Itinerary

Cat Ba National Park Hike, Lan Ha Bay, Ba Trai Dao Beaches, Fishing Village
7:30 AM: Our driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel and head to the entrance of Cat Ba National Park.
8:00 AM: Begin your hike through Cat Ba National Park, walking through lush forests with various plant species, butterflies, and small animals. The hike may be moderately steep at times. Around noon, you'll reach Viet Hai Village, a fishing village nestled in a valley of Cat Ba National Park, surrounded by forests and mountains. The villagers are isolated from other villages and towns on the island, with access only by sea. The community is self-sufficient, growing vegetables and fruits in nearby fields, cultivating rice in the valley, and fishing in the bay. It's a truly unique and authentic opportunity to meet local residents and discover their daily life.
Relax with a foot fish massage.
Lunch with a local family.
In the afternoon: Take a bike ride (or electric car) to the Viet Hai Village pier. Embark on a private boat for a cruise in Lan Ha Bay.
The junk boat sails towards Ba Trai Dao Lagoon through thousands of karst peaks emerging from the waters. You'll feel like you're in a world of creatures fossilized millions of years ago.
Upon arrival at Ba Trai Dao, enjoy swimming at one of the secluded white sandy beaches, all while marveling at the scenery shaped by green karst peaks rising from the emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay.
The boat then sails through Lan Ha Bay towards Beo Harbor, passing floating fishing villages.
Disembark and transfer to your Cat Ba hotel.
