Great experience

We had an excellent trip with Cat Ba Ventures and a great guide, Ninh. The tour was well-organized and on-time. Plenty of food. Highlights were kayaking and swimming off the boat.

Perfect!

Great experience with Tony! The boat is very comfortable and the perfect size (max 16 people), the activities are varied, the meals are delicious, and especially the places we went to were really quiet. Tony is a great guide! Thanks again for everything

Lan Ha - Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba

These are the places that leave you breathless. Thousands of karst formations rising from the emerald green water, navigating among them is surreal. At dawn, the fog confuses you, hawks and sea eagles gracefully glide among the highest peaks. The atmosphere is surreal. At sunset, everything changes, the colors transform into golden hues. Lan Ha is less touristy than Halong. Bays with few boats, kayaking, and silence. Reaching Cat Ba by bike reveals the slightly wilder side. The jungle, the cliffs, the beauty. The critical point, however, exists and it hurts. The trash. Bottles, bags, and styrofoam float everywhere. Very little is done, almost nothing, to improve. Choose small boats. When you book, pay close attention to the photos on the websites, as they often do not correspond to reality. No less than two nights on board.
