We had an amazing time. The boat on the picture ended up not being the same one that we went on but it was still a nice boat. Food was a lot and good. Crew was nice.
We did a 2-day boat tour in Cát Bà and it ended up being one of the best experiences of my Vietnam trip. We cruised through quiet, untouched areas of Lan Ha Bay, far away from the crowds. The scenery was breathtaking the entire time. The crew was friendly and professional, and everything felt smooth and well organized. The food on board was great: fresh, varied, and way better than I expected from a boat kitchen. We kayaked through hidden lagoons, and had plenty of time to relax on the deck. The overnight stay on the boat was peaceful, with calm waters and a nice sunrise view through the clouds the next morning. It really felt like we had the bay to ourselves. Overall, the tour was the perfect way to experience the beauty of Cát Bà and Lan Ha Bay. If you’re looking for a quieter, more authentic alternative to Ha Long Bay’s crowded routes, this 2-day tour is absolutely worth it.
Amazing experience like the tour guy very welcoming, the food on the boat was great and we very happy and we recomend 9 Out 10
We had a great trip. Jack is a great guide. Pick up was always on time and the food is nice. Crew can be a bit more active, however, this does not apply to jack. He was always on top of things.
I really enjoyed the trip. Jack was a great tour guide. And he put in a lot of effort. Rooms were comfortable with separate beds and bathrooms. WiFi was not working on the boat. The pick up and drop off was well arranged and timely. Thanks again for the great trip!
Trip was nice and Jack was a great tour guide! He put in a big effort for us which we really appreciate. The rest of the crew was ok but did not speak any English.
Very nice trip with John! We enjoyed the boat very much and I would rexommend anyone to take this trip. The nature was very pretty!
Really cool trip thanks to Jack! Boat was perfect with good good and nice activities including squid fishing. Would definitely recommend!
Our trip was amazing. Super nice views and activities although there was no sun. Especially our tour guide Tony was super friendly, helpful and open to answer all our questions! We really enjoyed our stay
The cruise itself is okay, the scenery is beautiful and the ship comfy enough. As of the « cooking class » … well they take 10 minutes to show you how to make a spring roll. I was expecting something more elaborated than that. Now you know what to expect for. Then the skid fishing. I was hoping for a nicer setup. We fished old school with bamboo sticks which is okay but the spot on the ship to fish is really not comfortable at all. Note that the ship does not have heating in the cabins so bring warn clothes if temperature is cold or cool . We asked for additionnal blankets cause we were freezing that night. The food is great and the alcohol is complimentary. Staff is great
5 star experience, our guide Nan was very accommodating and friendly, from the moment we met him. Food was excellent and we got two fabulous lunches, breakfast and dinner. All activities were very fun and the whole trip was very relaxed and easy going with no pressure to do anything. The boat route was also very quite not meeting many boats.
100% recommended! We had a great time. It was a small group so we had the chance to really connect with everybody. Lovely lovely tour.
We had a wonderful experience me and my wife came for honeymoon and chose this cruise for the experience and it truly lifted our spirits
They views were amazing, the staff were very nice and accommodating. Long was great with organisation of the bus trips to hostel and nam was a very good host for the boat trip. Would recommend to anyone, great people great food great time 🤟
The trip and view of the bay were fantastic. Great tour and great people especially long. Would recommend for everyone to try !!
The whole trip was amazing! Everyone was so accomodating! There was never a dull moment, constant activities and adventures! Long and Nan were so lovely and really made our stay awesome
Long and Nan are both amazing tour guides. They helped us out a lot and we had lots of good laughs!! Enjoyed the trip, perfect getaway from the crazy cities!! Nice boat and fun activities!
Our guide, Minh, was knowledgeable, fun, and thoughtful, making the entire experience enjoyable and well worth the value. When booking a tour like this, the company takes care of all the details to ensure you get where you need to be, which is greatly appreciated, especially when you’re in a foreign country and short on time. We were only in Hanoi for a few days, so adding this trip was a no-brainer—it was a fantastic way to explore a unique and beautiful landscape, distinct from the city. The cruise was clean, comfortable, and we docked in a calm bay, so there was no rocking while we slept. The food offered a great variety; however, as a vegetarian, I found the lunches to be just okay, while the dinner was spectacular. I highly recommend this trip; you won’t regret it—just book it!
A truly amazing experience. We were blown away by the stunning scenery of Lan Ha bay. Loved the activities organised by our guide Linh, who was truly fantastic. Our boat was a lot of fun - Swimming, kayaking, happy hour and karaoke. The crew were great. The tour to the Viet Hai village was a bike ride through lush limestone cliffs - very pretty. We definitely recommend Linh and this tour.
Linh was a great guide for our boat. He made the night we stayed full of fun times and was great in explaining the meaning of things around Halong bay. We would recommend this tour for anyone as the views were spectacular and the activities were super fun.
The tour was amazing itself but this need to be mentioned, an agency named Loi and he was just AMAZING!! He went beyond and did absolutely everything to make sure my trip goes smoothly after recommending me change from Ha Long Bay to Cat Ba tour.. Even make sure my transport change and all of that. I wish I could give him bunch of Stars as he really deserved it!
My cruise around the islands in Vietnam was fantastic. Our guide, Linh, was excellent, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. I started in Cat Ba, which is where I was already but some people started in Hanoi, the company picked me up there and later dropped me off in Hanoi, which was very convenient. Company can arrange your location of start and end if between Hanoi or Cat Ba I think The cruise itself was wonderful, with comfortable rooms and beautiful scenery. Activities included kayaking, swimming, and a great dinner on the first day, and a tour of the islands with options for biking or riding a motorcycle on the second day. The food was great, and we had two lunches and one breakfast. The crew was friendly and provided excellent service. Highly recommended!
Insane views and highly recommend this cruise! Ling our tour guide was very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. The crew were also very friendly and helpful.
Linh was brilliant. Well organised tour and really friendly members of staff. We would definitely recommend. Thank you!
Thank to the team of sunlight cruise and specialy to shin and Bryan. We enjoyed a lot our stay. The food was good on the boat the activities maintained even with the rain . Peacefull and sharing moment. Thank you to the team
Such a nice trip. Enjoy the food, activities was nice kayaking and swimming. Biking in the village. Fish massages was fun
From the views, rooms, itinerary, food and our awesome guide Brian - everything was perfect!! We cannot thank the staff enough. They helped us with everything we needed. In the beginning, there was miscommunication between our hotel and the tour as I‘m a vegetarian & the hotel did not properly forward the info. Brian took care of it in an instant and I was spoiled with food cooked just for me in a matter of minutes!
More and better than expected. Great views. 3 dinners a day. Total worth it. I totally recommend it.
The trip was well organized with lots of activities. We got interesting information about the bay. The food was good and the clean rooms had comfortable beds.
Very nice trip, even better than my expectations. Friendly sftaff, beautiful landscape. Our tour guide Hai was friendly and helpful. Thank you all.
My brother and I are only half way through our Vietnam trip, but this cruise will probably be the highlight. It seems that most people try to go to Ha Long bay, but this tour goes to Lan Ha Bay. The scenery is indistinguishable from Ha Long bay (and stunning) and it’s less crowded and polluted. The meals were enjoyable and the itinerary was a blast. Swimming in the warm water of the bay was our favorite part. Hai did a great job guiding our trip from our pick up in Hanoi all the way through our drop off back in the city. The additional staff on the boat were friendly and helpful as well. I strongly recommend this tour. Wish it could have been longer.
Very Nice tour,very well organized. Everything went y very smoothly from the start. Pickup at hotel in modern minibus, transfert to boat with small group (12 total). There we had great sightseeing, and Many cool activities. All this with the great and kind support from Brian our guide. I highly recommend it😀😀
The itinerary, food, activities and the guide (Hai), all were amazing. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family for their Vietnam trip.
The trip was amazing. I totally recommend it! Hai was a fantastic tour guide and we all enjoy it. Thank you!
The boat trip was great! We spent memorably moments in this travell. I met new friends and nes espectacular places. I am really recomended this experiene.
The trip was amazing, a really nice crew, beautiful sceneries and tremendous food! Really recommend this tour!
Everything was so great! The sea, the sun, the food, the landscape, the boat, the kayak, the fishing, the guide, the cooking class, the Karaoke, the biking. It was perfect!
The Guide Hai spoke really good English and was fun to be around. The acitivies were fun and as advertised. The boat was cute and for around 20 people what kept the trip quite private. :) We also were lucky to have really cool other travellers with us!
We really enjoyed the amazing nature, had a nice programm (kayak, swimming, cycling and a little cooking class), good food, cozy rooms!
We had a really good time on the cruise through halong bay. The rooms were nice with an amazing view, the food was good and the staff very welcoming.
Perfect organisation and Hai was a fantastic tour guide Bike cycle tour was great. Beautiful landscapes
I highly recommend this visit. We made two days one night cruise. The experience was very cool, the crew was very nice and we have a lot of fun with them and with the other groups on the boat. And of course landscapes are excellents.
Amazing nature, Hai is a really kind and knowledgable guide with good english, food are good and plenty, the room and bathroom is clean with a balcony.
Great tour guide (Hái), activity was well organized and very enjoyable. Improve on the music system (have some karaoke machine) ans some tables and chairs on the.deck.
It's a budget friendly trip with very good foods and trip guide Mr. Hai is a wonderful company. Suggested.
The experience at the cruise with Brian and the group was amazing. It was so funny and Brian was very good and helpful guide.
Really enjoyed this trip from start to end! We were completely immersed by the limestone islands on our boat. ‘Hi’ was very good at getting everyone on the trip to know eachother and explaining the local culture! Fun activities were planned throughout the two days also!
What an amazing experience! Hai our tour guide, had excellent English, excellent info and excellent humour. The actuvities provided made me feel alive and were great fun. The crew helpful and friendly, accomdation clean and our food was yummy. The people we met were friendly and all solo travellers which made us connect.
