I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Chans for this amazing day! 🤗 Thanks to him, I had one of my best travel adventures in Vietnam! If you want a real local adventure in Cat Ba, you should totally book this toor with Chans 🤗 The places we went were WOW. Calm, full of nature, and far away from big crowds… exactly what I wished for. I 100% recommend this super fun experience.

Fantastic small tour. Just the right pace and mix of activity and rest. Guide was really informative and so helpful with everything

Chan is a very nice guide and takes good care of the group. He adjusted the schedule according to the tide, but we saw some beautiful areas where it was only us and noone else. Also we had seafood hotpot (since it was winter in vietnam) at the end which was very tasty and warming.

Very authentic experience. Chans has a great depth of experience and knowledge about the area, after growing up kayaking and fishing alongside the local fisherman. We kayaked through hidden lagoons only accessible by cave, where no other tourists were. We dug for saltwater muscles, collected oysters and tried our hand at fishing (no bites today). We prepared the muscles on our campfire on a secluded bay as the sun set and Chans (luckily) had bought some home cooked rice, pork and spring rolls so we didn’t go hungry. We kayaked after the sun went down through bioluminescent plankton and returned to cai beo village for a pot of tea with the local fisherman. Before we set off for home we stopped in at a local restaurant on the pier and sampled sashimi and oysters washed down by a few beers. It was the most perfect day, and an experience not many tourists would have the pleasure of experiencing in lan ha bay. I recommend this tour to everyone. It’s so important as tourists we see and experience the life of the people who inhabit and work the land we are coming to see. Loved every minute and would highly recommend Chans tours to anyone. Infact we have booked another one today!!

This tour is an absolute MUST for anyone visiting Cat Ba. Chans curates the tour to maximize the tides, time of day and boat traffic, giving you an opportunity to experience Lan Ha Bay in a completely unique way. You will see beautiful places, meet lovely locals and eat tasty food under the stars. We could not have enjoyed this experience more!
