Frequently asked questions

Unlike standard cruises that visit crowded caves (like Dark & Bright Cave) with thousands of tourists, our boat takes a unique route to Ba Trai Dao and Dau Be areas. We focus on outdoor activities (unlimited kayaking, swimming, cycling) rather than sightseeing spots. It is quieter, wilder, and much less touristy.

This is an active tour, so a moderate fitness level is recommended. However, kayaking in Lan Ha Bay is quite easy because the water is calm (no big waves).

We offer hassle-free pickup services:

  • From Hanoi: Pickup at Old Quarter (7:30 - 8:00 AM). Cost: +250,000 VND/person.

  • From Ninh Binh: Pickup at Tam Coc/Trang An. Cost: +270,000 VND/person.

Amazing experience!

The unlimited kayaking allowed us to explore hidden lagoons at our own pace. The crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The seafood dinner was one of the best meals we had in Vietnam.

A delightful surprise from start to finish!

Kayaking in Lan Ha Bay was truly the first thing that blew me away; the water was crystal clear and incredibly calm. Our guide, Hana, explained everything with great clarity and spoke excellent English. She even played the flute for us on the boat, which was such a delightful surprise. Since this is a small-group tour, the service felt extremely attentive and friendly. The food was served piping hot, featuring delicious local flavors that were easy to enjoy—even my vegetarian friend was completely satisfied. Cycling around Viet Hai Village was also an absolute highlight, so peaceful and charming!
