Cat Ba Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

A wonderful day in Halong Bay! Sam was friendly, helpful, and explained everything clearly. We really enjoyed kayaking and visiting the cave.

We had a great time in Halong Bay. The boat, food, and activities were all good. Sam was very kind and made the trip enjoyable.

The most local experience you could hope for in Cat Ba!The pickup goes very well, on time, and the guide will do everything to make you feel comfortable; they know a lot of things, so do not hesitate to ask your questions.We were only in a small group on a very cute little boat, which adds to its charm + avoids tourist crowds; we were almost alone on the bay thanks to the proposed program and activities.The bay is magnificent and CAT BA LOCAL made this moment even more unforgettable.Thank you!

Everything ran smoothly and the sites were worth it. The guide (Tyler) was extremely professional and passionate. It's hard to describe but a guide can really impact the quality of the experience, and Tyler really made the experience worth it.

The tour included bus pick up/drop off from Old Quarter area in Hanoi, a tour of oyster farm (free of charge) and the Ha Long Bay cruise. The whole tour takes about 6 hours from the oyster farm. Pick up was easy and straightforward. Our tour guide, Sam, was helpful and attentive to our inquiries. We visited Sung Sot cave, Ti Top island and ended with water activies such as kayaking, bamboo boat or speed boat (about USD 12). Lunch and light snack on the way to land are included. No question about the view of Ha Long Bay, it is one of nature's greatest gift for us to marvel (provided the weather is good).

Amazing trip to Halong Bay! The scenery was beautiful, the activities were fun, and Sam was a very friendly and helpful guide. Highly recommended!
