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.

Tom and the boat crew were great, they created a seamless experience for us. We spent a bit of time on the junk boat and swam in the sea before switching to the cruise for the night. We went Kayaking through caves, saw monkeys and enjoyed great food and the stunning nature views. Tom was a great guide, explaining everything, joking around and taking photos.

A very well organised trip. We have not seen al lot of boats. The food was very good and various and more than enough.

Had a great time with our guide Ben! Got to visit some more less travelled areas of the bay to see amazing lagoons and views. The accommodation was also great, nice bed and all the bathroom facilities you would need. Would recommend for anyone looking for a great trip!

The trip was well organized and the staff of "catba adventures" was very attentive (Thank you again for helping me with the wallet :) ). We were 2 days in the middle of the natural park, away from the majority of other tourist groups. We paddled with our kayaks through small holes into hidden lagoons and also visited some beaches. We also saw a monkey climbing, it was a great experience! The food was good, and the room was big and comfortable, with our own bathroom (the big window was on the bed side was perfect for watching the landscape) And our guide was also very attentive and informative during the 2 days (thank you Ben), giving us a lot of explanations about the surroundings, farmers, animals, etc. For me the landscape in general and kayaking away from the crowded areas were the highlights in this trip, and I would recommend it 100%.

I absolutely loved the tour. The sights were incredible, especially the sunset and sunrise on the deck. I cannot compare them to a more classic Halong Bay tour, since I haven't done one, but the nature we saw was gorgeous and looked untouched. The swimming and kayaking was very enjoyable, we also didn't see many other boats. It felt private and unique. The food was tasty and abundant, and the guide Danny was amazing, very attentive and knowledgeable, responding to every question and giving us context for everything we saw. The rooms were also nice and spacious. As a solo traveler, I shared a room with another traveler (you can pay an additional fee for a private room as a solo traveler). As some comments noted, there are a few transfers on the tour, but they are all really well organized. All in all, I would reccommend it to all lovers of beautiful nature who don't want to get stuck on a gigantic boat with a large group.
