Our Green Activities

The Blue swimmer team try and do our best to help preserve the magic of Cat Ba and surrounding areas.

  • All our activities are as carbon neutral as you can get, with your own body power propelling you through sea, jungles or up cliff faces. Kayaking, sailing, climbing and mountain biking – great for the environment and a hell of a lot of fun!
  • We only use our engines on the boats in case of calm sea, timing, emergency or customer’s demand such as power on boat.
  • We compost all our organic waste and use that yummy compost in our Blue Swimmer veggie garden. Those yummy veggies and herbs then get used in our trip meals.
  • We minimize the amount of packaging on everything we purchase.
  • We recycle all our bottles, cans, paper etc.
  • We use electronic formats rather printing fancy brochures or posting out advertisements, saving heaps of trees in the process.

We welcome any ideas for future action from forward-thinking, consciousness folk who have a love for the environment and a passion for adventure. If we don’t have what you want, or there’s something you’ve always wanted to do and need some help or advice, contact us and we’ll reply as soon as we can.

Tripadvisor reviews

"Amazing Experience"

Two days kayaking in Lan Ha bay. Spectacular. Kevin offered all the info and advice needed to plan the trip and make accommodations. They offer so many more options than what is listed on the website…kayak, bike, camp, bungalows; day trips or multi-day adventures. The equipment is decent. Kayaks are efficient and in good condition, but with finicky rudders and no spray skirt (although you might sweat to death with a closed deck, so I didn’t mind too much). Chinh is a fantastic guide who has spent a lifetime working the nooks and crannies of Lan Ha. The base camp bungalows are situated on a private island in the bay. Basic but quite comfortable and extremely quiet and private. This is not Outward Bound, Linbad, or Sobek…it’s VN. Don’t expect EPIRBS and extensive first aid kits or doting, fluent English speaking guides. DO expect guides with loads of local knowledge and a safety network of every family and fishing vessel in the area; a comfortable pace; a few mildly challenging open water crossings; wonderful fresh food. Bring an extra SD card, extra battery, and something waterproof for your camera. I came back with 1200 images from three days and I’m not usually that snap happy.
