Full description
This is a 8-hour experience from Ha Long, built around Bus/coach. It is run by Beka Travel Co. Ltd, 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 Hotel pickup and one-way bus transportation from Hanoi to, Hotel pickup and drop-off in Hanoi Old Quarter, Roundtrip shuttle bus from Cat Ba town center, Sightseeing tickets and Lunch on the boat. It does not cover Drinks on board and Holiday surcharge, 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.
Hotel pickup in Ha Long. Beka Travel Co. Ltd confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Beka Travel Co. Ltd before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Our guide Fresco was great! He made friendly conversation with everyone on our trip! There was also an ample amount of food for lunch. More than enough, great for the price!
My brother and I had a great day tour today in Lan Ha bay. Our guide Binh was great (super fun) and the beauty of Lan Ha bay is breathtaking All information for the trip was clear and helpful. Would highly recommend this trip. They take care of you every step of the way!
Really wonderful day trip, thanks Alex! My fave activity I’ve done in Vietnam. I wish I had more time to spend in Lan Ha & Cat Ba.
Amazing and intense! I had such a good time, i have met a lot of nice people from evrywhere! If you are coming from Hanoi and you have time you can consider to spend 1 nigth on the Island!
Alex was a fantastic tour guide He was funny helpful and always made everything more fun He also cared a lot about our safety and gave us freedom to join activities or relax Viet made amazing drinks coffee and fresh juices Everything was delicious. Thang did an amazing job with the food There was more than enough and everything tasted great The spring roll workshop was also a lot of fun. We swam explored relaxed and even jumped from the last floor of the boat.The captain was very friendly and helpful. The whole crew made us feel like family rather than tourists We had an unforgettable experien
The trip was extremely well organised, Hana was lovely and shared a lot of knowledge on Vietnamese culture. The whole crue made it all safe and accurate, the bay is breathtaking and the food was delicious.
We really enjoyed our trip, because 2 tours had been joined into 1, we didn’t do one of the activities that was listed in the afternoon. I gave this feedback to the tour company and they completely turned the experience around. A lot of tour companies would not care if they don’t think they’re going to get repeat business from you. However since we were already back in Hanoi they arranged a complimentary transfer to the airport for us to apologise.
It was a great experience, I cannot recommend it more! The guide was incredible and very energetic, the boat and transport is also great. The best was of course the landscape, nothing I have ever seen before, and having the chance to kayak through bays and swim was priceless. We also got very lucky cause of the perfect weather and almost lack of other people
We had such a great time! All transportation to and from Hanoi was so well organized. The tour was beautiful, not too long and not too short. Guide was great!
Hana was awesome. We learned so much from her and we kept a good pace. The day was packed full of fun. Would recommend!
I had a really enjoyable Lan Ha Bay tour. My guide, Hana, was excellent throughout the day. She was knowledgeable, funny, and took care of everyone’s needs. The transportation was smooth and well organised, which made the whole experience easy from start to finish. The food provided was also good quality. The boat was quite rustic, but it was comfortable enough and suited the relaxed atmosphere of the trip. One of the best parts was that the tour was quiet and peaceful, with a small group rather than being overcrowded. Overall, it was a lovely day and a great way to experience Lan Ha Bay.
Our experience with Hannah was absolutely awesome. She was a perfect guide with very good English and a huge knowledge about everything on the trip. Would love to do it again🙏
