I just got back from this trip and it was awesome! Definitely recommend going this route for someone who wants to do a cruise but doesn’t want to commit to a touristy setting. The homestay was great and the guide was cool. 10/10

We had an awesome time at Lan homestay. Stunning location, great hiking opportunities right from three front door. The food was excellent, and the evening dining arrangements are very sociable, a good way to meet new people. The staff are fantastic and took care of everything. Thanks Thanh!

Even our special food requirements (vegan) were no problem and we got a very delicious dinner in front of an outstanding panorama.Further we would like to mention the stuff on board which made also a perfect job.Less

For me, their package is incredibly affordable, the arrangements they made (for tour guides, meals, and lodging) are absolutely fantastic and the staffs are very kind, understanding and sincere. We are really grateful to Jerry for making our trip to Vietnam delightful and memorable.Less

The price was really reasonnable, and they never overcharged anything. Thank you for this ..More

Chilly was so warm and helpful, from booking to our departure. He organised all our transport as well as amazing and memorable activities for us. Thanh took us for a sunset bbq and night kayaking to see the luminescent plankton. Another day we went on a day cruise with kayaking and swimming around Cat Ba (note, there was quite a bit of kayaking involved which we loved but good to know if you don’t feel like that!) on each trip we felt really looked after and safe, which is quite different from friend’s experiences around the same time with different companies. We loved Lan Homestay and the family meals were delicious. Chilly and Thanh are charming and wonderful hosts! Jerry was lovely too. It was definitely the highlight of our two week trip to Vietnam. Can’t thank them enough.Less
