Our boat will stop at a beach or floating house in the bay to prepare for the kayaking adventure exploring Lan Ha Bay. Throughout the kayaking experience, there will be a support boat accompanying us to ensure our safety and handle logistics such as carrying gear, drinks, and cooking.

After wearing life jackets and receiving our kayaks, we will have some time to get familiar with the kayaks before starting our paddle towards Van Boi, the center of Lan Ha Bay. Here, we will find a few small yet beautiful beaches located at the base of the small islands. We will take a break inside a secluded lagoon that can only be accessed by kayak. We will continue paddling toward Ba Trai Dao Bay, where we will make a few short stops to rest and take photos.

Summer is the most ideal time to visit Cat Ba. The best months for water activities are from April to October. From November to March, the island is quieter, but it's the perfect time for nature exploration and relaxation. July and August are typically stormy months, so visitors should check the weather forecast three to five days in advance to ensure there are no storms.

This tour is suitable for children aged 12 and above, accompanied by their parents or adults.

 

3. I've never paddled a SUP/Kayak before, can I still join this tour?

The tour has a difficulty level of 5/10, so even those who have never paddled a SUP before can still participate. Before entering the water, the guide will teach the group basic paddling skills and safety techniques. Guests will also have time to get familiar with the SUP before paddling.

When booking, customers need to deposit 50% of the total amount via bank transfer or card payment through Onepay. The remaining 50% should be paid no later than one day before the departure, also via bank transfer or credit card through Onepay.
