We came over to finally discover deep water solo and we met another group of 2 who brought us to 2 beautiful locations from cat ba Island. Our guide Govan and the team immediately instilled a super friendly and relaxed atmosphere and gave us the instructions on how to get onto the rocks. He selected the right routes for our level of climbing and gradually gave us more challenge. Jumping off the cliffs was fun and we overall had an amazing experience! Good lunch on the floating village and the boat trip back to cat ba ended our tour <3
The best thing to do in Vietnam

I did the half day DWS. It was incredible, combining a fun, challenging and adrenaline filled activity with incredible views of lan ha bay. I can’t imagine a better way to experience this part of the world. Our guide Toan made the activity - he was super fun and friendly - ask for him if you come! It has made me want to take up climbing as a hobby and do more DWS in other parts of the world. Langur’s also helped me get to Hanoi on time for my train after I initially missed my bus. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
The best thing to do in Cat Ba by far!

Our guide was really nice, and a real pro climber (8a/V11), so he could helped us a lot. One of us was climbing for the second time in her life, I am on a V7 level, both of us really enjoyed it. There are tons of problems of multiple styles and difficulties, so everyone can pick theirs, we even got a boat for just of us 2, so we had the time to enjoy the view, rest, talk, swim. Definitely the highlight of our stay in Cat Ba!
Super experience

We were a group of 6 from different levels. Super happy with our guide made it very easy and tried to indicate a way for each according to our level. It was a lot of fun. They give you cat's feet. Having the boat waiting for you nearby is a luxury as it is a very intense activity. I would repeat a thousand more times!!! Thanks for the patience

Amazing day!!! Morning psicoblock (deep water solo) in the beautiful of La Han!! Breathtaking landscape, unique experience for the whole family, top organization that adapts to all levels. Delicious meals. Followed by an afternoon kayak!

It was very fun and my guide, Edcel was great. The free lunch was also very good. I would highly recommend. Should add that it is probably better if you have some climbing experience prior.
Unique experience!

We booked this not really knowing what to expect but it exceeded our expectations! Our South African guide (Covan) was fantastic , as we were beginners he gave us lots of tips and encouragement ,also used a laser pen to point out areas on the rock to move towards which helped a lot. A lot of people pay big money to do the day cruises to see ha long bay but I think this is an even better way to appreciate the natural beauty of the area! And have so much fun whilst seeing it! Thanks guys!
