What a wonderful day, everything was perfect from riding the bicycle through Cat Ba Island to canooeing through Lan Ha Bay. It was totally worth it especially because it wasn‘t very crowdy (I think Ha Long Bay is crowdier) but the nature and scenic view was the same.

We really enjoyed our tour of Lan Ha Bay with Binh! he was an amazing tour guide and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture and history which made our tour much more rewarding. We especially enjoyed the history about the villages in Cat Ba Island. He is also very funny! The tour was also not too crowded and we got to enjoy the amazing views! would highly recommend.

Booking the Unique Cave Dining through Klook was seamless. The evening began with a comfortable shuttle ride to Paradise Cave, where we were greeted with a welcome drink. Dining inside the cave, surrounded by ancient stalactites and soft lighting, was enchanting. The multi-course Vietnamese meal, featuring fresh seafood and traditional dishes, was both delicious and beautifully presented. The highlight was the Rượu Cần tasting, offering a taste of local culture. Live music added to the ambiance, making the night truly special. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique and memorable dining experience in Vietnam.

The itinerary for one day trip was well-planned and executed by our guide, Binh. There were multiple transfers, bus, ferry and bus again before getting on the cruise. Lunch followed soon after and the spread was delightable with lots of choices from meat to seafood to vegetarian options. After lunch, we headed to Viet Hai village for cycling. fret not if you can’t cycle as there was also electric car to ferry you around. After cycling, there is kayaking, cruise slide and jumping into the water. We saw huge jellyfishes in the waters but it didn’t seemed to bother anyone. the trip ended with fruits, tea cake, biscuits and tea before going back to Hanoi on the same route. Do note that towels are provided and there were 4 WCs/changing room on board. Drinks are chargeable but at a reasonable price. Binh was clear and fluent in his guide, providing a history of vietnam and clear instructions throughout the day.

We were lucky to have experienced fair weather during this trip. There was a bit of rain but we really enjoyed the activities especially the tour around Viet Hai Village and kayaking. It's always nice to hear stories and a little history about the places so I really appreciate our tour guide Mr. Binh's effort to explain every place. Also including funny jokes on the side 😁 Food and drinks on board were also good, just note that drinks are bought separately. Don't worry though, as it's all fairly priced. All staff are also helpful and nice.
