    We had an amazing time with Cat Ba Green Trail Travel. The scenery was breathtaking, the organization perfect from start to finish and the lunch to fall and very hearty! We were also able to visit a floating village and its farms in grouper. Everything was perfect, I highly recommend!

    Top top top, really fantastically beautiful. Definitely recommended and a very nice guide. Plakton was very special to see, only this is hard to see on a normal phone camera, strangely enough.

    Really unique experience! A sunset ride with typical dinner right in front of the karst rocks! The bath with bioluminescent plankton is something you can hardly describe. Not to mention the enthusiasm of our Tiger guide .. fabulous!!

  • 5/5 Stars - Exceptional tour experience with Green Trail Travel

    Just completed the 2 day Lan Ha Bay cruise with plankton excursion through Green Trail Travel in Cat Ba and it was absolutely excellent! Our guide Thai (Tiger) was fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, motivated, and genuinely happy to be leading our tour, which created such positive energy that spread to everyone in the group. We visited Monkey Beach where we actually saw monkeys, experienced the beautiful plankton excursion, and stayed overnight at a floating homestay which was a truly unique experience. The kayaking through caves was awesome, and we had opportunities to swim at other beautiful beaches afterwards. What made this tour special was that nothing felt rushed like most tours do, and Thai took us to quiet, peaceful spots where we were the only tourists. Green Trail Travel delivered an outstanding experience that I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
