We discovered Autour Asia through positive reviews and were not disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our Cat Ba trip! The activities, including kayaking and cycling, were amazing. Our group was private, creating a personal atmosphere with enough space for everyone to enjoy time alone or with the group. Our guide, Dark, did a fantastic job showing us the beautiful scenery, sharing background information, and being very accommodating and helpful with all our inquiries. The food was good and diverse, with many vegetarian options. We highly recommend Autour Asia, and especially suggest asking for Dark!

The 2-day, 1-night boat cruise with Cat Ba island was absolutely worth it. We had an excellent guide in Henry (Huan). He was fantastic, engaging us in great conversations, taking us to fantastic places, and snapping fun pictures! The crew prepared fantastic food, even catering to vegetarian preferences (one of us). The kayaking was great, and we had unique experiences like squid fishing at night. The rooms were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip Cat Ba cruise and cycling !

The best time to visit Cat Ba Island is:March to May: Spring season, with pleasant temperatures (20-28°C), calm seas, and clear skies—ideal for cruises, kayaking, and cycling.September to November: Autumn, with mild weather, fewer tourists, and beautiful scenery. Great for outdoor activities.June to August: Summer, warm and good for swimming, but it’s also peak domestic travel season and occasional storms.December to February: Winter, cooler weather (15-20°C), fewer tourists, but some might find it too chilly for water activities.For the best experience with fewer crowds and good weather, visit from March-May or September-November.
