The cave tour was incredible! I would have liked to visit a local market or something like that
Review of: Ba Be Nature Escape 3 days 2 nights
Mr Hung homestay was amazing. Very good driving and the driver was friendly. Very friendly and enthusiastic. Expensive for Vietnam but good volve. I wish I could have had more conversation about like in Vietnam, history, culture etc. Hien was knowledgeable and I learned a lot. I would also have loved the guide to speak visit some women who knew English. This was a great experience for our family. Thanks you!

The cave as well as the beauty of the nature and local people
Review of: Ba Be Nature Escape 3 days 2 nights
Would be nice to have fresh towels, hand towel, and floor mats. Clean and A/C was great!. Took excellent care of the children to ensure safety. We appreciated all the photography a long the trip - especially in the cave with the flash lights. We were also very happy that mr Long shared his personal photos with us. Every single person we encountered on the tour - from drivers, restaurant owners etc. They were all so very friendly and welcoming. This was an experience we will never forget

Very nice staff could stay ronger for sure
Review of: Ba Be Nature Escape 3 days 2 nights
Our room was really not as good as the root of the teams taking that we are paying the same. We were in the "basement". Cave experience and the pool was the best that We had so much fun. We didn't get a lot of information about how physical challenging it would be (through kilroy, our travel agency). Luckily we're in good shape and had a lot of fun but everyone might not be in as good. Maybe a bit more information

Love the itinerary
Review of: Ba Be Nature Escape 3 days 2 nights
The tour guide was very fun, very helpful and good English. Swimming in the lake was incredible. After the trek on the last day would allow 30 minutes to swim again in the lake as it was so hot

Explored a cave
Review of: Ba Be Nature Escape 3 days 2 nights
The tour was well organised. My wife and I visited the Ba Be national park. There were some itinerary changes due to the weather but totally understandable. The cave exploration was exciting to say the least and it was an experience of a lifetime. Giang was a great tour guide. A few things I would suggest would be to give more information about the itinerary. We needed to trek about 3km to the cave entrance and it was more treacherous than the cave itself. It would be nice to have been t...Read Moreold so we would be a bit more prepared.

A Memorable Vietnam Trip
Review of: Ba Be Nature Escape 3 days 2 nights
We had the most amazing experience with Mr Linh! We booked accommodation and had a wonderful meal and performance by traditional dancers which we did not expect but was a huge highlight! We also booked a two day one night tour through the jungle and with kayaking and it was hands down the highlight of our one month trip through Vietnam. We spent New Years 2023/2024 with a family at a Homestay and just wow. It’s hard to put into words but it was an I credible night of learning all a...Read Morebout that minority culture. Thank you so much to Mr Linh

I would highly recommend the Tham Phay cave expedition for anyone looking for excitement
Review of: Active Adventure Tour - Tham Phay cave expedition 3 days 2 nights
I would highly recommend the Tham Phay cave expedition for anyone looking for excitement. Lots of caves in Vietnam are quite institutionalised in that they have ramps and stairways set up, they have permanent light fixtures and so on. This is a real cave! There was a lovely half an hour walk through the countryside to get there. The guides were very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, pointing out leaves and plants that were edible and sharing how they're used in local cui...Read Moresine. Then the cave itself was magnificent. The water inside the cave is fresh and wonderful to wade in. The rocks themselves are not slippery nor difficult to walk on. The cave is full of wonderful rock formations but also life. We saw lots of bats and insects. The guides are also very creative at suggesting photo opportunities and can make you look like an intrepid explorer! For the more adventurous, there are opportunities to explore parts of the cave with beautiful rock pools and internal waterfalls. Truly a cave worth visiting.
The homestay is luxurious! The staff are exceedingly kind and accommodating. The home-cooked food is absolutely delicious, and there was even home-made rice wine for dinner. This facilitated ready conversation with other guests already easy to talk to. It truly felt like an intimate and warm encounter with the hosts and with fellow travellers.
The kayak on the lake was also wonderful. It is possible to borrow the kayaks on your own, but the tour gives you an opportunity to go right to the end of the river (before it becomes a waterfall), and to get off and go see that waterfall. Kayaking on the lake itself was so peaceful and the limestone cliffs enveloped the lake on all sides. I suspect it might be a lovely place to do rock-climbing also. My guide shared stories of his childhood on the lake and how, before motorised boats arrived, they would paddle to and from the various shores of the lake for festivals. He pointed out little cave shelters along the shore that paddlers could hide in during big storms. Little stories like these really made the place come alive. We also got to see the An Ma temple, an old Tay temple built on an island in the middle of the lake. He shared also shared what the temple meant to him and his people. I especially loved swimming in the lake. For those few minutes lying in the calm water staring up at limestone cliffs covered in trees, it felt like anything was possible.
Last but not least, the staff were very helpful and flexible in modifying the tour so that I could catch a bus back to Hanoi. They were also very helpful in making arrangements and calling the local bus company so that they would make a stop at Ba Be Lake and pick me up. I really appreciated that.
All in all, Ba Be Lake is a wonderful place and I wish I had stayed one more night to go walking and exploring the villages along the lake coast. There are activities suitable for all levels and everyone from the adrenaline junkie to the laid-back relaxer will find something here for them.
