We booked the morning Catba Catamaran Cruise and loved how relaxing it was. The staff helped with everything, and the boat was very clean. The views were amazing, even without leaving the deck.
I went with friends and we had the best time kayaking and jumping off the floating platform. The crew was friendly but not overbearing. Felt like a nice little escape from the city.
The cruise was easy to join and everything went smoothly. The seafood buffet was fresh and simple. We took a lot of photos near the islands. Would go again with family next time.
This Halong Bay tour was short but full of highlights. I liked how we didn’t rush anything. Kayaking in the quiet bay was peaceful. It’s a good tour if you don’t have much time.
The afternoon tour with Catba Catamaran was chill and fun. I loved the little tea break with fruit and cake while the sun went down. Music was playing, but not too loud. Nice vibe all around.
I forgot I was in my 30s while jumping on the floating trampoline. It was silly fun. The guide was helpful and told us cool facts about the bay. We even got time to just float and relax.
This was the best part of my weekend. I didn’t expect much from a 4-hour Halong Bay tour but it felt like a full adventure. The water slide was fun, and the seafood was tasty.
The afternoon on the Catamaran Cruise was just right. No pressure to do anything but lots of options if you wanted to move. The tea and fruit at the end were a nice touch.
We paddled through the cave and into a quiet little lagoon. It was peaceful and cooler in there. Our guide explained some stories about the area, which I enjoyed.
I joined the evening tour and had a good time. Dinner was decent and I actually caught a squid during fishing! Not something I expected but it made me laugh. Fun crew too.
The food was better than I thought. The staff on the Catamaran Cruise were nice and the boat didn’t feel crowded. I had time to just sit and watch the bay. Would recommend for couples or families.
I liked how the Lan Ha Bay tour focused on nature. There weren’t too many people, and the places we stopped at were quiet. The boat felt stable even when we moved fast.
The crew on the Catamaran Cruise was welcoming and kind. I joined the cooking class and made my roll. We sang a little karaoke before heading back. Great energy but still chill.

Emily Chen,
CanadaThe Lan Ha Bay tour was easy-going and fun. I tried kayaking and chilled on the trampoline for a bit. The water was calm and clean. Everything felt well-organized from the moment we boarded.
