  Ha was a great tour guide, professional, warm, earnest. Food was surprisingly great (I had low expectations for a buffet). The cruise ship had great internet, which was a godsend because I had an urgent family matter during the cruise.

• Highly recommend for couples

  We had an absolutely incredible day on the Serenity Cruise through Lan Ha Bay – easily the highlight of our Vietnam trip. Our guide, Cong Hua (aka “Happy”), truly lived up to his name. He was energetic, positive, and had such an infectious personality that made the whole day even better. The day started cruising through the stunning karst landscapes (those limestone cliffs are unreal), followed by kayaking around the bay which was a lot of fun. We also explored a small island, then had the chance to swim and jump off the boat – such a great experience. Lunch on board was excellent, with plenty of food and great attention to dietary requirements and allergies. After maybe one too many coffees, we jumped on a bicycle ride through Viet Hai village, which was a really cool way to see local life. The fish foot massage was a funny and memorable bonus! We finished the day cruising back with fresh fruit and tea, which was the perfect way to wind down. Everything was super well organised, including hotel pickup from Cat Ba and drop-off back in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Highly recommend this tour – it covers so much in one day and is an unforgettable way to experience Lan Ha Bay!

  From 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

  It 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.

  It was an amazing experience, I would say one of the best of my trip to Vietnam. The guide is called Cong Hau, a very nice and funny boy. This excision is worth it, I recommend it 100%

• A Must-Do Tour in Vietnam

  The 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 :)
