Full description
This is a 9-hour experience in Ha Long. It is run by CAT BA VENTURES CO.,LTD, 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.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
The price covers Boat tour of Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay, Visit to floating fishing village and fish farm, Kayak rental and guided kayaking, Swimming and optional snorkeling and Lunch on the boat. It does not cover Drinks on the boat and Transport to Cat Ba from Hanoi, 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.
CAT BA VENTURES CO.,LTD sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with CAT BA VENTURES CO.,LTD before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Great Tour and AMAZING tourguide :)) Hang was great!
Echt een geweldige tour, met een kleine groep. Hele dag geen andere boten gezien. Absolute aanrader deze!
Va ser una activitat molt complerta, guia (Toni) molt integrador del grup i amb explicacions durant l’activitat que t’ajuden a entendre la cultura. Jornada en grup reduit (menys 20 persones) evitant rutes i masificacions turístiques. Jornada molt variada i completa, va incloure diferents espais de bany (alta mar i en platja) temps kayak i visita poble pescadors. Bon menjar a bord. Tot molt bé, super recomanable😊😊 Final i retorn amb sunset. Molt bona opció si visites Ca Ba
The tour was fantastic, and Tony, our guide, was very attentive and ensured we really enjoyed the whole day. His explanations were also very interesting; he knows the area, the tides, and Vietnamese culture inside out, we learned so much. We would highly recommend it without a doubt.
We had an amazing tour with Cat Ba Ventures! It was such a great way to explore Cat Ba and see Ha Long Bay.

We saw lots of other cruises arrive as we left and it look chaotic! The views were absolutely stunning, especially as the sun began to set. We even spotted some Cát Bà Langur’s perched on the rocks and called us all over so we could see them. The trip to the fish farm was really interesting! And the food we had fo
