Description

Let's try your hand at deep water soloing here in Cat Ba, we have the best conditions in Southeast Asia. The combination of large tidal changes and magnificent limestone cliffs make Lan Ha Bay the perfect climbing location.

If you’re a nervous climber that's okay, deep water soloing allows you to push your boundaries. Just jump when you don't want to go any higher or reach the top, whichever you reach first. At the beginning of the tour our guides will set you off on an easy, low climb to start building your confidence up. Your guide will then progressively give you the options of harder and taller climbs to try out. The rest of your group will encourage you from the basket boat. You can climb as much or as little as you like during your time. If you fancy a rest; just chill out, sit back and take in the view, or jump into the refreshing waters from the boat for a swim.
