Lan Ha Bay tours deliver authentic Vietnamese experiences

Lan Ha Bay tours showcases the natural beauty of this relatively undiscovered part of Vietnam.

Lan Ha Bay is Halong Bay’s quieter, more peaceful neighbour – and in many ways, it’s just as spectacular, if not more so. Dotted with limestone karsts, hidden lagoons, and floating fishing villages, this lesser-known bay lies just to the south of Halong but sees a fraction of the crowds. It offers the same surreal scenery, but with a far more tranquil, off-the-beaten-track feel.

What we love about Lan Ha Bay is the chance to slow the pace right down. Cruising here means waking up to misty mornings on the water, kayaking into caves and coves, or swimming straight from your boat in the warm, calm sea. Many tours include a stop on Cat Ba Island too, where you can explore jungle trails, meet local communities, or simply enjoy a quiet beach away from the busier mainland spots.

We suggest opting for an overnight cruise aboard a traditional junk-style boat – ideally with no more than a handful of cabins. It’s an incredibly peaceful way to experience the bay, with excellent service, freshly prepared food, and a front-row seat to one of Vietnam’s most memorable landscapes.

Lan Ha Bay is ideal for travellers looking for something a little more special and serene. It’s a perfect escape for couples, solo travellers, or anyone keen to experience Vietnam’s natural beauty without the crowds.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
