Great views and amazing host - Views were amazing and HANG was an unreal host, he’s full of energy and excitement for the activities, great English and very friendly, ask him to do magic tricks they are amazing. We went to many secluded caves and lagoons and were away from the crowds. Beds were amazing what a view. Thanks Hang

Incredible and once in a lifetime - Compréhensive, stunning, adapted to tides and managed to go to places without being disturbed by any other group. Nice and sufficient food, nice rooms too.

Very nice trip, even nicer guide! - We had a very nice trip over Ha Long Bay and La Ha Bay. This trip avoids the overly crowded areas, so you can really enjoy the bay. The highlight of the trip, however, is the guide, Hang, who can tell you everything about the bay, and also really makes the effort to make it as much as possible to your liking. In the evening (we had the 2D1N tour), he even came up with fun magic tricks. All in all a fantastic experience!!

Amazing Cat Ba Ventures! - Fantastic experience! The staff are all accommodating and work hard to make our experience seamless. We had a small boat to ourselves and were able to adjust the activities and time to our suiting. The staff often organised our activities so that we would be the only group kayaking or visiting the fishing village which made it feel authentic and exclusive. The food was delicious, the rooms were comfortable and our guide Nin was fantastic and friendly. Would highly recommend that people go with this company for their Cat Ba visit.

Thank you, Ben. - Superb cruise, and contract respected: a small group of 12 people, few if any boats around us, and a great tour from Cat Ba and especially in Ha Long Bay. Our guide Ben was super available, spoke perfect English, and had a lot of humor! We had many explanations about the surroundings, the fauna and flora, the culture, or even local beliefs. The 2 days pass very quickly, but the landscapes are very beautiful!

Unique and adventurous - We had a special time on the 2 day/1 night tour through Ha Long and Lanh Ha Bay. We were part of a group of 13 people led by Ben, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. He gave us plenty of information and history of the local area and Vietnamese life in general. The boat crew were friendly and cooked delicious food, and as vegetarians we are well accommodated. The boat travels at a good speed to enjoy various parts of the bay in the 28 hour period, we anchored down for lunch and dinner in spectacularly beautiful spots. It was pretty surreal to be visiting this infamous location, more beautiful than expected! In the kayak, Ben took us through caves to hidden lagoons, showed us bats and we spotted golden headed langur monkeys! A rare sighting. We paddled at a good speed and took regular breaks to ensure everyone was comfortable, no one was left behind. We went swimming in the lagoons and the bay in the calm, refreshing water, a real pinch me moment. We didn't see many other boats when cruising out any other tourists whilst paddling, Cat Ba Ventures offer a unique and special experience, I am incredibly happy with the tour!

Island cruising - The tour was awesome! Didn’t feel rushed and plenty of time to relax on the boat. On both kayaking trips they were a good length of time to see so much and even able to see some monkeys on one of the islands. Ben the guide was more than accommodating and helpful throughout the trip and spoke great English.

Worth it - 2 days 1 night was the perfect amount of time. Got to kayak through caves and lagoons. The food was very good. Tony was a great guide.
