Our boats start from Cat Ba island, which is more beautiful and more interesting than Ha Long city. We avoid the crowd, take you to wonderful areas that less touristy, you can enjoy nice landscapes, real natural, clear water, secluded beaches. Our boats anchor at pocket lagoons for staying overnight. Our local guides are all experienced and enthusiastic, and will help you to discover the bay and take care of you during the trip. -We do a lot of different trips than other tour companies. It is well worth the money with nicer itineraries (more time kayaking, swimming each day), and we cruise further to amazing landscapes in less touristy areas. You also have more time on the boat, not like a 24 hours tour by other companies. Join us, you will start the trip at 11.00 of Day 1 and finish at 15.00 of Day 2. What should be better? -The trip can be flexibly changed due to customer's demands, the weather and the tide as well.

Highly recommend this experience. We had the most wonderful 2 days. Everything was easy to organize from pickup in Hanoi to getting dropped back off they took care of everything. Our time on the boat itself was incredible. A great guide, chef, and captain. We did so many activities from incredible cave kayaking to swimming to seeing and feeding monkeys to night fishing and seeing where fish are raised. Ninh was the best tour guide. He shared so many interesting things about the region and life in Vietnam. He also led the experiences impeccably and was so flexible for us to make the experience exactly what we wanted. The food was also delicious and had so much variety.

Such a good tour with small enough group of all different ages. We seen so many areas and most of the time our group were the only ones there it was so nice and peaceful. The rooms were lovely and clean and the food provided was very tasty! Our tour guide Tony was so enthusiastic and gave us lots of information throughout the trip. We had the best time!

We had a lovely 2 days 1 night trip with our tourguide Ben. He gave a lot of information about the bay and the history and his English is very good! The stops were nice, we also saw monkeys! The rooms and the food are good! Would recommand!

The boat we were on was very old and tired and the catering is limited given the cost of the excursion - this is not to take away from the friendly staff who did their best to keep our group active on the water.- In hindsight we would not have booked an overnight cruise but just a day cruise.

We had a great time on the boat with our guide Ninh, I definitely recommend taking a tour with Cat Ba Ventures ☺️ Ninh knows all the hidden and untouristy lagoons that can be reached by kayaking and is super kind. We learned a lot about vietnamese culture and language thanks to him.

Fantastic experience. Ben was an amazing tour guide. You can tell hes very passionate about the area and the people. The boats were great, had the best night sleep since being in Vietnam. Food was tasty too.

Great experience! We loved the kayaking, the swimming, and the views. Great food and nice cabins. Ninh was a great guide, and his English was good. We were very happy that it wasn’t too touristy and would recommend it anytime!

We had a great time in Lan Ha and Ha Long bays with Hang as our tour guide. We kayaked in beautiful lagoons and caves and swam at secluded beaches. Hang provided lots of great regional information and entertainment. I was wary of booking the trip because I expected crowds of tourists, but this was one of my favorite parts of our trip to Vietnam!
