Full description
This is a experience in Ha Long, built around Cai Beo Floating Village, Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay. It is run by Eco-Friendly Vietnam Venture Travel, 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 Pick-up and drop-off service, tour guide, Kayaks, Travel insurance and Towels. It does not cover Services not clearly mentioned, Extra drinks such as beer and Tips, 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.
Cát Bà Island. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Eco-Friendly Vietnam Venture Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Very good guide ! But we haven’t done ha long bay and monkey island due to the weather :/
Was a little worried that I made a mistake not booking one of the super fancy huge yachts, but alas I made the right choice. They all went and did the exact same thing, just different looking boats. It was perfect. The guide was informative and spoke excellent english. We were the first ones on the water so we beat the crowds. the food was delicious and there were great vegetarian options. I really enjoyed how the much our guide made sure we didn't pollute or litter. He was great with the monkeys on monkey island, which is not something that can he said of other guides who were trying to make
the pick up was from our hotel, guide was very efficient. He explained everything. We had a boat just for the people on the coach, about 27. The bay is beautiful and stunning. Dived off the boat, swam to beach. Then kayaking, great fun. Lunch on the boat was huge! so much variety. You do have to pay for all drinks, but good variety including beer. Then for a cycle ride to a village (buggy for those not cycling). Another swim to monkey island. NOTE. They donyt advertise it, but there are small boats that will ferry you for 15k each way. Its about 250m swim. Then the boat goes through stilted fi
A brilliant full day out. I can’t recommend it enough, it’s brilliant value for money and all the activities are well managed. The views are beautiful and the boat was spacious and had all the facilities you could want. I’m a vegetarian and I was so well catered for, it truly was a feast. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable. Go for it!
Very good day trip. a bus come pick you up at your hotel (around 8:30am). Kayak, swimming, bicycle, fish massage and monkey island until 5pm, where the bus come back to your hotel.
Good trip to see everything Cat Ba has to offer. Our driver was amazing. Our guide was good and was happy to answer any questions. We never felt rushed with any of the activities and it was a good length of time to do each of them with time to relax in between on the boat and enjoy the scenery. The value for money was excellent and there was a decent amount of food provided for lunch ☺️
A full day (8 am - 5 pm) filled with activities and time to relax on the boat in between, a huge lunch, snacks, friendly staff, and incredible views. The guides ensure you have a lot of diversity with the activities and things you get to see. Excellent value for the price, would highly recommend.
This Tour was amazing! It had so much to offer and you could do a lot. The Tourguide Ding was also really Kind and helpful. I could Not recommend this Tour enough. I would even do it again :)
it was the best! good communication for the pick up, great trip around places and always enough time in each stop, great food (vegan options too!!) . and gret price as well!!can’t recommend it enough!!
Had such a great day out. The day was organized so well. Got to kayak and swim in Lan Ha bay, followed by a delicious lunch. Really enjoyed cycling through Viet hai village! Felt so looked after throughout the day. Would really recommend !
It was very nice experience. Everything was as described.
Really nice tour with a great and knowledgeable guide!
