5.00From Hanoi, we woke up early, around 5:30a to be picked up and shuttled over to Cat Ba. The journey was a bit long but not too bad. Once we arrived at the ferry, we were greeted by our guide, Tony. Tony was very knowledgeable and presented our itinerary very clearly. We had a nice kayak experience in the morning around 10:30a, a short walk, a short swim, and then lunch. Lunch was served around 12:30p and it was tasty and cooked fresh on board. After lunch, we took a nice 30 min nap on the top level of the boat and enjoyed the lovely scenery. We then arrived at the national park for a bike ride to a village where we experienced a fish massage and some local rice wine. Only complaint here is that the time was too short! We wrapped up the day with tea and fruit as the boat brought us back to the dock and dropped us off at our hotels. Despite the light on/off rain, Tony made sure we had a perfect day!
Perfect experience

5.00It was of the best experiences in Vietnam, it was complete in all senses. It was not a really good weather but we make an extra of visiting a village in middle of no where in the island of Cat Ba. One of the best experiences I could have , Tony is the MVP.

A Must-Do Tour in Vietnam

5.00The number of 5-star ratings might seem too good to be true, but I have to admit that this tour truly lives up to the hype—our expectations were exceeded by far. Transportation from Hanoi was smooth and hassle-free, and unlike other tours we’ve experienced, there were no unnecessary stops just to sell us souvenirs. The boat was exactly as shown in the pictures, and the lunch was outstanding. During the trip, we went kayaking and visited several small caves and beaches. As a group, we decided to shorten the planned two long stops for kayaking and swimming into one, allowing us to visit Cat Ba Island in the afternoon instead. This turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Cat Ba was the most beautiful place we visited in Vietnam—it truly felt like stepping into Jurassic Park. Overall, this was probably the best tour of our entire three-week trip. Cat Ba is amazing, not crowded at all, and the quality of the tour was excellent. For me, it’s a clear 10/10 and an absolute must-do on a future visit. Tony was a fantastic guide, always sharing interesting facts without talking too much. The focus was consistently on the activities and the natural surroundings, which he enriched with just the right amount of insightful information. Thanks Tony :)

5.00This tour was delightful from start to finish. Incredibly smooth transfers to and from Hanoi made the early morning much easier to manage. The lunch was delicious (I had the vegetarian option), the activities were beautiful and engaging, and the crew was lovely. Our tour guide Tony was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and energetic! He was fantastic from start to finish, including organizing a last minute itinerary change because of weather, which was actually a highlight of my trip. We took a bike ride through Ca Ba National Park to a local village where you could wander and see the town and farms, get a snack or get a fish massage. Tony also noticed I was solo traveling and made a point to take pictures of me during activities throughout the tour without any prompting, which I greatly appreciated! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and company - the cruise was genuinely “serene” and I’m so glad I picked Serenity Cruises. 10/10!
Perfect trip.

5.00Mr. Happy was a very good tour guide. He managed to show us the most beautiful corners far away from all the hustle and bustle. It felt like it was a private tour. You could enjoy nature in peace. The money was 100% worth it. The transport went well. The boat was in very good condition. The food was very good. The places were fantastic. A perfect day
