Full description

This is a 9-hour experience in Ha Long. It is run by Cat Ba Eco Tours, 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 & drop off from hotel in Cat Ba island, Entrance fees of 120 000 VND/person, Kayaking, Biking tour and Swimming. It does not cover Drinks 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.

Cat Ba Eco Tours 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 Eco Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We got picked up from our hotel and taken to the ferry. The ferry ride was smooth and we were taken to places where there were very few boats. We loved that, very quiet and could take a lots of pictures of the nature. The guid was giving us just enough information about the things we were passing and would answer in more detail if someone had a question, but we loved that he let us enjoy the scenery or relax. Overall was a very nice trip, totally recommended.

Amazing day!! So worth it to see the best parts of Cat ba, my favourite part was the Viet Hai village, this trip is definitely worth doing. Our tour guide Harry was so welcoming and spoke brilliant English.

This trip definitely worth its price. Keep in mind that there are plenty of activity: kayaking, swimming, cycling. You definitely should try fish massage, especially if you haven't tried it before. We have a very good guide, he was good enough, kept momentum going, sometimes was strict because of no manner behavior some of the tour's participants. Bring with yourself swimsuits - you will need them during kayaking and swimming session in the lagoon. After watersports you will have quite decent lunch with local food and information about it. If you are vegetarian you will find something to eat a

Día supercompleto! Nos recogieron en el hotel por la mañana y nos llevaron al puerto. Una vez allí nos explicaron todo lo que íbamos a hacer y el orden. Claro y sencillo. Pudimos disfrutar de la maravillosa bahía de Lan Ha (muy tranquila y nada masificada, solo estaba nuestro grupo de 8 personas) en kayak dándonos libertad, después paramos para nadar y saltar desde el barco, lo cual fue espectacular también. Nos dieron de comer en el barco y nos dirigimos a Viet Hai donde dimos un paseo en bici con vistas preciosas y acabamos con un masaje de pies de peces. 100% recomendable. Además el guía ha
