Amazing tour! Lan Ha Bay is truly natural, quiet, and beautiful! Luckily, when the boat stopped at Ba Trai Dao Beach for swimming, it was sunny, and we were well-prepared with towels afterward. Our guide was excellent, a solid 10/10. He answered all of our questions. Thanks a lot!

The best day for us! Our tour guide, Than, provided us with a lot of information about Lan Ha Bay and took great care of us. Kayaking and swimming were so cool. The weather was quite cold, but there was still a little sunshine in the afternoon. Highly recommended!

Our one-day cruise in Lan Ha Bay was simply an unforgettable experience. We were a small group of only a dozen people that day, so it was a really relaxed and family atmosphere. We explored the caves by kayaks, went swimming and visited one of the fish farms. Many, many thanks to our guide Ryan, who made this day perfect with his explanations and charming sense of humor. We enjoyed it a lot.

This was one of the best tours I have been on in a long time. Ryan was the best tour guide, he had a great knowledge about the bays and the types of wildlife along the tour. The kayaking was by far my favourite part. I was very apprehensive before hand but Ryan made sure to make me feel comfortable and helped me overcome this fear. I also really enjoyed the food, there was a good selection that catered for vegetarians. Jumping off the boat and swimming to some of the beaches was a great experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting cat ba.Less
