About us
About Chans Tiến Anh Cat Ba Travel
Chans Tiến Anh was born and raised on Cat Ba Island, where his life has always been closely connected to the sea and the local fishing community. From a young age, he became familiar with fishing trips, floating fishing villages around the bay, and the untouched beauty of nature in this area.
After many years of working in different fields, he decided to follow his passion and become a local tour guide. With more than 16 years of experience guiding tours in Cat Ba, he has had the opportunity to accompany many international travelers exploring the island and the breathtaking beauty of Lan Ha Bay.
Through his years of guiding, he noticed that the number of visitors coming to Cat Ba has increased significantly. Along with this growth, more large cruise boats and busy tourist activities have appeared on the bay. While this development has helped boost local tourism, it sometimes takes away the peaceful and authentic natural experience that once defined the area.
With this in mind, Chans Tiến Anh Travel Cat Ba Agency was established with the goal of creating travel experiences that are closer to nature, more connected to local life, and focused on sustainable tourism.
The tours are designed for small groups, offering deeper and more meaningful experiences while respecting nature. Travelers have the chance to explore the untouched beauty of Lan Ha Bay through activities such as kayaking through caves and lagoons, visiting floating fishing villages, learning about the daily life of fishermen, swimming at quiet beaches, and enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings.
With a philosophy of sustainable tourism, Chans Tiến Anh Travel Cat Ba Agency not only aims to provide memorable journeys for travelers but also hopes to contribute to protecting nature, preserving local culture, and supporting the fishing communities of Cat Ba Island.RESPONSIBLE TOURISM POLICY
