Traveler Reviews
Really bad hotel the first night, really bad transportation that was also late, nothing to do the first day at Cat Ba. The food on the boat was bad (other guests said they found maggots), we and several others heard rats, no free drinks for any meals not even water. The price was not worth what we got. The other guests on the boat were nice so we did end up having a fun time, but would NOT pay for this again.
friendly and lovely staff. there is a local problem with polution in the sea that should addressed before it gets a lot worst.
Super expérience sur un bateau à taille humaine! Le transport a été organisé tout comme la nuit d’hôtel avant la croisière et le retour sur Hanoï. Les activités proposées étaient super et notre guide Steven excellent également ! La nourriture à bord était aussi très bonne et des alternatives végétariennes étaient aussi disponibles. Je recommande à 100%
