Everything worked just fine, the instructor Kai was exceptional, explained everything and it was just perfect !!
The guide was very good during this trip. He was friendly, informative and we saw a lot of sights!
Kai is a great guide. He has a lot of general knowledge and he is really good at expressing and communicating.
We had such a great time doing this tour!! Everything was so easy for us as a big group. We were collected from our hotel and met our tour guide Kai, who was great. All the activities we did were so much fun and our lunch was delicious. It was such good value for money, I would definitely recommend this tour someone who wants a quieter tour that goes through less explored areas!!
I did this tour yesterday with my family and it was amazing. All the activities where fun and our tour guide Kai was excellent always giving us stories or general information. The tour lastet approximately 8 hours and it was fun from beginning to the end. Overall I would definitely recommend it for anybody who wants to explore the place and have a fun day and for the price that it is it’s worth every penny.
Super good trip full of variety.
We went on this tour yesterday and everything worked out great. We had a fantastic time. The guide was faboluous (he was really nice and he explained everything very well) and the rest of the crew too. The food was good and very abundant. The tour followed the schedulle and the stops and activities were well organized, interesting and fun. The tour tries to avoid crowded places and it’s nice to be in a smaller boat with less people (we were 17 passengers). The Lan Ha Bay is stunning! Highly recommended
Doing this tour was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Pickup was easy, the boat was comfortable and it felt like we were taken away from a lot of the other tourist places. Getting to see fish farms, kayak in lagoons, swim, have a delicious lunch and cycle through the countryside felt like I was in a dream. We also had a great group and made some friends on the boat who I will now travel with after. I cannot recommend this one enough. Cai was also an amazing guide and was very helpful. Full stars for these guys, incredible.
Amazing day in the bay, everything was paced really well and the activities were great. Kai is a great guide, was very dedicated to making the day perfect and gave many interesting explanations about the bay and the local people along the way. The food was really good and there were many vegan/vegetarian options which was great for us. Excellent value for money, I would definitely recommend. ❤️
Hoom was the great guide and really awesome human being. We went through the untouched part of cat ba. It was like our own swimming pool. Awesome vibe with delicious food.
