This is a truly wonder of nature. We booked 02D/01N to explore Lan Ha bay and Halong with a lot of activities such as kayaking, trekking, cruising and visiting fish farms and floating houses. It was by far the best experience ever during our trip in Vietnam

We really enjoyed our boat ride, kayaking and swimming full day adventure! We left from Cat Ba Island and took a marvelous tour, seeing very old fishing villages, learning about the names of the islands, visiting one of the villages, and taking in the breathtaking beauty of the Lan Ha Bay area. It was an experience we will never forget! I could not stop taking photos, every few minutes brought another incredible view as our boat meandered around the limestone karsts. We enjoyed snacks and a wonderful lunch. My favorite part was kayaking in such a peaceful area. Our guide "Son" was fantastic and spoke great English, educating us about his beautiful country.

This is brilliant to visit if you are interested in history. Knowing that the cave was used as an active hospital during the american-vietnam war helps to understand what the war really meant to the Vietnamese. Definitely visit this cave for that reason.

We really enjoyed our visit to these caves. Our tour guide Diego from Azalea Cruise ship really added to the entertainment as well as giving us lots of information. Our group had a range of ages from 5 to 80 and everyone managed the tour without problems. A degree of fitness is necessary and good footwear.

It is a beautiful island with a lot of monkeys. The beach is so clean, pure. Be careful with the monkeys, they will steal all food u bring or buy :)))
8. Cat Co 1 Beach

Reviewed By IndochinaHeritage - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
It's not that kind of Corcovado strip where you can set up a hundred of beach volleyball fields, Cat Co 1 and its twin Cat Co 3 are small resort-size beaches looking south over the beautiful islets of Lan Ha Bay. Both beaches look like they are owned by the attached resorts, but it's great that anyone can access. The low tide exposes large strip of sand while high tide leaves you a narrow sand terrace. Don't miss the Rock Trail - the little passage hanging on the side of the cliff that that connects Cat Co 1 and Cat Co 3. Superb view!!! The rock trail can be walked through from either end. If you don't want to return the same direction, take a detour around the back of the hill to get a better view of the harbor, which is lined with boats and floating restaurants.
