Cruise Lan Ha and Ha Long Bays from Cat Ba, kayak through caves, visit a floating village, swim at quiet beaches, and enjoy lunch for $41.47.
“This was a perfect way to see the beauty in both Lan Ha and Ha Long Bays. As the description states, they do take you away from the touristy areas. We only saw a handful of other tourist boats. The water was so warm to swim in. We did go in late April/ early May so it did start raining on us when we were kayaking around but have no fear, our guide Hang he made sure that we were all still enjoying ourselves. He even showed us a few magic tricks while we were on the boat. I would highly recommend this activity while you are staying in Cat…”

Boat road was about an hour which was plenty (they had said two hours but i feel that would have been too long). Temples and walks very nice... More time here would have been better actually. Views were lovely. Be prepared for work out and sweat - but very worthwhile. Lunch was a buffet style free for all.
