    Awesome trip!

    Took a private full day DWS and kayaking trip with Nihn. He knew all the rocks and I got to climb to my hearts content. Probably the best fun I had my 1 week in Vietnam

    Deep Water Soloing

    We went for the full day deep water soloing and it was amazing. Especially because we were already familiar with climbing, (around 5c+ to 6b+) there were many cool routes for us to try and jumping off these big cliffs for the first time is definitely something. We were the only ones in the tour so we had the whole boat to ourselves and could pretty much do and explore what we wanted to. There are also many climbing opportunities for beginners, and even if you do not go climbing that still leaves kayaking and other fun stoff. Food was amazing, and special thanks to our Guide Ninh who did a great job showing us around and is a very sympathetic person, would definitely book again with him!

    Great Guide Ninh and perfect routes for our experience level

    Had an amazing day with Ninh our guide who showed us great routes that were perfectly suited for our level. The lunch was great and we were the only ones on board aside from the guide and captain! So we basically got a privat tour for 98 USD per person! There are routes for pretty much every skill level and Ninh our guide was really funny and nice.

    How many days do you need in Cat Ba?

    +
