Cat Ba Panorama Travel

From pickup at our hotel to drop off this tour was great! Our Vietnamese guide, Ryan, was super knowledgeable and kept us informed of the itinerary and local sights as the day progressed. We were very fortunate to see monkeys on our kayak adventure. The hot meal was amazing with about 8 dishes at each table.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Lan Ha Bay boat tour with Cat Ba Panorama, and it was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam. The tour was a perfect blend of sightseeing, exciting activities, and top-notch service.

The tour started with a pickup from my hotel in the center of Cat Ba town, followed by a short drive to the Beo harbor to board the boat. After checking in at the ticket gate, we set off to explore the magnificent Lan Ha Bay. Our first stops were Dark cave and Bright cave, two breathtaking caves that were formed millions of years ago. Exploring the caves was a truly unique experience, and the stalactites and stalagmites were simply awe-inspiring.

Next, we got to experience the thrill of kayaking through the natural caves, which were surrounded by stunning limestone mountains. The water was crystal clear, and the experience was simply unforgettable. We then stopped at a secluded beach for a refreshing swim in the cool waters of the Lan Ha Bay.

After our swim, we headed back to the boat for a delicious lunch that included a variety of fresh seafood and local specialties. The food was simply fantastic, and the service was top-notch.

The tour ended with a visit to the quaint fishing village of Viet Hai. We were driven around the village on electric car, which were included in the tour. The village was a peaceful oasis, surrounded by lush green forests and mountains. We also stopped at a local house where we had the chance to relax and experience a unique fish massage.

Overall, the tour was well-organized, and the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was luxurious and comfortable, and the price was reasonable for the quality of the experience. Cat Ba Panorama is a professional and reliable tour company, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Lan Ha Bay.

We enjoyed an amazing day on the Lan Ha Bay tour our of Cat Ba. I can't say enough about ouur tour guide Luu. He was knowledgeable, interesting and courteous, making sure we all heard what he had to say and got everything we needed.

The day trip is an outstanding deal, the best value of any excursion we took in Vietnam. It was one of the highlights of our stay in Vietnam!!! It includes: door-to-door transportation, day-long cruise, swimming, kayaking, a visit on bicycles to a villages, fish massage, plentiful lunch and afternoon snacks. Lan Ha is beautiful -- more laid-back and less touristy than Ha Long Bay, but with similar scenery.

Alright, I couldn't decide between 4 and 5 stars in our rating, but setting it to 5 for the tour itself and unforgettable positive emotios and memories we got. We took 1 day tour in Lan Ha Bay with kayaking, swimming and cycling in the village after lunch. All of the mentioned was amazing, also the lunch had a good variety of seafood. The guide was also super friendly and knowledgeable.
Small tips for others (and also why I was thinking about giving 4 stars): book the tour through your hotel, it will be cheaper, as in the main office they will charge you more, which is strange. Also, free water bottles will be given only before the village tour, so get some water with you. Drinks on the boat are overpriced, coconut is 60k vnd (in cafes 15-30k), tea and coffe 45k vnd, and the amount you will get will be half of small drink glass, maybe 70ml...
But still, if I was there again, I would book this tour.

We had a great moment visiting Lan Ha and Ha Long Bays (one day trip) with Cat Ba Panorama Travel. The crew and especially our guide (Lúu) was very attentive and interesting. We recommend the experience !

Had a best time ever with these guys. Lan Ha bay is a must see destination. Boat was super nice. Lunch was perfect. Truong, our guide was awesome and made the trip unforgettable. Cat Ba Panorama is the best choice on island.

It was amazing. We booked the day trip in the last minute and totally satisfied. Friendly staff, food was nice. We visited an isolated village and kayaked through some sea-caves. Boat's pretty new and comfortable. Highly recommend.

I would like to highly recommend 'Cat Ba Panorama Travel'. We went on a 1-day cruise around Lan Ha Bay:
- super nice crew english speaking
- transport to and from the hotel
- delicious lunch
- comfortable ship
- every time we arrived somewhere, there were no crowds
During the cruise we visited kayaking, swimming by the wild beaches, caves and a fishing farm.
If we had more time, we would go on another cruise from their offer 😀
Special thanks to Luu - probably the Best Guide u can travel with!

Great experience, mostly due to energetic and knowledgeable guide Ryan who explains a lot and joins in with all the activities. We had a wonderful day. Good lunch on board (make sure to mention with your booking if you're vegetarian) and lovely tea break at the end. We were lucky with the weather, sunny throughout the day, but when it's cloudy or chilly it would be less fun I think. Tip for the ladies: take some shorts along, if you don't like sitting in the wet kayak seat in just your bikini bottom and don't want your regular pants to get wet.

We had a great 2D/1N cruise with Panorama Travel. The ship was very spacious, clean and only has three cabins (we booked a private tour for 4 / very recommended).

The whole crew was very nice and the food outstanding and we were stuffed after every meal :-)
Also the crew manages to stay away from big crowds and we almost had every sight for ourselves.

Lastly, our tourguide Luu is an adorable and great guy! He knows everything and is super helpful, funny and friendly. We had an awesome time with him and interesting talks on Vietnam! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful experience with this company. We did a day tour for about 24 euro's and it was very worth it. The boat had 3 floors and the receptionist explained everything very well.

The best of all was our guide on the boat Naomi!!! (Thuy). She was very nice and helpfull and explained everything. She is the best.

We went on a cruise in Halong Bay and it was amazing! Not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because of the great and friendly service of Cat Ba Panorama. The boat is great and the guides take really good care of you. And the food is amazing! Their schedule is very relaxing so you can enjoy the wonderful views for a 100%!

This office provided me a wonderful trip with 1 night sleeping on La Mignonne Cruise. We took a limo bus from Hanoi which was very spacious in 3.5 hours and arrived the last habour at noon. The room was very comfy and clean, hot shower was the best. I had the best sunset in my recent vacation in Lan Ha bay. All the cruise staff was so nice and gave us beautiful and various food with well presented. Especially we had a super excellent tour guide who was always available whenever we need, she spoke perfect English and smile on her face was always shown up, she explained us all the information about the bay which was so impressive, she was also full of sense of humor, we had a fun time with her.
In conclusion, thanks to Cat Ba Panorama Travel office who gave me and my boyfriend a memorable time that we never forget. Highly recommended!!! Xoxo

Best tour guide ever! Our tour guide Wan (definitely wrong spelling) was so much fun. We ended up meeting her later that night and the tour continued. The boat for our Ha Long Bay/ Cat Ba tour was immaculate. The food was incredible and tour was perfect. Not tiring, very interesting and absolutely stunning. They even helped us with our onwards travel. Super helpful and trustworthy. We love you Wan! Xxx

We went for a full day trip of Lan Ha bay, which was just lovely!! The boat is nice, not too big. The lunch was amazing, many different dishes suitable for vegan/veg and meat/fish eaters. The views were amazing we also went to the Viet Hai village, cycling around that area. There was a rice wine tasting and a fish “spa” (fish nibbling on your feet). There was kayaking and swimming and drinks, music and fruit in the end during sunset. All in all great experience!! Would recommend! Ps the crew was amazing as well! Very knowledgeable and speaks English pretty well.

We chose the 1 day tour and it was a great experience! The tour was perfectly organized, we were picked up at our hostel, got into the boat from which we visited the Bay, visited a village, did kayak, enjoy a nice lunch (with vegetarian and vegan option) and were offered cocktails and fruits at the end. The hosts were extremely friendly and caring, they have good explainations about what we were seeing. The boat was clean and comfortable. All this only for around 25USD which is really cheap for all we were able to do. I highly recommend CatNa panorama!

Amazing tour!! We had the best guide,she was so funny and lovely, easygoing and very knowledgeable. The tour was awesome, really nice boat, delicious lunch and snacks, the itinerary was great, really diverse range of activities! I felt like we got to see and experience a lot of the beauty of Cat Ba and local culture. Highly recommend!

Good guide. 650k VND for a day trip around Lan Ha bay.

Everything was amazing.
This is the first time, we have gone to Vietnam. We didn't prepare anything, so we decided to book cruise from Cat Ba Panomara .
- The rooms were clean and comfortable.
- The activities (kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, ...) were extremely well organized. Our activity specialist was always there to guide us and ensure our safety. There was never a dull moment on this cruise.
Amazingg!!!! Please try bioluminescent plankton kayak in the night.
I will keep on my mind. Highly recommend

Took the boat tour with a couple friends. Was great, we took the boat to a fishing village, went kayaking, and swam on an isolated beach. Staff were super attentive and the food was really good. We had a vegan option requested for us when we booked ahead of time.
