Lan Ha - Ha Long Bay - Dau Be island 2D/1N from Cat Ba in less touristy areas.
Overview
Our boats anchor at pocket lagoons for staying overnight.
Our local guides are all experienced and enthusiastic, and will help you to discover the bay and take care of you during the trip.

Join us, you will start the trip at 11.00 of Day 1 and finish at 15.00 of Day 2. What should be better?
-The trip can be flexibly changed due to customer's demands, the weather and the tide as well.

This was a great trip with our older teens. We had a private boat for our family and thoroughly enjoyed the flexibility and freedom this offered. At all times our guide consulted us regarding the itinerary. The organization of transfers to the island and back (all the way from Hanoi) was professionally managed by the office staff. Out trip included kayaking on both days, swimming from the boat, a visit to a beach to swim and explore and some night-time fishing. There was also plenty of time to relax and take in the surroundings. A highlight was kayaking in the 3 hidden lagoons with very few other people in there. There was ample food for each meal, cooked on the boat. Crew of the boat and our guide were very friendly and helpful.Great trip would recommend it. Loved the spots we visited to kayak nice and quiet and plenty of time to swim, play and explore. Our guide was brilliant thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge Tony, such a great sense of humour and energy for life!
