We had such a great trip on Lan Ha Bay! We contemplated doing an overnight charter but ended up staying at Cat Ba island and doing a day trip instead. Lan Ha Bay was beautiful and serene and we were definitely able to go off the beaten track. There was little trash and few charters around and we are so happy we went here instead og Halong Bay. We got to see more than the charter boats since we were onboard a smaller boat which are allowed to travel other places. We saw the floating fishing villages, kayaked around Lan Ha and saw a beautiful lagoon and went to a couple of beaches. Since we were the only two on board the trip was very flexible which we appreciated. We sat on the deck at the front of the boat (which we believe was a larger taxi boat) and it was such a great way to see Lan Ha Bay. Our captain was also very helpful and a really cool guy who cooked up some of the best vegetarian food we have gotten in Vietnam in a tiny kitchen on board the boat. Our guide was kind, informative, and funny. The WhatsApp communication before the trip was a bit strange so we were a bit nervous about the trip, but it really exceeded our expectations and we were so happy to be able to enjoy Lan Ha bay without queuing for kayak gear, padling in line, or having to adhere to a strict time schedule.
We had the pleasure of doing a Lan Ha Bay day tour with David. His experience with the area and kind/friendly nature made our day really enjoyable. We travelled with a young toddler (age 3) and he was able to accommodate activities and also food for our son. Even the captain of our wooden boat was very amicable with our tour needs. We very much enjoyed our time and all the kayaking, swimming and food on the tour. Highly recommend David and his tours!
