Beautiful day touring the bay and kayaking

Cat Ba Eco Lodge organised a kayaking tour for us with this company. We had an amazing time, very efficient pickup and communication from the host, Ling, and the organiser Kien. We left around 8:30am from Cat Ba Eco Lodge, travelled out around Lan Ha Bay (the other name for Ha Long bay) to the kayaking area, with delicious 8-dish lunch on board and chilling out in the sea. All equipment was provided including life jackets, and Ling led the kayaking through to smaller beaches and inlets. We got back to the 4pm to the port. A memorable day - thank you!

Amazing day with fun guide!

We did a private tour with Mong and it was amazing! Got to see some beautiful secluded beaches, and the work out of the kayaking was rewarded with lots of lovely swims. Mong was lots fun and his English was excellent. We had a blast!
