Kayaking Lan Ha Bay: hidden lagoons and limestone cliffs

›

‹

Kayaking Lan Ha Bay: hidden lagoons and limestone cliffs★★★★★★★★★★ 4.94 (64)6hKayak through Lan Ha Bay near Cat Ba for a full day exploring hidden lagoons, limestone caves and quiet beaches in a double kayak with a guide. The boat picks you up from your hotel, takes you through the floating fishing village for 2–2.5 hours, serves lunch on board with traditional Vietnamese dishes, then moves to Ba Trai Dao in the north for a second paddling session in a self-contained area. Children from age 5 are welcome; the guide speaks English.Is it for me?Book this if you're staying in Cat Ba or nearby without a car—the pickup means you don't arrange transport to the bay, and the guide handles navigation so you can focus on paddling into the lagoons instead of finding them. The double kayak with a guide also works well if you want to paddle but aren't confident navigating limestone islands on your own.Free cancellationKids −30%fromUS$ 38View ›

Cat Ba day cruise and night kayak: bioluminescent paddle

‹

Cat Ba day cruise and night kayak: bioluminescent paddle★★★★★★★★★★ 4.93 (27)13hA 13-hour day and night tour of Cat Ba combines cruising through Lan Ha Bay's karst islands with kayaking into hidden lagoons, tunnels and archways, plus a night paddle where every stroke lights up the water with bioluminescence. The boat visits Cai Beo fishing village and less-touristed stops like Ba Trai Dao Beach and Vung Vieng; lunch and dinner with a fisherman are included, and groups stay small—maximum 30 on the day boat and 8 for the night kayak. A live English-speaking guide leads all activities.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a small group—the night kayak caps at 8 people—and you're drawn to the bioluminescence more than the crowds. The 13-hour day is full, so it suits travelers with a single day to spend and the fitness to paddle, swim and sit on a boat without breaks. Skip it if you need a shorter outing or prefer to stay on land.Free cancellationKids −38%fromUS$ 65View ›
