Lan Ha Bay all day excursion

We had the full day excursion of Ha Long bay which include picked up, cruise, kayaking, swim in the bay, lunch, visit fish farm and making (and eating) summer roll! Our guide Hana picked us up from our hotel in Cat Ba and met up with travellers from Hanoi and other parts of town. There are usually up to 25 people on the tour but on our trip there are only 8 of us which made it more intimate and enjoyable. Hana was very informative and very funny. During the whole trip, she tells us lots of history about the area and answer any questions we have. What I love about the trip is that fact that the operator knows when certain area are busy through out the day, we are able to miss most of the other cruises and able to have an area to ourselves all the day! We pretty much leaves every activity when another 2 or 3 cruisers are pulling up! All gears are provided like life jackets, wet bags (so you can carry your valuables and keep them dry while kayaking), and towels. You are able to get change and rinse off on the boat after swimming. End of the trip they are able to drop us back where we were picked up. All in all it's a very enjoyable day and well worth the money!

Great Experience , no Tourist Traps!

I did the 12-hour excursion and everything was perfectly organized. Hanna was amazing — super clear, on time, and had everything ready for us. The food was surprisingly great, and the bus and drivers were excellent and very comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us off exactly when they said they would. The only thing that could improve is the boat, which is a bit old, but the lady on board was very kind. I also loved that they didn’t stop anywhere to sell you things. Overall, I was really impressed with the service.

Great boat ride with amazing views

Hana has been such a great guide today. We really appreciate the detailed explanations she gave during the trip and that they did the tour in reverse order to not join all the other boats on the same route. Hana also spotted the monkeys, so awesome. The boat was nice and the food was good. The only minor thing was the weather, but that did not spoil the tour at all.

Immersion in one of Vietnam’s natural wonders

The whole experience was fantastic! What a natural wonder!Our tour guide, Hana, was amazing! She was there for us during the entire trip, answering our questions and making sure that everybody was happy. She also had deep knowledge about fish biology and she taught us mind blowing information during our stop at the fish farm. During our swimming stop, she made sure everyone was safe. Our son dived about 20 times from the upper deck and Hana cheered him and shot videos of him. Boy, was he proud! The food was delicious and the boat was very clean. The crew was very professional. We had a great time and we took some incredible pictures. Super value for money! Highly recommended. Thank you Beka travel!

Cat ba experience

The whole trip was fantastic! Great communication from the organisers and seem less from pick up to drop off. Hana was an expert guide and had incredible knowledge off the Cat ba area. We got to know the local life and conservation effort in the area. We highly recommend this day trip but Hana made it unique experience.
