★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 312 reviews · 4 hours · from $22Our pick

Hike Cat Ba National Park, explore wartime and limestone caves, visit a pagoda, and enjoy sweeping island views with a local guide.

“A fun hike through the beautiful natural park at Cat Ba island! Our guide Tri was great, very informative and made the day fun. He also was looking out for us throughout the hike and let us know about the plants/bugs to avoid touching. The hike was great fun although you definitely need a reasonable level of fitness to do it as there was some scrambling up quite steep steps and rocks. The caves were great and there was some great history and culture thrown in as well. The driving was also punctual and comfortable. All in all this was a great tour!”

Highly recommended daytrip!”

11.Cat Ba: National Park Trek, Village Visit and Kayak Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5 reviews · from $66

Trek Cat Ba National Park, visit Viet Hai Village, enjoy a local lunch, cycle quiet lanes, and kayak through Lan Ha Bay in one full day.

“Hiking - walking - biking - canoeing, it was still a pretty sporty day. The last two mountains are to be climbed by climbing steep rocks (you still need to be in good physical health). Bringing good sneakers or walking shoes is a plus. It is an excursion that is still worth the detour because the Viet Haï village and nature are peaceful and you feel far from the tourist crowds. A small boat picked us up at the small port, which made the end of the day very pleasant and gives charm to this navigation in the bay.”
