New experience! - What an unforgettable night of kayaking! The bioluminescent algae lit up the water with every paddle stroke, creating a magical glow around us. Our guide was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home, while the meals were delicious and added to the whole experience. Night kayaking is truly something special, and if you're in the area, I highly recommend booking a trip with them for an adventure you won't forget!

5 stars for our guide Chilly - Chilly is an exceptional guide who has been nothing but helpful to us. He is very nice and thoughtful and even personally checked on us when we were waiting for our hotel pickup at the pier after the tour to make sure we got back to hotel safely. He deserves all the praise for his professionalism.

A perfect tour with Beka Travel - I contacted Beka Travel to book a group tour 10 people, and they were quick to respond and very professional. Even when we added two more people last minute, it was no problem. The focus of the tour was to see the bioluminescent plankton, and it didn’t disappoint. We kayaked to a barbecue site, and the guides were super friendly, sharing details about the area. The evening was the highlight—kayaking and swimming among the glowing plankton was magical. My mom, who’s not a strong swimmer, even gave it a try. The food was fantastic, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Beka Travel!

An unforgettable visit with Tin - Tin made us live an incredible vistie! He was incredibly friendly and knew the area well, sharing fascinating information throughout the trip. He took us to places where bioluminescence was most intense, and swimming in these sparkling waters was an experience I never imagined. It was really unforgettable, something I hadn't even thought about before!

Magical experience - This was the bets activity we ever did on Cat Ba Island! It was so much fun, and the water wasn’t too cold which made it even more perfect. I highly recommend it—don’t miss the chance to see the bioluminescent creatures that light up underwater when touched. It was magical! Oh my gosh, we had so much fun!

A unique and unforgettable experience - It was a unique and amazing experience! The phenomenon of bioluminescence is activated with the movement of the hand or an oar, and swimming between them was the most impressive part of the journey. The Guide was friendly and the food we were served was delicious. Overall, it was a memorable experience that I highly recommend.

An amazing experience! - It was really amazing; I was incredibly impressed by the luminescent plankton! It was definitely my best experience on Cat Ba Island. I enjoyed a fantastic day boat trip, and they arranged a convenient pick up at the boat to take me to the barbecue area. The food was always hot and delicious, perfectly adapted to the weather. I would give this experience a solid Rating of 10/10! I highly recommend it to anyone who comes to visit!
