A very nice trip to see the beautiful surroundings of Cat Ba. We did lots of activities so you won’t get bored, but also we got freedom to fill our time different if we felt like it. Unfortunately we got delayed due to our long drive from Cao Bang to Cat Ba. We couldn’t make it in time at 8am. The help we got was very good. They made sure we didn’t miss anything and got us on a different boat very fast. Great service, thank you for this experience!

We really enjoyed our cruise. Everything was well organised and we had plenty of time for each activity. The food was plentiful and tasty. The chefs made a special effort to cater to some of the dietry needs of other passengers. Our guide Tom made a great job of entertaining and caring for everyone. Even though it was action packed we still had time to chill out and enjoy the scenery. I would highly recommend this cruise.
