About This Tour

Take a ferry from Tuan Chau Island to Cat Ba Island, part of a stunning chain of 366 islands within the UNESCO-recognized Ha Long Bay Archipelago Biosphere Reserve, established in April 2005.

Upon arrival, we will venture to the heart of Cat Ba National Park for an exhilarating hike up the mountain. The trails here lead you through the enchanting Kim Giao Forest, filled with a rare and precious type of wood that appears on Vietnam’s “Red List” due to its remarkable ability to detect toxins. Next, we will ascend to the summit of Ngu Lam, where breathtaking panoramic views of Cat Ba and its countless mountains await, providing a perfect backdrop for stunning photographs.

Continuing our journey, we will make our way to Cat Ba town, taking advantage of scenic stops along the route. One highlight will be our visit to Quan Y Cave, a natural cave that served as a war hospital during the resistance from 1960 to 1965. The cave features three floors with rooms used to aid the sick and injured. Finally, we will arrive in Cat Ba town, where you can unwind on the beautiful beach and relax after an adventurous day.

What to bring: Sun cream, hat, flip flops or sandals, swimsuit, beachwear, towel, camera.

    We had a fantastic time uncovering hidden trails and admiring breathtaking views on our adventure. One standout moment was hiking to a viewpoint where we could see lush greenery stretching into the horizon, truly a feast for the eyes. While the lunch we had was decent, we wished for a bit more local flavor, but the cultural encounters made up for it, leaving us with lasting memories.

    Our day spent exploring the island was a refreshing break from our usual business routine. We hiked through lush trails, and the panoramic views at the summit were absolutely breathtaking, making the effort worthwhile. The blend of cultural insights and scenic beauty really enriched the experience; visiting the local fishing village was a highlight for us. However, we found the pace a bit rushed at times, which left little room for soaking in the surroundings. Overall, it was a delightful escapade that offered much more than we expected.

    The hiking trails on Cat Ba offered breathtaking views that made every step worthwhile. I appreciated the balance between scenic exploration and cultural insights, especially during the visit to the local village. However, the transportation to and from Hạ Long felt a bit cramped at times, which slightly detracted from the overall experience.
