Beautiful bay. But the experience is average. Meal served cold Placement at authority table near the engine, no way to have lunch with our companions

Best experience
Best excursion in Vietnam!! Very good guide, TI was welcoming and funny. We also had a good group, there were few of us, I don’t know if it was due to the season or if it was just normal. Off the beaten track tour, less touristic than Halong Bay. The meal was also top!! Thank you for everything ✨

Super
Really had a fantastic day. Picked up on time and the food was also thick for each other. And what a beautiful nature you get to see. And our trip supervisor Mr long was really great he really talks passionately about his island and therefore you really know a lot more about the island and the surroundings.

최고의 선물에 감사드립니다.
깟바에 오면 대부분이 즐기는 란하베이 & 하롱베이 1일 투어, 상품을 취급하는 회사도 여럿 있고 그 일정도 비슷비슷 합니다. 차이가 있다면 직원이 고객을 대하는 태도이겠지요. 정말 예기치 않은 상황이 벌어졌고 상상도 못한 도움을 받아, 칭찬의 글을 남기지 않을 수 없습니다. 우린 Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village 상품을 이용했습니다. 투어 일정 중 카약을 타는 액티비티도 있습니다. 근데 이를 어쩌나, 열심히 노을 저어 가다가, 그만 휴대폰이 바다에 빠지고 말았어요. 바닥을 아무리 봐도 어두워 아무 것도 안 보입니다. 찾는 건 불가능합니다. 정말 난감하지요, 그러나 어찌할 도리가 없어요. 포기하는 수밖에 ~~ 안타까운 마음에 휴대폰을 빠뜨렸다고 우릴 안내하는 가이드에게 얘기했더니 그는 자료가 잔뜩 들어 있을 휴대폰의 중요성을 이야기하면서 함께 찾아보자고 합니다. 그냥 빈말로 하는 줄 알았지요, 근데 그게 아닙니다. 정말 끝까지 최선을 다합니다. 그리고 결국은 찾았습니다. 어찌나 고마운지, 말로 표현할 수가 없습니다. 다시 찾으리라고는 생각지도 못했는데, 고객의 아픔을 자신의 아픔처럼 알고, 진심으로 대해주는 TRAN NGUYEN TRAVEL TRIPADVISOR 직원 여러분께 감사드립니다. 특히, 마치 자기 일처럼 옷을 벗어젖히고 물속으로 뛰어들어 휴대폰을 건져준 Joe fowler께 다시 한번 감사의 말씀을 드립니다. Thanks a lot!!!

Weak Personnal service
The cruise itself was good, food was okay, but not enough amount depending on who you are set up to eat with. They gathered a group of young man and all of us were starving after kayaking for about one hour and a half. T is a nice person, but he made a very bad and impolite comment to a couple (the guy is latino and the girl, Australian). He said the man got married to her to get a visa because otherwise it would be very hard for him to stay in the Australia. The couple were visibly unconfortable. Also the Irish guy who lead the group throughout the activities of kayaking, swimming etc was clearly stressed, giving bad answers to people who were not sure which way they were supposed to go. I would not pick up this company again.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cat Ba.
How much does Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cat Ba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cat Ba is not rushed.
Is Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cat Ba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cat Ba can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cat Ba and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Sea Star Cruise to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Viet Hai village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cat Ba within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cat Ba?
+
On Outty we rank every Cat Ba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lan Ha - Ha Long Bay - Dau Be island 2D/1N from Cat Ba in less touristy areas., Full day trip to Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay from Cat Ba, avoid the crowds, Le Journey Elegance - Halong Bay - All Inclusive Multi Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cat Ba?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cat Ba?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
