I arranged everything myself using Tripadvisor do book room at Xinh Floating house.I stayed at Xinh Floating house three nights (this is a very simple place, I visited during the dry season they had almost no water left since they collect rain water in about ten big plastic tanks, a shower might not be a good thing). I still do recommend staying with the Xinh family at their floating house. They prepare excellent food, Internet is available but there is no Electricity 220 VAC or 110 VAC only battery power. If one is prepared for a little simpler life than in a hotel this is an absolute wonderful place to visit. The family does not speak English but Mr. Xinh has a brother so he will call him for help. Explain what you want and the brother explains for Mr. Xinh. I did four different tours in Mr. Xinhs boat to three different parts in La Ha bay and Halon Bay. These are absolute fantastic boat journeys one day a kayak was brought with the boat so one could visit Cat Ba national park in a Kayak. The near surroundings of Xinh floating house is very good for kayak tours. You can easily spend several days in this fantastic landscape if you are prepared to stay in a little simple room for a while. You will find Xinh Floating house on Tripadvisor. You ca easily travel from Hanoi to Cat Ba with Cat Ba Exspress it takes about four hours with departure at 11:00. This is a nice cheap bus journey which a do recommend. Book one night in Cat Ba town go to Cai Beo next day and Mr Xinh will come with his boat and pick you up! You can pay at Cat Ba Climbing in Cat Ba and the brother will take you in his car to Cai Beo. This tour is a memory for a life time but not for everyone!
