5Active exploration of lan ha bay, the village in the national park village with animal wildlife encounters.
Fantastic tour! Everything was very well organized. The tour covered so many fun activities. The boat ride is stunning, it was so fun to swim to the isand bar and later to monkey island. We were able to get closer to the Kurds I. Our kayaks. The tour leader gave us interesting information aboard it the different areas and cultures we passed through. We had some unique experiences in the village and the countryside was stunning to bike through. Our boat had very diverse age groups. And they made accommodations for everyone to get around. While you can just hang out in the boat, there were many active things to do - I think everyone was joyfully tired by the end of the trip.
