Epic kayaking, caves & a floating homestay!
This isn’t just a stay – it’s an immersive adventure into the heart of Lan Ha Bay’s floating communities and breathtaking landscapes. Spend two days exploring hidden lagoons, kayaking through secret caves, and even paddling under the stars to witness glowing bioluminescent waters. Unlike typical cruises, this experience offers a rare chance to sleep on a floating homestay, giving you a real taste of the local water-based lifestyle. This is perfect for travellers who love venturing off the beaten path. If you prefer an authentic cultural experience over a standard Halong Bay tour, and enjoy getting active with kayaking, biking, and hiking, this is for you.

Hi, I'm Tung! I'm all about sharing the unique spirit of Cat Ba Island. Back in the day, tourism here wasn't so organized. But inspired by my family's boat rental business, I decided to create special experiences for visitors starting in 2016. Let me show you the real Cat Ba!
