5.00We had an amazing time, the tour is definitely worth the money! Beautiful scenery, nice views and an incredible guide who was a local from one of the fishers villages who could share some of their way of living and knowledge. Monkey island was fun and the climb to the top is not for the faint hearted The guide went out of his way to ensure we were first on the sites so we had the place to our selves the first 20 minutes 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great day out

5.00I just had a memorable day. Great guide, respect for schedules and the sea route around cat ba. I was a little afraid ''especially being alone'' of coming across too large a group and being completely drowned in the crowd. The facts show otherwise. There were less than thirty of us for a large boat. Delicious meals served for lunch, very nice sea route, judicious stops (for swimming, visit to the fish farm, ( very interesting for the rest) and the icing on the cake stop at monkey island, with climbing the highest peak of the Isle rewarded with a 360° view of the sea and its multiple Isles of incredible shapes. All happiness. Very good atmosphere on board, nice meetings with travelers from all over the world, to short, a beautiful experience, I recommend warmly. Thanks to the whole team. I forgot to talk about kayaking activity, a nice surprise, the place chosen at the top and especially not too many people, just... perfect!
Local, relaxed and beautiful experience

5.00Excellent tour, my wife and I really enjoyed it. Amazingly organized from the beginning till the end, our tour guide Bing was very helpful, funny and easygoing! The tour is relaxed, gives you the feeling of how locals live and it is not commercialized e.g. Being in a boat with 200ppl. I have to say, that it is very much recommended. Thank you Bing for the memories you helped us create :)
Come here!!!!

5.00Really enjoyed the day trip to Lan Ha Bay, and Bing was a lovely guide! The trip was planned really well so they we did the kayaking and visit to Monkey Island before all the other tour groups arrived. The price for the tour depends on who you book it with, so may be worth asking around since I paid more than the others on the boat
