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.

  • From Cat Ba Town: Free pickup from your hotel. You can select your transfer option on the booking page.

Absolutely! We serve fresh local food and can cater to Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, or any allergies. Please simply make a note in your booking or inform our guide upon arrival.
