Discover the natural beauty of Lan Ha Bay on an afternoon adventure combining scenic boat cruising, sunset kayaking, bioluminescent plankton, and authentic local cuisine.
Hotel Pickup & Boat Journey
We'll pick you up directly from your hotel in Cat Ba Town between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Our team will get in touch with you beforehand to arrange and confirm your exact pickup time.
Upon arrival at Cai Beo Pier, you'll board our boat and begin cruising through the spectacular limestone landscapes of Lan Ha Bay.
Along the way, we'll pass Cai Beo Floating Fishing Village, one of Vietnam's historic fishing communities, where you can observe traditional floating houses and the daily life of local fishermen.
Monkey Island & Sunset Scenery
As we cruise past Monkey Island, enjoy the peaceful coastal scenery and beautiful views of the surrounding limestone cliffs.
During the golden hour, you may also spot wild monkeys along the shoreline, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Sunset Kayaking
As the afternoon light softens, we'll reach a quiet area of Lan Ha Bay for approximately one hour of kayaking.
Paddle through calm waters, explore the surrounding limestone scenery, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the bay as the sun begins to set.
Bioluminescent Plankton Experience
After kayaking, we'll head to a designated floating house where you can discover the fascinating phenomenon of bioluminescent plankton.
When conditions are favourable, tiny marine organisms create beautiful flashes of natural light as the water moves, making the experience feel truly magical.
This is a unique natural phenomenon that is best enjoyed in person, as its brightness and visibility vary depending on weather, water conditions, moonlight, and natural plankton activity.
Please note that kayaking and swimming are not permitted during the nighttime plankton-watching activity due to local regulations.
Homemade Vietnamese Family Dinner
After the adventure, we'll return to Cai Beo Pier and head to our local restaurant.
Enjoy a homemade Vietnamese family-style dinner featuring a selection of traditional dishes prepared with care. Vegetarian options can be arranged upon request.
It's a wonderful opportunity to relax, enjoy local food, and experience the warm hospitality of Cat Ba.
After dinner, we'll arrange transport back to your hotel.
