Lan Ha Bay was fantastic! - Our trip to Lan Ha Bay was fantastic! The activities were fun and well organized, and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Compared to Ha Long Bay, which felt quite disappointing and overcrowded, Lan Ha Bay was much less touristy and much more relaxing. The program was smooth with no rushing around, which made it even more enjoyable. Our guide Hana was the best guide we met in the whole of Vietnam – her English was excellent, she was very helpful, and she happily shared lots of interesting insights about life in Vietnam. Lunch was tasty, but the portions could have been a bit bigger. The only small improvement we’d suggest is with the transport – we could have left a bit later (5:30 instead of 5:10) and made fewer or shorter stops on the way there. Overall, a great experience we would definitely recommend!

Great experience and stunning views - The trip was great, the place is stunning. Hana (the guide) was very attentive and gave us detailed explanations about the place and vietnamese culture. Dory (the sales executive) was also very responsive and answered all the questions we had before the trip very quickly. I highly recommend this trip.

Just do it or you will regret it - Don’t even think about it - just do it. An amazing day. So beautiful. Hannah our guide was brilliant- fabulous English speaker and great sense of humour. I am a 58 year old solo traveler and had a blast with a mix of 10 younger Aussie, Spanish and French on the trip. So pleased to have taken others advice to skip Ha Long bay and go for this less busy, less touristy trip!!

We had a lovely day by boat in Lan Ha. Our guide, Hana really looked after us, ensuring a smooth and fun day, with lunch. The da - Everything from when we were picked up, to dropped off, went really well on this full day trip to Lan Ha Bay. All the staff were helpful and ensured that all our needs were catered for. The activities were interesting and fun, and lunch was delicious. All special food requests were locked after. The boat was clean and adequate for our day on the water, with towels for us to use, and seating inside or out.

Full day Lan Ha Bay tour with Beka Travel was very good - Overall we had a good experience on the full day LAN Ha Bay tour. The bus trips from Hanoi to Cat Ba and back were very comfortable and it made a nice stop for breakfast. The boat ride was great except for the rain that continued to early afternoon. The last part of the boat ride was sunny. We enjoyed the bay views, the kayak ride, aqua culture and cooking class. The lunch was ok but could be improved. Also, the pick from the hotel was made earlier than when we made the reservation.
