Our boats start from Cat Ba island, which is more beautiful and more interesting than Ha Long city. We avoid the crowd, take you to wonderful areas that less touristy, you can enjoy nice landscapes, real natural, clear water, secluded beaches.

Our boats anchor at pocket lagoons for staying overnight.

Our local guides are all experienced and enthusiastic, and will help you to discover the bay and take care of you during the trip.

-We do a lot of different trips than other tour companies. It is well worth the money with nicer itineraries (more time kayaking, swimming each day), and we cruise further to amazing landscapes in less touristy areas. You also have more time on the boat, not like a 24 hours tour by other companies.

Join us, you will start the trip at 11.00 of Day 1 and finish at 15.00 of Day 2. What should be better?

-The trip can be flexibly changed due to customer's demands, the weather and the tide as well.

    We loved our overnight boat trip to Ha Long bay. The karsts were incredibly beautiful- it is so hard to describe unless you have been there. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and excellent food on the boat. Our experience was enhanced by our guide, Jack, who taught us about the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay, the fishing villages and Vietnam in general. I really learned a lot. Jack made sure that everyone was happy. This was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this tour!!!!!

  • Perfect Boat Trip with Cat Ba Ventures

    We had an absolutely incredible 2-day, 1-night private boat tour in Lan Ha Bay with Cat Ba Ventures – honestly one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the experience felt very personal and authentic. A huge shoutout to our guide, Cong, who was outstanding. His English was excellent, he explained everything in a really engaging way, and he always made sure we were comfortable and having a great time. You could tell he genuinely cared about making the trip special for us. Our captain, Vy, and his crew were also fantastic – super friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the whole journey. We always felt safe and well taken care of on the boat. The itinerary was just perfect: we visited Monkey Island, went kayaking through beautiful, quiet parts of Lan Ha Bay, and enjoyed breathtaking scenery the entire time. It never felt rushed, and having a private tour for our group of 7 made it even more relaxed and enjoyable. The food on board was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was just amazing – peaceful, fun, and memorable. If you’re considering exploring Lan Ha Bay, we can’t recommend Cat Ba Ventures enough. And if you can, ask for Cong and Captain Vy – they truly made this experience unforgettable!
