2.Full day trip to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay from Cat Ba, avoid the crowds

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,317 reviews · from $41Top rated

Spend nine hours cruising Lan Ha and Ha Long Bays from Cat Ba, with a visit to Cai Beo floating village, two hours of kayaking through caves and rock arches, beach swims, snorkeling, and lunch on board. Guides such as Hang, Jack, Bee, and Ben are known for lively explanations and careful help. Groups can reach 38 people.

“We had a marvelous day despite the weather and some problematic travel. Ben was amazing, super energetic and engaging and very inclined to share more about the Vietnamese culture. You must go kayaking (even in the rain) as it was by far the most fun part of the day. Recommend to stay the night in Cat Ba the night before. We took an early morning car from Hanoi and the trip over and back were nightmarish. Luckily, the tour company was helpful and communicative throughout the process but my goodness, JUST STAY CLOSE BY.”

Then we only spent a few minutes getting across to the island to see things being made etc and not enough time on the river getting to experience life of the people on the river itself.”
