Excellent hike through the Cat Ba National Park to a peak that offered a great view. The tour guide Viet was fantastic and provided a lot of information on the environment and nearby caves.

Our tour guide was fantastic. Friendly, helpful with our climbing (used a laser to point out the next hold), gave my forearms a massage when I was getting tired (#tourguideanddoctor), took a lot of good pictures/videos which he airdropped to us at the end, and took us to a special island to relax when we were done climbing. If you like rock climbing, this was a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend. Beyond the climbing, the Halong Bay islands are gorgeous.
Great climbing trip!

We had an amazing time on this trip! Ninh, our guide was great and very informative about both the area and the country as a whole. There are plenty of options of rocks that they can take you to for different difficulty levels and also the option of doing some kayaking if you are feeling tired. Overall a great day out and would 100% recommend

We did an amazing half day deep water soloing trip! We went to a couple different locations to climb, there was a variety of grades so we all got to do something that was challenging, it was really a unique experience that I would do again. Our guide, Ninh, was really knowledgeable and would recommend him and the tour company to anybody! I think this was the highlight of our trip!
Great first time outdoor climbing experience

We did the half day tour twice due to a tight schedule, and we loved both. Guide Ninh on day 1 was delightful and fun, and took us to good beginner spots despite the low tide that day. He even made a video of the day that he sent us very quickly. Guide Caí on day 2 was clearly an experienced climber who showed us the harder spots. Booking process was easy and the company was very accommodating. We felt safe. Would recommend

My partner and I had an amazing time on the half day deep water solo tour! Our guide Ninh was great, he told us lots of information about the area on our boat ride and was super helpful finding us climbing routes and pointing us in the right direction with his laser pointer. The climbs were definitely trickier to start during low tide, but we all had fun giving them a go! It was one of the pricier option for a climbing tour, but definitely high quality. Thanks Ninh!
Perfect climbing with Ninh

The tour was incredible. We took the boat to many small islands and were able to do a lot of climbing. Our guide Ninh explained everything to us, described the routes perfectly and adapted them to our individual abilities. We had a lot of fun and would do the tour again and again. Ninh was very nice, a perfect guide. At the end we also received a unique and beautiful video.
