2n/3d private tour

5.00We did a private 2n/3d tour on the Dai Duong 06 junk and it was fabulous. Our guide, Windy, was very kind and helpful to our two sons and it was such a special experience. We did lots of kayaking, swimming, deep water soloing (our elder son climbs), visited hidden lagoons and the bat cave and saw the highly endangered Cat Ba langurs twice! We also climbed to Navy Peak, cycled to Viet Hai, visited a fish farm, did some squid fishing and saw the bioluminescence in the water, visited a small beach and had some of the most amazing food we’ve eaten since arriving. The food was a very pleasant surprise as we didn’t really expect much and it was phenomenal. Thank you very much Cat Ba Ventures and all of the staff we encountered.
Luxury experience in Lan Ha Bay

5.00We just had a great experience in Lan Ha Bay where we rented and slept on a private boat for 24 hours. We have paddled, bathed, enjoyed many hours on the sun deck and enjoyed the private chef's food in the cabin. On our way back we visited the fishermen's village and went through a cave. Lunch at Cat Bas hotel was luxurious and plentiful. In addition, pickup service in Hanoi worked perfectly and now we are going by bus to Nigh Binh
Great multi-day tour in Lan Ha Bay

5.00We took a 3-day tour of Lan Ha Bay with Cat Ba Ventures. The tour and excursions were well organized. We were alone at almost all excursion destinations (as promised by the tour operator) and so could enjoy the experiences very much. During the three days we had several guides who all spoke very good English and informed us about the localities as well as about Vietnamese culture and habits. Thanks to Ninh, Ben and Tony!
Best guide ever (Ninh)

5.00We booked a 3 day / 2 night trip to mainly deep water solo and do other activities. Our crew was amazing, especially our guide Ninh. Knowledgeable, friendly, and up for anything we wanted to do. I also have to give a shoutout to the cook. Our meals were INCREDIBLE.
Highly recommended

5.00First time in a lifetime to be able to conquer the mountain and the sea. Mr. Tung and his team Mr. Tuân, Mr. Hien, and Mr. Hang are wonderful tour guides. Couldn’t ask for anything better. 10 stars for Cat Ba Ventures.
Overall good!

4.00Overall, we had a great experience with Cat Ba Ventures. The crew were excellent, and our guide, Ninh, was particularly fantastic. On the first night he helped us go squid fishing and shared some wonderful stories about the area and his previous experiences, which really added to the trip. He truly is an asset to your team and made the experience even more memorable. The three days two nights was definitely worth it. Our only criticism is the showers need renovations, it’s not matching the other great elements of the trip. The showers are so bad they let down the rest of the trip, fix them and make them modern and functional this will be a huge improvement. The other thing is there could be a really nice angle for the business to become more ecologically conscious by letting the tourists clean up the rubbish when they go kayaking, make this part of the trip. It makes us feel good and protects your beautiful surroundings for others to enjoy too.
Beautiful views, great good, and fun activities in Ha Long and La Han Bay

5.00From first connection, all was great! Arrangements were easy. They picked us up at our home stay on Cat Ba, brought us to the delightful boat that felt “very authentic” but was comfortable. It is an old boat which might be described as “held together by paint” so don’t expect some glitzy, luxe experience. It all added to the charm. Lunch was fantastic; the chef prepared every meal, each of which had multiple courses, with care in his impossibly tiny kitchen. Food was definitely a highlight of this trip, as nearly everywhere in Vietnam. Our guide, Ninh, was a great facilitator of understanding of the area. And politics, economy, culture of Vietnam. We kayaked, swam, cycled, explored remote caves and beaches, saw skies full of stars. We hiked up to the top of Navy Peak: tough but totally worthwhile. Fished for squid, which we then ate. Beds were comfortable and rooms were cozy. We were two couples, in our sixties, had lots of laughs, really enjoyed our time. Book with these guys if you have a taste for something cool. You won’t regret it!

4.00It was a very well organised tour. The activities we did were great, especially the hike to the peak. The view was amazing. The boat was a little bit outdated and could do with a refit. The food on the boat was decent, but nothing special. We had 3 different guides during our tour (Ben, Jack and Tony), all of whom were very nice and spoke good English.
