5.00Haha was such a lovely guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, animals, and islands. The food on board was very nice and filling with options for those with dietary needs. I felt well explored afterwards but not rushed at any point. All staff on board were lovely and very helpful. Pick up from hostel was prompt and easy

5.00A wonderful excursion in the bay. It starts with a luxurious bus, then a pick-up by our guide Hana who shared his knowledge in a very pedagogical way. The meal was good, and activities like kayaking, swimming and fishing village unforgettable!! Do it again!
Great day with Hana

5.00A great day out which we would highly recommend. Quieter waters than Halong Bay but scenery just as stunning. Packed in lots whilst still being very relaxing. Hama was a fantastic guide, sharing her knowledge with authority and humour. Everything from pick-up through to drop off at our hotel was well organised.

5.00This tour was a very nice day, well organised and sorted out pick up and drop off back to hotel. Hana was an amazing tour guide, she has a wealth of knowledge about the local area and shared lots of useful information not only about the landscape but also the animals and fish. We were given plenty of time to swim and kayak. Lunch was nice and cooking class was very good. I can recommend this tour. Thanks Hana!

5.00This was an amazing hike and the guide Ba was a local who knew the area very well! He was an excellent guide and very prepared and helpful. We were in a small group of only 3 and there was no one else on the longer 12km route we took. After finishing the hike the boat ride back through Lan Ha bay was amazing on the small boat we took. We stopped to swim and there was no one else on the beach and area we went swimming. I would highly recommend this tour but make sure to bring LOTS of water, especially in summer. I had over 3L of water but with the heat I ran out by the end of the hike. Also make sure to bring bug spray. Ba provided bug spray but it is best to have your own.
