Amazing - The day was fully packed with activities. Lots of stops, but also a very relaxed athmosphere. You go to breathtaking places where there is little to none other groups. The guide is very knowledgeable about the topics.

Great tour, excellent guide - Our guide Ryan was fantastic - very knowledgable about the area and the culture as he grew up on the floating houses around the bay. Kyaking was great fun as was swimming to a small beach. Lunch was excellent - lots to eat and lots of choice! Only downside was the litter in parts of the bay

Amazing day, and Ryan is the best! - We had such a lovely one-day cruise to Lan Ha Bay, couldn't imagine a more pleasant day! Incredible scenery, kayaking through caves to get to hidden lagoons, great swimming, a huge delicious authentic Vietnamese lunch, and Ryan was just the best, most friendly guide ever! Don't hesitate to take this tour!

Seems like a private tour being a group tour - Great trip! The boat, the guide, the route: we were alone most of the day, kayaking was great for nearly 1'5h, we swam in a beautiful place by a cave and a small beach alone and the food was delicious!

Great day trip through Lan Ha Bay - Great tour. The various stops for snorkeling and swimming are breathtaking and it was wonderfully taken care that we were either the first on site or drove to bays where we were completely alone. It was zero overflow and we could enjoy nature in peace. Our guide spoke very good English and gave us extra information about the places or even the fish farm each time. There was also something for everyone at the meal, there were vegetarian options and meat/fish dishes. Also, attention was paid to allergies. Overall a great tour and highly recommended.

Lần Hả and Halong - We did the full day tour of Lần Ha and Halong Bay with Kayaking in caves and a walk through a cave to a secret beach. Went swimming jumping off the boat and visiting the floating fishing village and the floating village. A great day and well run by Ryan. Thanks Ryan!

A Life Altering Experience - Ever had an experience that made you tremble, not because it was horrible but because it touched your very essence? That's how I felt on this trip when seeing the highly endangered Cat Ba languer. It was incredible to see these shy creatures languishing in the trees and to recognise the fragility of life in them. So uplifting to know they are fiercely protected in the UNESCO heritage site. Loved the trip as a whole, the scenery, food, company, adventure. Special thanks to Luu who was the perfect host and shared so much information about this magical place.

Oustanding - An outstanding experience. This tour took us where others don't go as they know the most secluded places. Luu was an outstanding guide. If you do one thing in Vietnam, take this tour!
