Meh

The tour was fine. Nothing exceptional. Massive tour with very little personality. The dinner on board wasn’t nice at all. If you’re vegan, you’ll eat nothing.

Amazing!

Such a special evening. Thanks so much to our guide Tilo and his lovely team. Everything was perfect. The boat was comfortable and they had everything we could need. Including a fab dinner. We spent some time on monkey island and then sunset and dinner. And Tilo then took us kayaking to see the phosphorescent plankton. Jumping it to swim was magical. Back on board for ice tea, tunes and a stunning ride back among the cliffs. Our trip was arranged through Beka travel. Beka have gone above and beyond for us on this 3 week trip to Vietnam. 🙏

One of the best experiences in Vietnam

This boat trip was incredible and one of the highlights of my trip to Vietnam! The guides were all so lovely and informative, the bbq food was amazing especially the fresh clams straight from the water. We kayaked around Lan Ha Bay before and after dark. Both were very fun, but after dark was magical seeing the plankton. Really amazing trip thank you!

Such a fun experience! Tom was a great guide, had a lot of information about the people of Cat Ba and spoke English very well! We got to see the floating villages and some monkeys, Tom cooked dinner for us and the kayaking was awesome! Would recommend

Fascinating & Wonderful experience

Entire trip was very well planned and organised. Our pick up was smooth and the barbecue at the small private island was really amazing. The kayak experience to see the planktons was just surreal and they were white like stars in the sky 🌌 , Must do. Special thanks to our trip guide Tom (Tú) , who made the trip very easy and comfortable for us.

Unforgettable Moment at Lan Ha Bay

It was a great experience kayaking thru the big ocean. The dinner at the beach away from the noisy sounds and the bright lights gave a feeling of tranquility. First time kayaking in the middle of the dark waters was rewarding. Though Planktons were not as many as expected, it was satisfying seeing some of them. Thanks to our friendly tour guide, Tyler, who was very accommodating and attentive to our needs.
