Winter hike, couldn't have been any better ♡. - From pick up to finish it was a mazing experience, not too full on, but still a challenge. You got to experience fantastic parts of Cat Ba. Our guide and driver was lovely, kind and very informative of the nature, history, culture and religion ♡. Overall amazing experience! Thank you!

Value! - The walk was great! Our guide Phuc led our group with great enthusiasm and care. Ngu Lam Peak has very beautiful views. Cave Hospital is a very rich testimony of a Vietnamese of other times. It was worth it!

Book this experience. - It was a very well organized tour. Our guide did a very good job by telling lot of background information and sharing the history of the places we visited. 'The captain' did also a good job by driving us around and telling a lot about the religion and pagode. Book this!

Authentic a'd beautiful - An awesome trip in the nature! Congrats to the guide, he knows the jungle so well, that he's going bare-footed! He told us so much about animals, history and how the people here were living. It was not a problem for us, but keep in mind that the hike is difficult, you even have to climb rocks in some places.
