Cua Van Floating Village tours

It was a nice experience. The views were stunning. We went on a kayak and explored. The waters were calm and it was not crowded. It was definitely much better than our Halong bay cruise. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Highly recommended! Beautiful landscapes, super fun kayaking, swimming and cycling around the island. Our guide Tony was super kind and friendly, even helped us book a taxi after the tour finished. My vegan friend also had lots of options to eat inside the ship, everything was delicious! I can’t even choose which part I loved the most

Booked the afternoon before, and the order was confirmed in the evening, with the meeting point informed by email. Staying in Cat Ba town, it took five minutes to walk to the meeting point the next morning. First, guests are picked up from each hotel, and then we go to the pier to board the cruise ship. The first stop is a village tour, with free small fish foot massage and bicycle riding, with about an hour of free time. Electric cars pick us up and return us to the cruise ship. The second stop is swimming, where guests can swim freely, or lie down on the cruise ship if they don't want to swim. Then lunch, buffet style, the food is fresh and delicious! After lunch, we first return to the port to drop off the half-day tourists, and then pick up a group of afternoon half-day tourists. Then continue to sea, the third activity is a double kayak, about 40 minutes, with almost no wind and waves, very safe. Back on the cruise ship, continue sailing for a while, and then we arrive at the afternoon swimming spot. Freely choose whether to go into the sea, if you don't want to go into the sea, you can have afternoon tea on the cruise ship, free tea and fruit. After a short break, the cruise ship slowly sails back to the port. The tour guide arranges shuttle buses to take everyone back to the hotel, stop by stop. A day trip, the itinerary is very rich, but very leisurely.

Everything was perfect. The guide was super friendly. Although we were the only non-veitnamese people on the board but he made sure to explain everything to us in english. the itenerary was perfect and we'll managed. It's a great value for money

A perfect cruise: excellent and fresh food, a hot jacuzzi with a bay view (just incredible), kayaking, squid fishing (we had a lucky catch), a village visit, and a floating aquaculture farm with our guide who spoke excellent English and was very gentle and courteous. The rooms are superb, and waking up to the bay view is extraordinary! And to top it all off, the weather was beautiful, and we were the only ones on this large boat with a charming French woman.

Reasons for choosing Lan Ha Bay: 1. Wanted to avoid the cave itinerary in Ha Long Bay day trips, as we have seen many similar landscapes in southwestern China. 2. Increased the budget for meals. 3. Interested in the original ecological village environment of Cat Ba Island. After the actual experience, all of the above expectations were met, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. The types of seafood meals on board depended on the ingredients that could be purchased in the market that day. Unfortunately, in November, we could only eat cuttlefish and prawns that are available in all seasons, and the variety was far less abundant than in the peak season. Nevertheless, the food was very delicious and varied. Our guide, Billy, was very knowledgeable and professional. He gave us a very comprehensive introduction to Vietnam's modern history and current development. His English was clear and accurate, and he followed international etiquette, which impressed me very much. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will consider staying overnight on Cat Ba Island.

Our Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise was truly an unforgettable experience! Choosing this route over the more touristy Ha Long Bay was hands down the best decision we made. Lan Ha Bay’s views were absolutely breathtaking—serene, awe-inspiring, and nothing short of magical. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the bay felt like witnessing God’s masterpiece—it was that stunning. Tony, our tour guide, was fantastic. He was super friendly, shared great stories, and gave us fascinating insights about the bay. He even went the extra mile by taking photos and videos for us, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We also met some amazing fellow travelers who shared their own Vietnam adventures, adding even more warmth and fun to the trip. The journey to and from the port was smooth and comfortable, especially with the luxury van pick-up—it really added to the overall experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful yet magical alternative to Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect. Beautiful views, a friendly crew, and a well-organized tour. Swimming, kayaking, relaxing on deck - what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!
