Highly recommended if you like to travel and also like to move - It was a nice time with Daisy our guide and a relatively small colorful mixed group. We have seen, heard and tasted a lot. Daisy was funny, nice and very caring for all of us. We were always traveling in a different place, with boats, bicycle, on foot.., very varied! Daisy was a great help until the shot and even beyond. He helped us with the onward journey we were very happy about.

Beautiful cruise to calm areas of the two bays! - Very beautiful stay on the cruise. Cat Ba Ventures was really able to bring us to the more secluded areas with less other tourists! The food was delicious and the guides Kong, Ninh and Viet were really friendly and sharing interesting cultural insights!

Wonderful trip to the Ha Long Bay area - Cat Ba Ventures were excellent! We were picked up in Hanoi and taken via the superb new gondola to Cat Ba where we enjoyed 3 wonderful days in the Ha Long Bay area. The boat was clean , the food was good and plentiful and we enjoyed the company of our guides. Ben has excellent English and even managed to find the Langur monkeys for us. Tony was also a good guide looking after us in the caves. Loved the trip! The transfer to our hotel in Haiphong was also very well organised

The best local guides - Me and my friends enjoyed a lovely tour on Cat Ba island, Lan Ha bay and Ha Long bay. On the first night guide Jack explained us about the island’s history and nature and about the Vietnam. Very interesting! On the second day we had a lovely trekking guide who comes from a fisherman family. He told us so much about the island and helped us hiking the hill in the most kind and helpful way. When we came back on the boat there was guide Hang who entertained us by doing magic trics and playing the flute. This cruise was a wonderful, adventurous and educating experience.

Hang is amazing!! - We did the 3-days/2-nights boat tour with CatBa Ventures and were overall very happy with the experience. The itinerary was well designed, taking us to beautiful, less touristy places with stunning landscapes all around. It truly felt like an authentic and unique way to explore the region. However, the quality of the tour can vary depending on the guide you get. We had two different guides across the two nights, and the difference was noticeable. The first night was average. The second night, however, absolutely exceeded all expectations — thanks to our guide Hang. Hang was exceptional. From the very beginning, he made a warm and friendly impression. He was always smiling, relaxed, and incredibly attentive. He created a genuinely welcoming atmosphere and made everyone feel comfortable and cared for. On top of that, he went above and beyond what was included in the official program: he organized his own magic show in the evening, which was such a fun and unexpected highlight. Because of Hang, our overall experience went from “average” to a true 5 out of 5 stars. He is an outstanding guide, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. If you have the chance to do this tour, we sincerely hope you get Hang — he made our trip truly unforgettable. ———— Tip for Cat Ba Ventures Organisation: Do not seperate couples during the first lunch based on dietary preferences, guides should not make you feel like you are in school again Tip for travelers: It’s super clean and comfortable however not a luxury yacht but rather a small, authentic more adventurous trip - which we loved

Great 3 D/2 N tour with a fun and great team on the boat - We were on the boat with Tony from 11.11 to 13.11. The organization from booking until we were on the ship was good. We got a great room and everything was clean. Tony took care of every wish immediately and answered questions. The tours with him were very informative and a lot of fun. We had a great time and say THANK YOU to the whole team.

Food super delicious and plentiful.Our guide Viet spoke super English, was super friendly and has been able to introduce us a lot about the country and people, as well as the history and culture. So thanks to our great guide Viet and for the perfect oorganization by Cat Ba Ventures.

A trip we will never forget - This was the best experience of our lives! The private boat exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide Kong was so knowledgeable, funny and kind, he explained everything so well and shared a quieter side of vietnam with us. The activity locations were all away from the crowds and such breathtaking views! The food was so so incredible, we ate like kings and queens and then lounged around having beer in the sun. We even had hotpot cooked in front of us and taught to make spring rolls by one of the chefs Ti! All the crew were so kind and made us all smile. Getting to and from the boat we booked the private travel with the same company and it was seamless experience which made the trip even better. I would reccomended this tour to anyone and everyone! 10/10 best experience of my life.

Unforgettable experiences and great encounters - We were absolutely thrilled with the trip and will not forget the experiences and impressions so soon :) Organizationally, everything went like clockwork and the supply was first cream. The hike is not for tender minds and you can still feel it in your legs 1-2 days later, but is worth every altitude meter. A huge thank you especially to the guides. "Tom Cruise" is simply the incarnation of good humor, Ninh fought with us bravely through the Vietnamese jungle and Jack gave us another great insight into the history and culture of the area. With all 3 the ice broke immediately and you had a super relaxed and personal approach. I've rarely seen anything like it. A thousand thanks for that, boys <3

Highlight of our Vietnam trip - We had a great time with Huyen, the (former) fisherman was a great, cheerful and helpful guide. We booked the private tour (3D/2N) - it was awesome. The tours were great (kayaking, cycling and hiking). The food on board was great. Almost a little too much for the two of us. From consulting online to implementation everything worked out wonderfully. We were even able to take a shower in the associated hotel. Fullest recommendation.
