Cat Ba National Park cruises

Highly recommend this tour! We were going to do Ha Long Bay but reading how touristy and busy it is put us off. On this tour, we mostly had the waters and bay to ourselves and it was stunning. Our tour guides were great fun - Charlie and Tony 😄I’d choose Lan Ha Bay every day.

The transfer picked us up right in front of our hotel. The ship was very clean. All the staff were friendly. Tony, the main guide was very informative, spoke English well and humourous. He participated in all the activities with us, so we knew where to go. There was an unexpected, but fun, biking activity through a local village. One lady had trouble biking, so the guide even biked for her while she sat behind! We didn’t visit a beach, but instead swam in the middle of the water. It was so fun! They had an inflatable netted “pool” for those who are too young or afraid to swim in open waters. The ship also had a slide to slide into the water! My party had 8 ppl, including adults and kids as young as 9. This excursion was great for ppl of all abilities. If you did not want to participate in an activity, you could stay on board, or instead of biking, there were EV’s. The entire excursion was very well organized. Tables on the ship were already pre-assigned so you have your dedicated space for lunch and belongings. There was a variety of food for buffet lunch and tasted pretty good. on the way back there were fruit platters and mini cupcakes for snack. This route is a lot more peaceful with fewer boats than the other Ha Long Bay routes. Beautiful!! I highly recommend this trip!

Luxury in budget It was a phenomenal experience for full family 1. Food- The biggest surprise was the indian food on the deck for my family. Blessinng for the vegetarians, being from India. Dal chawal pakode roti and what not 2. Hospitality- just wonderful people- Nick our manager was awesome Tom cruise was amazing guide Peter a wonderful host 3. Rooms- what a luxury 4. Activities- could have been little better, but never mind 5. Kayaking was also good

Had an amazing time on this cruise. Didn’t go into it expecting much and with every activity things got better and better. The food was great, and the staff were super friendly and kind. Felt like such luxury after 3 weeks in hostels. Also was not super touristy which we appreciated :) Would recommend to anyone.

I think this trip of 3 days and 2 nights is a group trip, but I personally feel that the CP value is very high. It only costs less than 6,000 yuan including food and lodging, but there are some small episodes in the middle. You still need to confirm before taking the car. You don’t need to pay extra, because you are carpooling everywhere, and you may be picked up by the person you meet for the first time. It is recommended to confirm whether it is included in the travel cost before getting on the car, especially the car.

really great day tour to lan ha bay! due to the typhoon we got to take the cable car for no extra, the boat was lovely with amazing views and a nice buffet lunch with lots of choice! Binh/Billy our tour guide spoke great english, organised the day really well and was very informative! we stopped in viet ha for cycling and kayaking. Would definitely recommend!!

Best part of this trip was the room. Simply amazing! Spacious with a bath tub and a standing shower. The selection of food was diverse and everything tasted great. The itinerary was just ok but nothing beats the views you see on this trip. Breathtaking 😍 The staff was friendly, patient and accommodating. Will definitely recommend to others.

At first, I had doubts about this tour - the transfer bus was a bit dated and not fully comfortable. However, once we arrived, it all went smoothly - the transfer via a boat to the bigger boat, the tour, the guide, the location, the food, the activities. The weather was misty and rather cold but it was still a great experience (I skipped on swimming but kayaking was really good). Make sure to have warm clothes, and the rest will be taken care of. The location especially was enjoyable: less tourists, clear water. It was actually possible t enjoy the nature. Definitely a recommendation!
