We had the most amazing few days in the homestay and on the boat tour of Cat Ba. The village of Viet Hai is perfect for those who want a more low key experience of this part of Vietnam. The organisers are really helpful before you arrive and will help you organise transfers from places like Hanoi. We stayed at the Lan Homestay in Viet Hai which is very peaceful. We went on one of the day boat ..More
We had the most amazing few days in the homestay and on the boat tour of Cat Ba. The village of Viet Hai is perfect for those who want a more low key experience of this part of Vietnam. The organisers are really helpful before you arrive and will help you organise transfers from places like Hanoi. We stayed at the Lan Homestay in Viet Hai which is very peaceful. We went on one of the day boat trips which included kayaking around the islands and a very tasty lunch on board. Thanh is an excellent host and was very helpful booking our tour and travel around the island. Tin our tour guide was very engaged with our small group and provided lots of interesting info about the island and the surrounding areas and people.Everyone spoke very good english. The only downside was the road to get to the village from the port was under construction which made getting to the port for tours a bit of a pain but the travel company help you and take you on golf buggy’s the entire distanceLess
