Really really lovely guide, spoke a perfect English and was really trying to make us enjoy the experience as much as possible. Swimming at sunset was amazing, as much as kayaking in the dark to scout the bioluminescent plankton. They even arranged a taxi to bring us back to the hostel that was not initially in their plan for the bus to come back to.

Chans was an amazing tour guide. We went to such beautiful areas that were not surrounded by any tourists, it felt like it was all for us! We had such an amazing time. Then we finished with a barbecue dinner which was delicious, and the fisherman’s village was so lovely as well. Thank you so much Chans!!

The entire tour with Tienh was absolutely incredible. After getting our gear ready we got into the kayaks and set off. It was very relaxed and there were some small breaks on the way to every place to rest and enjoy the beauty around us. We saw local fishermen harvesting the mussels that had been growing for 2 years, went to the dark cave and had a little adventure with headtorches searching for crabs in the dark before getting to the inner lake, went to the fishing village by night and had a self-caught dinner with fish, mussels and homemade food from Tienh on a bonfire on a deserted beach under the stars. It was back to basics and absolutely amazing (and delicious). Besides these ‘activities’ the views of Lan Ha Bay were stunning all day. Tienh is a top-notch guy, very nice and relaxed. We had a super day with him.
