Go for Tyler as guide if you can!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had Tyler as our guide, who was beyond amazing! Super funny, knowledgable and kind throughout the journey! And the trip was very well planned. First we had a little sightseeing around the mountains in the sea. Then we headed for a kayaking trip to check out the caves which was followed by lunch. After that we had a bit of free time when we could swim and chill a bit, and at the end of the day we headed to the marine research centre and got to learn about all the fish there. We ended the day with a bit of snack in the sunset.

A perfect day!

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was one of the best parts of our trip. We got to spend the whole day admiring the stunning scenery of Lan Ha bay. There was a good balance between the activities (kayaking, swimming, visiting the marine research center) and relaxing time (coasting through the bay, having lunch, seeing the floating fishing villages). Our tour guide Tyler was the best!! He took really good care of us and was so kind, knowledgeable, and fun. We were even lucky enough to see a family of langurs! It was honestly a perfect day.

Lovely Spot for Natural Beauty and Relaxation!

Published on Jan, 2025

The boat trip was absolutely wonderful! Our tour leader, Tyler, was very hospitable and had a great sense of humour. He did a really good job at ensuring a great time for us all! Lan Ha Bay was such a quiet spot filled with natural beauty and very few tourists - perfect for a day of relaxation and taking in the stunning views. Coffee was also on point - thanks Toni!
