We did the day tour from Cat Ba island and it was an awesome experience! Our guide was very informative and attentive, and included various activities for us to do! The landscapes and the scenery were amazing! I highly recommend this tour.

We had a really lovely time on a three day two night tour of Lan Ha Bay in early August. The staff was very friendly and attentive, our host guide B was energetic, we particularly liked kayaking in places where there were few other tourists. And our night with only five guests on the boat was particularly awesome.

Very Nice discovery of Cat Ba Island with Seek Sophie ! The hiking was amazing although quite difficult with the weather. Also kayaking with bioluminescense fishes was beautiful. Thank you !

The answer will depend on your preference on travel style. If you are looking for a more chilled out and low key experience on a traditional junk boat, Cat Ba may be the right place for you.
