What a day on Lan Ha Bay looks like
Boats leave Ben Beo pier (Cat Ba) in the morning and weave between hundreds of limestone islets to Viet Hai village, the Light & Dark caves and sheltered coves. A typical day includes kayaking or bamboo-boat rides, swimming off a quiet beach, a seafood lunch on board, time to relax and a return early afternoon. Sunset and dinner-DJ-fireworks tours depart in the late afternoon.
Six day tours to choose from
- Full-day Viet Hai — the most complete: kayaking, fishing village, swimming, seafood lunch.

- VIP & combos — smaller boats, premium service, all-in packages from Hanoi.
How Lan Ha differs from Ha Long
Same karst scenery, but Lan Ha is quieter and cleaner, with many small beaches and coves for swimming and kayaking. Boats depart from Cat Ba, close to the best spots and away from the crowds — ideal for a relaxed day in nature.
Best time & how to get there
Apr–May and Sep–Nov are best (clear, cool); May–Aug is warm and great for swimming. From Hanoi, Daiichi picks you up in the Old Quarter by limousine and connects to a speedboat to Cat Ba (~3–3.5h, one ticket). All-in same-day combos are available. Hotline +84 96 100 4709.
