Hotel pick up was offered and I typed in my hotel, but no one showed to pick me up. I waited over an hour. They did not answer my messages on whatsapp or tripadvisor.

We had a lovely day with Anh. It started out with a beautiful 10km hike where Anh provided lots of water and much appreciated snacks. We then got a tasty lunch in the village before an afternoon of kayaking, swimming, and relaxing. Thank you for a great day Anh!

This was the perfect day tour for Cat Ba! Anh was an amazing guide, we started with the hike which was challenging but very manageable. Anh had some snacks for along the hike! The lunch in Viet Hai Village was delicious, and the bike ride was very beautiful! In the afternoon we kayaked, swam, and boated back as the sun was beginning to set. Overall a great day, and Anh made us an amazing video of the entire day so we can remember the experience!
