What To Expect
Cat Ba National Park
Arrive at the National Park entrance, pay the entrance fee, and embark on an invigorating trek. Immerse yourself in the vibrant tropical forest as you encounter an array of wildlife, including agile minks, curious squirrels, playful monkeys, colorful butterflies, and perhaps even the elusive yellow-headed langur, a rare primate listed in the Red Book. Conquer three mountains known locally as "Ang Vắt," "Mây Bầu," and "Ang Phay."After completing a 2.5-hour trek covering approximately 6 kilometers, reach the Frog Pond, the largest freshwater lake nestled amidst the National Forest. From the pond's depths, towering "Va Nuoc" trees reach skyward, a species unique to the Frog Pond and found nowhere else on Cat Ba Island. Observe the diverse fish and crab species inhabiting the pond, and take a well-deserved 30-minute break. Continue your trek from Frog Pond, ascending the final mountain named "Doc Dài" to reach Viet Hai village, a tranquil ancient settlement of approximately 100 families.
Viet Hai Village
During our trekking trip through Cat Ba National Forest, we will stop at Viet Hai Village. Here we will have a foot massage at the fish stream, and have lunch at the restaurant with dishes imbued with the cultural identity of the local people. Next, we will cycle to visit the Village and move to the wharf to board the boat to visit Vinh Lan Ha. Viet Hai is a village deep in Cat Ba National Park with pristine beauty and extremely peaceful. This place will truly bring visitors interesting experiences and discoveries

5.00Top experience! All schedules and instrucrions were always super clear, no randon wait times or confusions. The guide was very friendly and we chatted a kit about the nature of Cat Ba and my own contry, as well as hiking experiences overall. You really know when the guide also wants to be on that trip. I also got to meet other travellers and had great chats with them too. The more expensive price includes good lunch and all tickets and fees, unlike the cheaper options you might find. So really the price is the same but you get less hassle. What I really liked also was the pacing of the day. Good combo and timings of relaxing and more demanding hiking or other sports. You need to be medium fit and agile to enjoy the hike through the park. It is not too difficult, but I suggest to have some experience with slightly more difficult terrain.

5.00Today I went out with Gekko. A friendly, cheerful hard-working man. We walked about 10 km through the jungle a beautiful and varied route. If you are reasonably fit I would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00Hieu was very friendly and took great care of the group, sharing about Vietnamese wildlife and culture. He made sure the group was safe and helped everyone have fun and be silly too - highly recommend. The hike is very vigorous so make sure you’re in good shape to climb up and down uneven rocks.
A day immersed in nature

5.00It was a spectacular trek, climbing the typical limestone rocks of the island and walking in the forest, followed by a relaxing stop for lunch, with foot massage done by fish and to finish a boat path with the possibility of kayaking or swimming in the bay. A busy day immersed in nature. Only note, the trekking is defined as medium but I think it is of a challenging level, at least for Italian levels. However Geko, our guide, was patient and kind and supported us with sympathy, despite our slow pace. Thank you!
Awesome experience 👏 😎

5.00We were very happy to be guided on our 1day trekking by Hieu. He made it fun, interesting, and is excellent in sharing his love for the nature and making the experience even more magical. He supported in the more difficult trajectory and took breaks at the right moment providing us with wonderful fruit, water,and nutritious cookies. It was very nice to be a full day very active (also cycling, cayak, swimming) with a wonderful mid day break for a nice lunch and fish massage (hilarious experience). We really enjoyed today and a grateful for the precious time!
