Full description

This is a 7-hour experience from Ha Long, built around Bus/coach, Hai Duong Province and Visitor center. It is run by Cozy Vietnam Travel Company Limited, 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 Admission to attractions: Trung Trang Cave, Cat Ba National, English/Vietnamese-speaking guide, Buffet Lunch on the Cruise, Round-trip transfers to and from your hotel in Hanoi Old and Kayaking. It does not cover Other personal expenses, Tips and gratuities, Drinks at bar and Drinks at meals, 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.

Cozy Vietnam Travel Company Limited 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 Cozy Vietnam Travel Company Limited before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Wow! What can I say! This was by far our favourite day of the trip. James is an amazing tour guide - he always checked to make sure we was looked after and having the best time! The sunset party was amazing too , another tour guide Bobby was a singer & a dj and accommodated for everyone. The food was 10/10 and again, something for everyone!

Long was an amazing guide. He was welcoming and friendly as well as knowledgeable. The absolute highlight of the trip was the kayaking and swimming, the spot was completely empty of boats except ours and the scenery was just unbelievable. Thank you Long for a great day!

I had a really great und fun Day, thanks to Bính and Cozy Vietnam. Bính wasn’t only our tourguide, he was DJ, Singer, Dancer and Photographer. We had time for each program point to enjoy, even though it was pouring rain the mid morning, we made the best of it. The group was nice, the hole staff at the boat. It was a day and money well spent, 10/10 experience.

Our tour to Lan Ha Bay was headed up by our guide Bình. He was incredibly friendly and informative and he made sure to communicate with us thoroughly through out the tour. He made this trip what it was, as it was pretty cloudy and rainy on the day of our tour. He made sure to welcome each group with a song from their national origin. Overall, the trip was very fun and we had a blast.

The tour was great value. It was a very hot day and I really enjoyed the water activities. It was fun to walk through the Cat Ba caves. Though, on particularly hot days, you might want to consider skipping the nature museum. There was no air conditioning and it was too hot to walk around the grounds. Tea was a great tour guide though and very helpful. He interacted with everyone and made sure everyone was well informed.
