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.

5.00EN beautiful and fun trip through an insanely beautiful piece of nature. DE cruise takes you to DE quiet spots, so you can often enjoy the area in peace (with no or only a few other boats). DE group consisted of 14 people, so also on board it is a small but nice group. DE kayak trip EN give you an even better view of this area and because you get so close even better insight into how big DE rocks EN and islands are. Our smiling guide Tonny gave tijdens DE trip a lot of information about the area, the EN brands and life in Vietnam. With beautiful EN open stories this made DE trip even more fun.
Wonderful experience!

5.00Súper happy two days! With a small group you leave in Cat Ba and take a non-tourist route (= quiet, away from big boats). The most friendly guide will take you to beautiful spots and knows where to check monkeys, jellyfish and bats. The food on the boat was also very tasty! Highly recommended:))
