Mobile ticket
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.

5.00Just came back from the 2 Day Cruise and can't recommend it more! Great itinerary and everything was super clean, well organized and good food options as well. Best part was our tour guide Ben, who made the trip even more special. He has so much knowledge and is also very fun. You will be lucky if he is your guide :)
