Unique experience - A wonderful excursion in the bay. It starts with a luxurious bus, then a pick-up by our guide Hana who shared his knowledge in a very pedagogical way. The meal was good, and activities like kayaking, swimming and fishing village unforgettable!! Do it again!

A Vietnam Highlight - Lan Ha/Cat Ba Boat Trip - A great day out which we would highly recommend. Quieter waters than Halong Bay but scenery just as stunning. Packed in lots whilst still being very relaxing. Hama was a fantastic guide, sharing her knowledge with authority and humour. Everything from pick-up through to drop off at our hotel was well organised.

Lan ha and cat ba island - This tour was a very nice day, well organised and sorted out pick up and drop off back to hotel. Hana was an amazing tour guide, she has a wealth of knowledge about the local area and shared lots of useful information not only about the landscape but also the animals and fish. We were given plenty of time to swim and kayak. Lunch was nice and cooking class was very good. I can recommend this tour. Thanks Hana!

Amazing all day hiking/boat trip - This was an amazing hike and the guide Ba was a local who knew the area very well! He was an excellent guide and very prepared and helpful. We were in a small group of only 3 and there was no one else on the longer 12km route we took. After finishing the hike the boat ride back through Lan Ha bay was amazing on the small boat we took. We stopped to swim and there was no one else on the beach and area we went swimming. I would highly recommend this tour but make sure to bring LOTS of water, especially in summer. I had over 3L of water but with the heat I ran out by the end of the hike. Also make sure to bring bug spray. Ba provided bug spray but it is best to have your own.
