A budget-friendly full day on Lan Ha Bay from Cat Ba: kayaking, a floating fishing village, beach time, lunch, and a sunset cooking class.
“Our tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable about the area and gave engaging and fun explanations about different islands and areas we passed. This made the experience very enjoyable!

Full-day boat from Cat Ba or Hanoi through Lan Ha Bay to Monkey Island: swims, cave kayaking, lunch, and sunset tea.

TinTin and his crew were so so sweet and funny and personable. Lunch was delicious with vegetarian options available (delicious tomato sauce tofu!!) Monkey island…”

Heureusement le groupe était fort sympathique et un couple nous a même proposé leur salle de bain pour nous doucher.…”
Luxury cruise in Lan Ha Bay from Cat Ba with kayaking in Bright Cave, swimming at Ba Trai Dao, and a sunset party.

Cat Ba and Lan Ha Bay in one long day from Hanoi: cruise past fishing villages, kayak caves, swim, and enjoy a included lunch.
