All Cat Ba Tours & Excursions in 2026

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!

The ship was very good, the staff was very happy, enthusiastic, especially Minh, Long and Tony and Son, who supported the family a lot. The view in the bay is beautiful. The boat is clean and full of necessary services. Thank you to Le Journey Cruise and our staff.

Honestly, this was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had while traveling. We started by hiking up to Radio Peak in the town center and stayed there until around 5:45 PM to watch the sunset. We were so lucky that day—the sunset was absolutely beautiful. From the top, you can see the sun slowly going down over the bay, with the fishing village behind it. It felt super peaceful and just incredibly scenic. Later, we had dinner at a floating house in the fishing village. What I really appreciated was that they contacted me in advance to ask about my diet. As a vegetarian, that made things so easy and stress-free. The food was great and everything was well prepared. After dinner, we went out to the middle of Lan Ha Bay for bioluminescent kayaking—and this was definitely the highlight for me. Even on the boat, we could already see the water glowing a little bit. But once we got into the kayak, it was just… wow. Every time we moved the paddle or touched the water, it lit up like magic—seriously like something out of Life of Pi. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. Our guide spoke really good English and explained that we were actually quite lucky, because the water doesn’t always glow that brightly. That made the experience feel even more special. And kayaking in the dark, under a sky full of stars, was just unreal. If you’re coming to Cat Ba, especially around March or April, I 100% recommend trying this with Cat Ba Local. It’s something you really shouldn’t miss.
