Full description
This is a experience from Ha Long, built around Bus/coach. It is run by Blue Swimmer Outdoors, 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.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers Pickup and see-off at your hotel in town, Entrance tickets, Lunch, tour guide and Kayak. It does not cover Drinks, Personal expenses and Gratuities, 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. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Blue Swimmer Outdoors before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
We are a group of 7 and we absolutely LOVED this trip. It’s been one of our favourite trips from the whole of Vietnam! Our guide Tony was so accommodating and an absolute credit to your company. We recommend this to anyone travelling and would give it more stars if we could. Thank you for such a brilliant trip we had a great time!
The day was amazing and fantastic value for money. Phat was our guide and was very helpful and very knowledgable. The transport was very easy to and from the trip, picking us up from our hotels / hostels. Would highly recommend. Very good food and I’m told the vegetarian options were also good.
We booked the full day guided boat trip incl food. It's really amazing day that we will never forget. It was an uniqur and charming experience to be in the bay of Wonder. Tran was very responsive and professional and we booked the tour on the day of so definetely recommend if you're in Catba archipelago!
Best dat trip ever in Lan Ha bay from Catba island. Oh, and once again, the food and service were delicous and amazing!
Our tour guide Tung was a kind and professional tour guide! We saw langurs while kayaking through the Dark and Bright Cave
We had a great day in Lan Ha bay and afternoon during the tour! Great views from monkey island, nice boat tour and delish food on boat.
We got picked up and dropped off in our hotel which was lovely. Thank you for the entire trip! And thank you Blue Swimmer for this incredible experience in Lan Ha bay
The whole tour was really relaxing and phenominal, the kayaking through the caves and seeing the lagoons was our favourite part. A very increddible experience, not for everyone but if you are looking for an adventurous tour this is the best choice. Highly recommended!
We all loved the tour! Our guide was Dinh, who could give a lot of information on the bay and we had other fun activities during this tour such as kayaking, swimming, exploring the cave. Had a great day out there!
Absolutely wonderful company and owner! 100% recommend booking this tour! We had a little glitch with our booking on the app, and the owner went out of his way to make it right! Very honest and trustworthy, great tour! Couldn’t be happier :) ! Book through them!
We had a great day trip, the activity was very well organised and we fit so much into the day but it didn't feel rushed. We booked private transport back to Hai Phong airport and this was all very well organised for us. The communnication via Whatsapp with Hoa was really helpful and informative. Much appreciated.
overall it was a good day despite the overcast day. The excursion met our expectations. It would have been nicer if a more comfortable bus was used. The boat could use some care but it was ok
