While we cannot guarantee it 100%, our local guides know the best dark spots in the bay to maximize your chances. Even if the plankton is not visible, nighttime kayaking under the stars is still a magical, peaceful experience (and it is completely free!

Un vrai moment de paix

Loin du tourisme de masse. Si vous cherchez la tranquillité, c'est ici qu'il faut venir. Le cours de cuisine pour faire des nems était une belle touche culturelle. J'ai aussi adoré pêcher le calamar le soir avec l'équipage. Rapport qualité/prix imbattable

하롱베이보다 훨씬 조용하고 환상적인 1박 2일

하롱베이의 붐비는 관광객들을 피해 란하베이를 선택한 건 신의 한 수였습니다. 방은 매우 깨끗했고, 에어컨도 잘 작동했습니다. 특히 밤에 카약을 타고 빛나는 플랑크톤을 본 것은 평생 잊지 못할 경험이었습니다. 닌빈에서 출발하는 픽업 버스도 아주 편안했습니다. 강력 추천합니다!

Loved the cycling in Viet Hai!

Day 1 was all about the water (swimming, kayaking, plankton), which was amazing. But Day 2 surprised me! Riding bicycles through the jungle to the ancient Viet Hai village was so refreshing. We even got to do a 'fish massage' in a local stream. Great value for money.
