We had the best day at this tour with our guide Hana. She and the rest of the crew were amazing: friendly and very helpful with everything. Hana was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and we especially appreciated her knowledge about the nature and history of the place. She made us feel so welcome! The boat was very spacious, clean and with a nice atmosphere. We were quite a small group of around 15 people, which was very nice.

Guides Hana and Joy accompanied us through the activities of the whole day explaining the nature and history of the bay with much competence and sympathy. Available to our every need, they were two truly exceptional guides. The activities of the tour are varied and very fun: from kayaking to cooking class and everything is impeccably organized. Highly recommended for those who want to spend a day among the beauties of Lan Ha Bay.
Best day out!
