Published on Feb, 2025

An outstanding experience. This tour took us where others don't go as they know the most secluded places. Luu was an outstanding guide. If you do one thing in Vietnam, take this tour!

A perfect cruise with the best guide, Ryan!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an amazing cruise with Ryan in Lan Ha Bay: he is a very committed and knowledgeable guide. At 76, I had never kayaked before and thought that I wouldn’t be able to do it. However, Ryan and the other six ‘cruisers’ were all doing it, so I just had to go for it. It was quite magical and a wonderful experience. The two Italians from Rimini saved the day. That is another story and nobody fell in. I felt safe at all times. We all loved our cruise, such a happy and mixed group. The lunch was delicious and plenty of it.Despite the dull weather, it was an amazing trip: the sun did come out in the afternoon which was a bonus: we saw monkeys, wonderful landscapes and seascapes, a very interesting fish farm, all away from the hustle and crowded Ha Long Bay. The two young guys jumped off the side of the boat to swim to a beach. Thank you Ryan for making the day spent with you so memorable!

Amazing day!

Published on Dec, 2024

It was an amazing day! Ha Lan Bay is so beautiful. The boat we were on was great and big! You can enjoy the tour from the deck in the sun. Sometimes it felt like we were the only ones! A tour from Cat ba Local is recommended. From Ha Long is super crowded. Our guide Luu was telling us about the bay and about Cat ba with a lot of passion!

Great day

Published on Dec, 2024

Great day. Wonderful places, the opportunity to admire scenic spots and to moove inside, swimming or by kayak. Loo is a very professional guide, who works with heart for his country, for nature, and for people who travels with. Thanks to the captain and his wife

Amazing tour and great guide

Published on Dec, 2024
