Flexible and less touristy kayak tour

Fun activity in Lan Ha Bay to avoid the typical tourist boats. There is still some tourism to see, but with moments we were really alone with the group. The guide Luke knew perfect English and knew an answer to all questions. Great! Lunch was good. The weather was taken into account, so we left a little later and could have the best experience.

Fantastic day on the kayak

Had a fantastic day with Luke! Lovely boat, away from the crowd, entered beautiful caves that are only accessible by kayak. Guide is doing great. 100% recommended!

Don’t book for kayaking through trip advisor

Don’t book this place for kayaking through trip advisor. I don’t think trip advisor notified them or they only prioritize the climbing. We booked day before on trip advisor and they didn’t show up and then once they called us they said they had a “tight timeline” so couldn’t do it. They did refund us which we were grateful for- but showed up at 8am for nothing at their offices. I’d recommend just going to their office day before to book so they know you’re coming.

Awesome!

It was great. Our guide spoke proper English and he’s a local from the floating village so he knows all the tips and tricks of the bay! The food on board was also yummy!

A day to remember at Lan Ha Bay

A wonderful day in the bay just me and the guide kayaking in an unique landscape - even most probably by the storm before there was a lot of trash in and at the water - Langurs adventures did a very good job-thank you folks

Hiking to Butterfly Valley and Lan Ha bay kayak

I really enjoyed my two full day tours with Langur Adventures doing both a hike to Butterfly Valley and a kayaking tour in mid-Summer. I hadn't kayaked before at sea. If you want something that's highly energetic - I was exhausted after both - I would strongly Langur's

Great trip

Fantastic tour! Our guide was great at pointing out different interests including wildlife and local traditions. We went on this tour in torrential rain and thunderstorms but was still one of the highlights of our trip!

Wonderful experience! Would 100% do it again!

AMAZING experience altogether! We had little time (only the first part of the day) for this, but Tim managed to show us the best there is out of Lan Ha Bay! My girlfriend and I were lucky to be the only ones on the Kayaking tour, so we could set the pace however we liked. Lan Ha Bay is a beautiful, uncrowded place with great scenery, floating villages and very interesting history! Lunch in the floating village was probably the best food we've had in Vietnam, so it's a must! Thanks Tim and Langur's Adventures for finding a way to accomodate our needs and for one of the most beautiful experiences we've had in Vietnam!
