5.00This was incredible! No crowds as promised and our guide, Hang, was absolutely lovely (knowledgeable, fun, and so caring—he truly went above and beyond for each of us). The first swim spot in particular was like something out of a dream—everyone in our group was just full of excitement and wonder. Highly, highly recommend if you find yourself in Cat Ba! You'll be especially lucky if you score Hang as your guide.
