rooms on the boat had a lot of space. The food was great too.
All in all it was just amazing!
I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an adventure, because the activities are definitely not that „relaxing“. It is totally worth it though!
100% would do it again. Special thanks to Tony for the great time!

Friendly anf funny staff showed us the nicest places - We booked the 3D/2N trip at cat Ba and Halong bay and had 3 different guys (Sunny,Ben and Toni) all of them were very friendly and we could ask them everything.
They were very funny as well 😅.
We did a nice hike on day 2 and even if the weather wasn‘t that good it was worth seeing it all.
On the first day they showed us the Lan Ha Bay, which is as beautiful as the halong bay, but less crowded.
We were almost alone there and did some cayaking and swimming.
Food was also good.

3D/2N 🔝 - Everything was great! Food was delicious, the boat was clean and the staff was friendly.
Weather wasn't the best but nobody can do anything about that :)
Our guides Ben, Sunny and Toni tried hard and went on great trips with us.

Excellent! - We were very lucky with the weather and with our tour guide Tony, to whom we owe special thanks. A real original among all the guides who accompanied us on our 4-week tour. He spoiled us and captivated us with his informative stories about Vietnam. Thank you Tony.
The time on the ship, our activities on land and water were perfect. A paradise on earth is the view that seems to reinvent itself again and again.
Our day of trekking and cycling was just as good, challenging and organized just for us as a couple and is also one of the special days of our trip.

Loved it! - Lovely! We truly often were the only boat in the bays.. no tourist crowds at all!
After I was a little disappointed about the veg food they improved it right away to a top notch standard- what a service!
Tony was a funny, entertaining and thoughtful guide.
Thank you so much!
Go, go!, it is a great trip!

Beautiful address - We spent 3 exceptional days with cat ba ventures.
The organization is remarkable. The cabin in the boat is spacious, clean and well appointed.
Excellent meal and breakfast on board.
The crew and guide do everything they can to ensure you have a good stay. Kayaking, cycling and hiking allow you to appreciate the site.
In the evening you fish squid from the boat and the cook prepares them for you the next day
The icing on the cake was that we stayed there on my birthday. I was surprised at dinner to have a birthday cake with candles to blow out. The cake was shared with the other guests.
Without hesitation, I will return to cat ba ventures.

Cat Ba highly recommended. - Excellent trip. We started first day and night with Tom as cruise director. Great attention. Second day we did hike to Navy Peak and bike ride with B. Hike was challenging as we had some rain so very slippery on the boulders up the hill. Third day spent more kayaking and with Tony. To Tony was very funny and gave us a lot of insight into Vietnamese culture. Overall excellent trip. Staff super friendly and attentive. We ended up in secluded places away from the crowds which was great.

Very beautiful cruise & sport activities - Very nice cruise: worth it even in very foggy weather, which makes the bay mysterious.
Spacious room, quality meals
Great guides
Top kayak outings
Top bike ride
Trek very good but for advanced level especially if it rained before (requires you to put your hands on because a lot of stones and difference in altitude)

Excellent! - We could not recommend this cruise more!
The organisation and communication was fantastic, everything ran like clockwork.
The rooms and food on the boat were great.
The activities were very special and they do an amazing job to make it so that you are not surrounded by other tourists!
We had a different guide each day as most people were only doing 2D/1N. But all 3 guides, Ben, Jack and Bee were all absolutely fantastic and were ultimately what made it so special!

Great cruise, great guides. - Great cruise, great guides. It was a very nice tour. The focus on the less touristy areas is worth the money. When you go kayaking through various caves in a small group, it's simply unique. The food was also very tasty. It's not a luxury cruise. The equipment is basic by "western" standards. The hike was also more of a climbing tour. So hiking/climbing shoes are definitely recommended here. Praise also goes to the guides Tony and Ben, who rounded off the trip with great stories and insights.
