About this activity

We grew up on these waters, and we built this small-group cruise for travelers who want to feel the real Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay—not a rushed, "conveyor-belt" tour.

Instead of following the crowds, we take you into the quietest corners of both bays, where often only 1 or 2 other boats are in sight. You’ll kayak through cave tunnels and calm lagoons that big boats cannot reach, and pass Cai Beo floating village—one of Vietnam’s oldest fishing communities—to see how our neighbors truly live on the water.

Spend an unhurried day swimming off wild beaches, watching black kites dive for fish, sharing a home-style lunch cooked fresh onboard, and exploring with a local guide who calls this island home.

Whether you start on Cat Ba, or join from Hanoi or Ha Long via our special route across the heart of Ha Long Bay connecting both heritage bays, you’ll see our home the way we love it most. Max 30 guests.
