Highlight of the Vietnam trip! - The whole tour was well planned, the activities were just great and we were sad when we had to leave the ship. Our guide Hang was so great, he made the tour the highlight of our vacation!!! We were in remote places where the big ships can't even get to, the kayaking was so impressive and the fishing in the evening was also really great. I can only recommend the tour (especially with Hang) to everyone.

Perfect trip, nice guides - The tour was fantastic! We had a really nice trip. It was a lot of fun. The two guides Jack and Windy were particularly excellent. They spoke very good English and gave us lots of exciting information about the country and Halong Bay. We would book the tour again at any time. We particularly liked the fact that we were in places in Halong Bay that were less touristy but still beautiful.

Beautiful / fun / informative / well organized 2D 1N Lan Ha and Halong Bay Trip - The 2D 1N boat tour was one of the highlights of our time in Vietnam. The trip was very well organized. The scenery was breathtaking, kayaking in beautiful lagoons without tourists was sooo peaceful and fun. Our guide, Tony, was excellent!! He's sooo knowledgeable, friendly, honest and fun. He told us stories which allowed us to understand Vietnamise culture and history easily in a way we will remember. We highly recommend Tony and Cát Bà Ventures.

Absolutely recommended!! - Today we returned from the 2-day boat trip. Tony was our guide who showed us many beautiful places in Ha Long Bay with his enthusiasm and energy. Because the boat was luxurious, we had a relaxed trip. The Kayak trips made it active. It was a nice balance. Finally, the food was excellent. We would definitely recommend it, we really enjoyed it.

Spectacular views and food - Everything was organised smoothly and the tour exceeded our expectations. We had a great tour under guidance of our excellent tour guide Tony. He took us to amazing untouristic spots, was funny, and gave good insights on places we visited and Vietnam history.

Simply a great experience! - The perfect choice for anyone who doesn't want a mass-produced Halong Bay tour. Our tour guides Ben & Viet were great, with lots of information, funny and relaxed. We hardly saw any other boats on our tour and were completely alone with the kayaks (low season). Would book with Cat Ba Ventures again in a heartbeat!

Ben and Viet best tour guides! - Absolutely loved every moment of our adventure with Cat Ba. Even at the start, when it was thundering, lightning, and raining - Ben and Viet kept the experience fun and the scenery was incredible. Food was great and company was very fun. We did swimming, kayaking, and all around had a wonderful time. Got lucky and saw Cat Ba langurs, mushroom jellyfish, macaques, and caught some squid at night off the boat. Room was spacious, bed comfortable, AC worked great (essential). Hot water also available in morning and after swims. All around a wonderful tour. Wish I went longer!

Unforgettable Experience - My two-day tour exploring Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay was an absolute delight. One aspect that could be improved, however, is the condition of the boat. One of the highlights of this tour was the wealth of knowledge Tony shared with us about Vietnam, its culture and the local way of life. His insights added a deeper level of appreciation to the stunning landscapes we encountered along the way. The itinerary was perfectly put together to showcase the beauty of Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay while avoiding the crowds. The kayaking excursion was definitely a highlight and allowed us to explore hidden lagoons, caves and tunnels off the beaten track. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience.
