The day was intimate and full of adventures. Definitely different experience from the large cruise boats we saw! The hike on Monkey Island was straight up, steep terrain with amazing views. A controlled adrenaline rush! We love our tour guide, Thai, and the boat drivers. We visited in December and it was a bit chilly - we didn’t go crabbing or swim. We ended with a hot pot of fresh seafood on a floating restaurant. Lovely!

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.

Had an amazing and eye opener experience during my first ever rock outdoor climbing with Tuan and Huom. They are both very enthusiastic, patient in guiding and explaining the steps and procedures throughout the whole time. Will highly recommend them to anyone wanting to experience outdoor rock climbing in Cat Ba
