Witnessing the moment was breathtaking. Pick it up when you get the chance to visit. The sunset and night kayaking were perfect. It was really glowing when we touched it!

Cool Kayak Trip to see the plankton in the bay. Ryan was a very pleasant guide who brought us to a private beach and prepared a yummy barbecue :) After Sunset and eating we went to the Kayaking spot. Despite the Moon shining very bright this night (thus one cannot see the plankton very good) Ryan managed to find some very dark spots for us where we could see the plankton quite good!

Amazing! The host is very friendly and always willing to do everything to bring the best experience for everyone. The dinner served was also delicious! After dinner we went kayaking and saw the amazing plankton!! Although it is difficult to record with photos or videos, it will definitely be your most memorable experience at Cat Ba Island! Totally recommend it!

You will hardly believe your eyes when you are among the glowing plankton. They really surprised and delighted us. In addition, the barbeque was delicious, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the beach. Our guide was very knowledgeable, he chose the kayaking location so we could see the most glowing plankton! Thanks a lot!

Best tour in Cat Ba island! The tour was perfect, starting from our guide, that was amazing. He was able to find some good spots to see plankton. We have time to enjoy sunset and the view without a hundred of boat in the bay. You can have dinner on the beach with BBQ before do kayak.

Our tour guide had a lot of information about life in the floating villages.The sunset over the bay is beautiful. The moon was full so our guide was worried we wouldn't see many glowing creatures but he took us kayaking around the darkest part of the mountain so we could see the creatures glowing ephemeris. Truly magic. We recommend this itinerary!

We did the sunset tour & night kayaking and was super! We loved the place and the experience, and we also saw the bioluminiscent plancton that was really awesome. The kayak by night was really great too. I would repeat 100%!
