Amazing experience!!! - I loved my three-day, two-night tour with Cat Ba Ventures. We visited beautiful places and lagoons, with great opportunities for swimming and kayaking. I enjoyed it so much that I added an extra day! I had four different guides. The first was Tuang (Tony), who was energetic and funny, he kept us entertained during dinner. On the second day, I went on a hike in Cat Ba National Park. Unfortunately, it had rained the day before, and the trail was very muddy and slippery. That made it hard to enjoy the hike, as I was mostly worried about falling and hurting myself, which I did. In my opinion, this hike shouldn't be offered during the rainy season. Viet Hai Village was very lovely, and the fish massage in the pond was a fun experience. My guide Ninh was patient and helpful, especially when I was struggling on the hike. My third day, my favorite so far—included swimming and kayaking in Ha Long Bay. What a breathtaking and unbelievable experience! Bing, my guide, was sweet, lovely, extremely patient, and accommodating. He even spotted langurs in the trees, which made the trip even more magical. On my fourth day (the one I added), the experience was just as beautiful, with more swimming and langur sightings. This time, my guide was Hang, who was clever, funny, and enthusiastic. He was especially good at entertaining the children on the boat with his magic tricks and engaging personality. Overall, I had a truly magical experience with Cat Ba Ventures discovering both Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay. The staff at the office were also helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend Cat Ba Ventures for exploring this paradise!

Beautiful boat trip - It was a very nice trip. The guide was super nice and told a lot about the beautiful things to see. He took us to nice places (caves, lagoon etc.). The food was also super tasty and freshly made by the chef on the boat.

Perfect trip - We had an amazing time with Cat Ba ventures! The activities were well planned, the food was good, the boat was clean, the crew was really nice. Special mention to our guides : Hang who has so much knowledge about the bay (and has a lot of magic tricks), Kai who kindly gave us fans when we were hiking and distracting us from the heat with his stories, and Tony who gave us history lessons (very interesting ones!!) on the tide and the vietnamese culture. I think what they all had in common is their love for nature and their love for sharing!

One of the best experiences of our entire Trip - We were incredibly lucky to join a two-day boat trip around Cat Bar with our amazing guide Nimh. As a family, together with a few other guests, we had such a wonderful time on board. The stunning scenery, the crystal-clear water, and the breathtaking surroundings completely amazed us. We went kayaking and swam to a nearby island, and created unforgettable memories along the way. The food on board was absolutely delicious—freshly prepared and full of flavor. Nimh and the entire crew took such great care of us, making sure we felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the trip. This was truly one of the best experiences of our entire holiday, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this trip to everyone!

Private 3D/2N Ha Long Bay cruise with Hien - We had an incredible 3 day, 2 night Ha Long Bay cruise with our guide Hien. Communication with Cat Ba Ventures when booking the trip and prior to pick up from our hotel in Hanoi was very quick and responsive. Hien took us kayaking to beautiful lagoons and caves, pointing out all the wildlife along the way. We were able to get away from the crowds for most of the trip and really got to enjoy our time in the picturesque landscapes. The crew were all very friendly and accommodating. The meals were all delicious with large portions. On the last day, we visit a fish farm, biked to Viet Hai village, and had a nice lunch at a local restaurant. This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam.

A beautiful experience . Well run and organised tourist experience - We booked online from Australia after watching many YouTube of HaLong Bay Cat Ba Ventures have a tour of Han La Bay for 3 days and 2 nights which was perfect. We had 3 guides Ben , Viet and Hien . All fantastic people with good English and knowledge of the place. We were unsure of paying @$1000aud for the trip but by the second day we were happy with the cost Level of service is very high Thank you Cat Ba Ventures James Byron bay Australia

Beautiful, relaxing, must do - We did the 3D2N cruise and had the best time. It was so relaxing sailing through the bays. The room was spacious and comfortable. Our tour guides Ninh, Hien and Tony were all fabulous. Ninh was hilarious and cracked great jokes. Hien ably lead us up Navy Peak - which was not for the faint of heart. Tony was so generous sharing his vast knowledge of the Lunar calendar and tides, and some history of Vietnam including his own family history. Would recommend doing this tour, everyone one says one night is not enough and we were sad to leave the boat after two nights. Pick ups and drops offs were also very smooth, direct from our hostel and they even arranged transport to Ha Long City for us to catch our bus to Ha Giang.

Something for everyone on a chill part of the bay - Lovely trip on a smallish boat , looks much more chill and personal than the bigger boats we saw. We did 2n/3 day trip with lots of swimming, kayaking, cycling and a bit of trekking. Great for the teen kids and also plenty time to relax on boat. Great food really excellent and very good guides. Bathrooms a little shabby and tired but ok.
