A Cat Ba must-do! The guide, Xan, took us from the town out to a local fishing village on his boat. We had 3 hours of fishing and caught several sea bream; which Xan later cooked for us. Some of the best sea bream I’ve ever had. Xan’s genuine love for fishing was what made it such a memorable experience. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Despite limited fishing experience we were both able to catch multiple fish. A fantastic way to relax and enjoy Cat Ba the local way.
Fantastic fishing tour.Small group, very relaxing and well organized. The guide knew exactly where to go, and we had great success catching fish. Perfect for anyone looking for a fun and authentic local experience.
It was extremely fun! We caught a lot of fish And the captain cooked them right then and there! The freshest you can get. Overall it was very fun and 100% worth it
The fishing tour was relaxing and well organized. The captain was friendly, helpful, and shared interesting local fishing techniques. The boat was clean and safe, and the scenery was beautiful. It was a peaceful way to enjoy the sea and local life. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience.
We had a great time on this tour. The captain took us around the bay and we had the chance to see some very scenic views. We then fished for a few hours and caught a lot of fish as well as an octopus which the captain cooked for us! Smiley was our tour organiser and she was very flexible with the hours to ensure everything went well, great experience!
We had a wonderful day on this small boat. We were able to see Lan Ha Bay, enjoy a lovely atmosphere with a friendly guide, and we even returned via a visit to the fishing village, absolutely stunning at sunset! I highly recommend this activity to avoid the crowds
It wasthe best fishing zrip we eber did.
bonjour, nous venons de terminer l activite et nous sommes particulierement décus...Ne vous attendez pas à pêcher.... 1h30 de bateau pour aller jusqu’à l’île au singe, nous etions 4, le capitaine n’avait que 3 "cannes" (4m de fil sur 1, un embout cassé sur l’autre et un moulinet defaillant...). au bout de 30min le capitaine nous a propose de faire un tour sur l’île car apparement au vietnam il n’y a pas de poissons... Heureusement que le captinaine a sortie la bouteille de rhum et les bieres pour oublier la partie de peche mediocre... dommage qu’il etait 10h du matin ahah.... si vous souhaitez
