  We really enjoyed our two night three day Cat Ba adventure. The hosts, Guides, and accommodations were excellent. As well the food was first rate. We biked, swam, kayaked, hiked, saw a fish farm, and paddled through rock tunnels. Our activity guides were really interesting and informative and fun when we ventured out. I learned a lot about the area and culture. As well the area is beautiful. Some of the activities require a certain level of fitness to ensure you’re able to fully enjoy your self. For example the hike is a bit difficult but definitely a rewarding challenge. We also really enjoyed meeting other guests on the boat. There are some great people out there. Lots of fun.

  

  

  

  

  

• Amazing Experience in Cat Ba

  We booked a trip for 2 nights and 3 days and it was one of the most amazing experiences we’ve had so far in Vietnam!! What an amazing company “Cat Ba Ventures” is. Everything, from the pickup in Hanoi, to the trip itself and everything included, was just amazing. On our first day we stayed with a guide called “Ben”. What an amazing person he is. He knows so much about the country and shared so many interesting things with us. He also has such a positive vibe and made the whole first day even more special. Because we were the only ones who booked 2N 3D on our boat, after the first day, full of beautiful experiences, we got picked up the next day after breakfast by a different guide from Cat Ba Ventures called “Viet”! He had planned a trip to a nearby town called “Viet Hai” and it was incredible! We had a whole day with a private tour guide who showed us around by bicycle. He even showed us hidden spots we would have never seen without him! It was such an incredible experience!!! Viet was also such a positive guy who taught us a lot about the country, heritage and so on!! After our private tour with Viet, we got transported back to the boat, where we met new people because the group we had spent time with on our first day had already left the boat. Then we also met our last guide called Hang. Wow, so much energy and such positive vibes as well. I very quickly realised it’s the company and the crew themselves — they hire people you immediately love! Every tour guide had his own jokes, tricks etc. that they were willing to share! To come to an end: I highly recommend “Cat Ba Ventures” for a tour in Cat Ba! For me, it was one of the best organized tours I have ever had! From transport, to food, to vibes, to views, to guides etc. If I ever come to Vietnam again, I would probably book 2 nights and 3 days again.

• Unforgettable days in Cat Ba

  Incredible trip in Cat Ba, thanks to the agency - We had chosen the option 2N/3T and never regretted a second. 1. the agency really takes care to drive to the quiet spots and so we were almost always alone in the area. These were indescribable experiences and we could see such great places that were really still deserted and completely quiet. 2. the food and rooms were really very good, had absolutely nothing to complain about 3. since we booked the longer version, we had a hike in viet Hai the second day. That was a DREAM. Since we were the only ones, we had a guide just for us and it was absolutely perfect. 3. our guides were a DREAM. Bill, Viet and Hang. All 3 had a very humorous manner and also a very great knowledge. We were really amazed how much you know about the region but also about Vietnam as a whole. We were very grateful to have such great guides, which made the trip even more indescribable. THANK YOU to you! The days in Cat Ba were a 12/10 and thank you very much for the experience!

• 2n/3d private tour

  We 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

  We 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

  We 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)

  We 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.

  First 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.
