Fantastic!! - We start with a 14 km trek which, although demanding, is very worthwhile. Getting through the jungle and seeing the scenery before reaching the remote village of Viet Hai was certainly the best thing of the day. Special mention for our guide, Cânh. Despite not speaking much English, he was a charmer and tried very hard throughout. He gave us very interesting explanations and, besides, he is a fantastic photographer! He was also on the lookout for the most difficult stretches so that no one would be left behind or hurt. After the hike, the itinerary was perfect to regain strength: ​Cuisines: Delicious, authentic and very abundant. ​ Kayak: A super relaxing way to explore the still waters near the coastFeet Massage: A gift for the soul (and for the feet)! After 14 km, the fish/water foot massage was just what we needed. We end the day with a boat ride back to Cat Ba, enjoying the views of the bay at sunset.

Perfect guide for this adventurous journey - A rather tiring crossing requiring a lot of caution not to fall among the stones and roots. For this our guide was a perfect assistance. He knew by his enthusiasm and natural joy to make this journey very pleasant.

A most challenging hike, you need to be fit to this, well worth it. - Ghecko our tour guide was fabulous, and took great care of an older chap who needed to go slower, so 3 of us went ahead. He had good medical supplies when 2 people got scrapes. The hiking is insane, you need adequate shoes and to be fit to do this as it’s literally rock climbing through boulders in places, extremely challenging. Fish massage in the river was funny, a short bike ride around to the harbour, kayaking and swimming, just brilliant!

Ha Long Bay + Viet Hai village tour - I have had a pleasant experience with my tour guide Canh! He told us a lot about the floating villages and we had a bike tour through the remote Viet Hai Village. After having had a fish spa there, we went back to the boat to do kayaking together. Tonight we will meet up again for some games of 8-ball pool! Love our guide :)

Cat Ba Island Full day tour with Loi - It’s nice experience to have Loi as a guide. We did full day tour with Aroma for cat ba national park, viet hai village and lan ha bay. Loi is very knowledgeable about the area and he knows a lot of plants when we hiked in the national park. It made the hike more interesting and not boring

A must do - Gecko our guide was amazing! The trek is difficult but Gecko and his aid were there to help. This trek, the village lunch, the cycling around the island and the boat ride to finish the day was incredible. 11/10!

quiet and peaceful day in nature - Super good tour absolutely recommendable. Loi the tour guide has a lot of knowledge about nature and tells a lot (but never too much). I especially enjoyed the peace and friendliness. No rushing around.

Great! - We had a great tour with Loi. He knows a lot about the plants in the national park and the tour comes with a lunch break and a tea break. Loi was really nice and explained us everything we asked. You can see he does it with heart. Thank you Loi!
