Our tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup from your accommodation on Cat Ba Island. We will collect you between 8:00 AM and 8:15 AM in the winter and between 8:15 AM and 8:30 AM in the summer. (We will contact you in advance to confirm the exact time).

Upon arrival at the Ben Beo Pier, you'll board our traditional boat and begin navigating through the stunning Lan Ha Bay. As we cruise, you'll admire the imposing limestone formations and pass by Cai Beo, one of Vietnam's oldest and largest Floating Fishing Villages. You'll get to see how the village works and learn about the daily lives of the local fishermen.

Next, we'll cruise to the breathtaking Ha Long Bay, a World Heritage Site. Here, we'll board kayaks and paddle through the largest limestone archipelago in Vietnam. You can relax and enjoy the views as you navigate the clear, calm waters.

After your kayaking adventure, we'll return to the boat for a delicious lunch featuring fresh seafood and vegetarian options, prepared by our local crew. You can take a moment to relax on the deck and enjoy the stunning scenery. When lunch is finished, our captain will find the perfect spot to drop anchor, giving you time to go for a swim. You'll have the option to swim to the secluded and tranquil Ba Trai Dao Beach, or use our provided gear for a snorkeling session to discover the area's rich and vibrant marine life.

At the end of the journey, we'll make a stop at Monkey Island. Keep an eye out for the island's playful residents! From there, we will cruise back through the fisherman's village during the beautiful golden hour before returning to Ben Beo Pier. The trip concludes around 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM, where a bus will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
