Full description

This is a experience from Ha Long, built around Bus/coach. It is run by Vietnamtravelers, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off in Hanoi or Cat Ba Town, Transfer to Cat Ba Town, Day cruise, Guide and Lunch on board. It does not cover VAT tax, SUP boat paddling, Additional drinks onboard and Tips for the guide and crew, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnamtravelers before treating your booking as final.

Less crowded than Ha Long Bay and just as beautiful. The day was perfectly spent and it was enough for me as a day trip. The food was really good and nice to meet people

best one day jam packed option available if you want to do all the things but don't have time to do the overnight cruise or get sea sick easily. it was quite a few transfers but it's the minimum needed to get to the event and back and I have no regrets. Bình was the best tourguide we could've asked for and he was super patient and caring even with some of the rowdy folks that were part of our tour. He went above and beyond and even gave us a Vietnamese language crash course. I've had trouble understanding some of the local guides in English, but Bình was the best so far and I had no issues und

I'm not an organized group person, trying to avoid that as much as I can but this tour was great. We enjoyed the quietness and beauty of Lan Ha Bay. We did bike, kayak and swimming. The buffet for lunch was good with a lot of choices. The guide Bin, if I'm writing it correctly, was good as well. So if you want to enjoy a day trip from Hanoi to Lan Ha, I would definitely recommend it.

La actividad está chula y bastante variada. No lo doy 5 estrellas por el tiempo invertido. Aquí hay q contar 2h para llegar + ferry para pasar + bus para llegar al primer destino + ferry y ya luego en el barco. Se llega directamente para comer. O sea, que la excursión no comienza hasta las 12:00 No sé.... Está chula pero es un pateo importante. Y lo mismo para volver. Salimos de Hanoi a las 07:30 y volvimos a las 20:45 Dicho eso, Cat Ba es chulo, el paseo el bici también, y ya acabas en el Kayak y nadando.

L'organisation était top, tout a été bien expliqué par le guide qui était hyper sympa, souriant et qui racontait pas mal de petites anecdotes tout au long de la visite. L'itinéraire est super, très complet, plein d'activités sont proposées auxquelles on peut participer ou non ! Le déjeuner servi à bord est excellent. J'ai passé une journée merveilleuse dans cet endroit incroyable, en plus de ça c'est moins touristique que la Baie d'ha long et tout aussi beau, on était seul au monde ! Allez y les yeux fermés !
