Description

A Journey Beyond the Ordinary

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Cat Ba Town. After a short transfer to Beo Harbor, step aboard our boat and leave the busy town behind. Within minutes, the scenery transforms into a spectacular world of emerald waters, towering limestone cliffs, and peaceful floating villages.

As we cruise deeper into Lan Ha Bay, take a moment to slow down and breathe in the fresh sea air. Away from the crowds, you will have the chance to observe the authentic daily life of local fishing families. Watch fishermen casting their nets, boats gently drifting across the water, and children rowing their way to school,

Keep your eyes on the limestone cliffs, too. If you're lucky, you may spot the rare Cat Ba langur moving among the rocks and trees. With only around 90 individuals believed to remain in Lan Ha Bay.

Trek Into the Wild Heart of Cat Ba

Arriving at Viet Hai Pier, leave the boat behind and begin cycling along a peaceful jungle path surrounded by lush rice fields. The further you travel, the quieter the landscape becomes, revealing the untouched charm of Viet Hai Village.

From the village, begin your trek through dense jungle trails toward Navy Peak. Follow rocky paths beneath the forest canopy as you climb higher, with the sounds of birds, rustling leaves, and the wind accompanying you along the way.

Take a moment to simply listen to nature. The wind through the trees, birdsong, and sounds of the forest come together to create a natural symphony that you won't find anywhere else.

Taste Local Life in Viet Hai

Returning to Viet Hai Village and enjoy a well-earned local lunch at Aroma Restaurant. Here, take the opportunity to relax and taste local flavors in the peaceful surroundings of the village.

Then comes one of the most unusual experiences of the journey: a traditional fish massage in a natural stream. Sit back, place your feet in the cool, clear water, and let the tiny fish gently nibble at your feet.

After your village experience, cycle back toward Viet Hai Port and continue your adventure on the water. Paddle through calm, emerald-green waters at the foot of towering limestone cliffs.

Paddle Beneath the Limestone Cliffs

With no city noise and little more than the sound of your paddle touching the water, this peaceful journey offers a chance to connect with the natural beauty of Lan Ha Bay at your own pace.

This is more than sightseeing, it is an opportunity to experience the landscape and local culture up close, away from the usual tourist routes.

Finally, return to Viet Hai Pier and board the boat for a relaxing cruise back through Lan Ha Bay. Enjoy the changing scenery, cool sea breezes, and peaceful atmosphere as the limestone islands slowly pass by.

Arriving at Beo Harbor, your vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Cat Ba Town.
