5.00We had the tour with Anh today and it was absolutely outstanding. The hike was exactly what we expected: pure nature and very varied. Anh is very knowledgeable, told us a lot and pointed out many little details that we would not have seen otherwise. We also had a great time after the hike. A solid 10 out of 10 points and a full recommendation 👌👌
Unforgettable Adventure with Mr. To Fu – Highly Recommended!

5.00I had an amazing experience on this tour led by Mr. To Fu, a truly exceptional guide. He was well-prepared, providing water and snacks for all participants, and showed angelic patience even when circumstances were challenging and some gear failed. His calm, caring attitude and genuine engagement made the entire journey feel safe and enjoyable. The itinerary was diverse and well-paced: we started with a visit to the national park’s flora and fauna exhibition, followed by a several-hour jungle trek covering over a dozen kilometers. Then came a scenic 5 km bike ride and a peaceful boat trip through Lan Ha Bay, including a one-hour break for kayaking. Nature, adventure, and relaxation—all perfectly balanced under the guidance of someone who clearly loves what he does.

The trip includes pick up and drop off to and from your hotel, hike in the national park (our guide Tofu prepared water and snacks for us 🥰), lunch (with vegetarian options 🤩), bike ride, boat ride and kayaking. All day experience, with every penny.

5.00Very nice excursion to the 1st Vietnamese National Park. The jungle is impressive. Linh is always in a good mood and friendly. Enjoyable lunch. Then bike, boat, kayak. Beautiful Halong Bay. Be careful it is not a small walk but a difficult hike. Put on good shoes, it slips.

5.00Magic day! Trekking in the national park offers beautiful scenery, incredible biodiversity. It is not a small Sunday walk, and precisely that which strengthens the immersion in the Vietnamese forest. Then a meal break ( very good and hearty ), with foot massage by fish 😁, before heading out into the bay to kayak and swim. All in a typical small boat far from floating tourist factories. What a day! Now for a trick to be magical you need a good conductor and Anh is. He was great throughout the day. Patient, funny and lavish with lots of information. He has his eye and will repeat all the little beasts like spiders, scolopander, crabs, snake, etc! Besides, he's a talented film director. He made a great montage of our day that will make an unforgettable memory. Frankly we recommend this tour if you are visiting Catba.
Beautiful day in the national park

5.00We went on a day hike in Cat Ba through the jungle with Anh. The hike was beautiful. We saw lots of animals that we didn't recognise. Anh showed us the way and pointed out the different animals to us. Anh also spoke very good English, which made communication easier. At the end, we had a very tasty meal and were taken back to Cat Ba by boat. The absolute highlight was that Anh, who is also a filmmaker, took videos during the hike and sent us a personalised video at the end. This allowed us to focus on the beauty of nature and soak up all the impressions during the entire hike. We highly recommend this tour with Anh!
Great day!
