Fabulous experience, we loved the tour . We went to Lan Ha bay which is quieter than Halong and not as touristy , with the same landscape. Kayaking, you could have 2 hours but not compulsory, we stayed out about an hour. It was so quiet and magical . The boat only had 4 cabins there were 6 of us in total. The food was excellent and so much of it . We kept our bedroom curtains open just to see the beauty of the place . Staff were polite and helpful . The next day we went cycling (or electric car ) in Cat ba the scenery is stunning. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough from booking to the tour itself

We booked directly with Vietnam Insider Travel. Inexplicably, they are even in the Lonley Planet. The trip we then took was with sunlight cruise. They didn't even know Vietnam Insider Travel. We didn't do what was described. We had a terrible room with a small porthole and a window at the back behind the bed. We couldn't open it because it was directly above the ship's engine with its exhaust fumes. The food was terrible. A waste of time and money.

The 2 days and 1 night cruise package was the perfect way to explore the stunning beauty of Lan Ha Bay and its picturesque surroundings. The staff at Vietnam Insider Travel were extremely professional and made sure that every aspect of the tour was taken care of, leaving me free to soak in the beauty of the place.Words cannot do justice to the unique experiences I had on this tour, from watching the sunrise over the bay to swimming in the crystal-clear waters. It was truly a dream come true.

From the moment we arrived at the island, the breathtaking scenery took my breath away. The nature trails we hiked on were like something out of a fairytale - lush green forests, crystal clear streams, and hidden waterfalls. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The highlight of the trip was watching the sunset from the top of Cannon Fort, an experience I will never forget. And I have to mention the excellent service provided by Vietnam Insider Travel - every aspect of the tour was well-organized and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Vietnam Insider Travel for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Cat Ba Island and have an unforgettable adventure.

The boat was luxurious and the views were breathtaking. The activities were fun and exciting, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend Vietnam Insider Travel to anyone looking for an exotic and unforgettable experience. You won't be disappointed!
