Great experience with Ninh as guide - Great experience! We loved the kayaking, the swimming, and the views. Great food and nice cabins. Ninh was a great guide, and his English was good. We were very happy that it wasn’t too touristy and would recommend it anytime!

Beautiful days on the water - We had a great time in Lan Ha and Ha Long bays with Hang as our tour guide. We kayaked in beautiful lagoons and caves and swam at secluded beaches. Hang provided lots of great regional information and entertainment. I was wary of booking the trip because I expected crowds of tourists, but this was one of my favorite parts of our trip to Vietnam!

1N2D LAN Ha Bay Tour Review - I highly recommend choosing Cat Ba Ventures for everyone that wants to do the Ha Long Bay cruise tour but want to avoid the big crowds. The tour itself was very well paced with activities such as kayaking and we also got plenty of free time for swimming and relaxing. Not only was the tour itself amazing, but our tour guide Ninh made everything 100 times better. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and took his time to engage with everyone in our small tour group. He knew a lot about Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay and it was very nice how he explained our itinerary and schedule along the way. Our entire group loved him and I highly recommend the company and tour guide Ninh!

Experience to recommend - Great tour with super nice guide Ninh, who knew very well and could tell us a lot. The boat was super equipped, the food was divided especially into vegetarian and non-vegetarian and it was a great selection! We would definitely recommend this tour.

One Highlight of 2 1/2 Weeks in Vietnam - We recently went on a 2-day, 1-night boat tour, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. The entire trip was well-organized, relaxing, and full of amazing activities, but the kayaking was definitely the highlight. It was incredibly fun, and the feeling of paddling through such calm and stunning surroundings was just unreal. The scenery throughout the tour was absolutely breathtaking. From the crystal-clear water to the towering limestone cliffs and peaceful bays, every moment looked like a postcard. A special mention goes to our tour guide, Ben. He was truly fantastic friendly, talkative, and always happy to share interesting information about the area, nature, and local culture. He made everyone feel welcome and created a great atmosphere on board. If you’re considering doing this tour, do it. It’s worth every minute. Highly recommended!
