What To Expect
Cat Ba National Park
Cat Ba National Park is an exceptionally unique park within Vietnam's national park system, being the first in the country established with both forest and marine ecosystems. As the core zone of the Cat Ba Archipelago World Biosphere Reserve and a Special National Monument and Scenic Site, Cat Ba National Park is a prime example of typical Asian tropical and subtropical marine-island ecosystems. These include primary tropical rainforests on limestone islands, mangrove forests, coral reefs, intertidal zones, cave ecosystems, saltwater lakes, bays, coves, and lagoons. These ecosystems are adjacent and interconnected, creating an incredibly rich landscape and habitat. The park is also the only conservation area in Vietnam and the world that sustains small populations of the Cat Ba Langur.
Dộng Trung Trang
Located just a 10-minute walk from the Park Headquarters and 1 km south of the National Park's center, next to the road to Cat Ba Town, Trung Trang Cave is one of the largest and most representative caves in the Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve. It is a highly attractive tourist destination, drawing tens of thousands of domestic and international visitors annually. Stretching approximately 300 meters through the heart of a limestone mountain, the cave features countless stunning stalactites in myriad fascinating shapes. Stepping through the entrance, visitors are not only amazed by the incredible beauty and unique natural formations but also introduced to a local legend about Cat Ba Island. They are sure to be impressed and delighted by the spectacular stalactites and the colony of bats hanging within the cave.

5.00A lovely afternoon hiking around the national park and through some caves. Gecko was a great guide, very friendly and informative. Be prepared for plenty of hiking/climbing - it can be quite steep at points but the views are more than worth it.

5.00We had a fabulous trek up the mountain and Gecko was a very knowledgable guide. I’d highly recommend good walking shoes as it’s a slippery path with the clay soils.
Great trek and knowledgeable staff

5.00It was a wonderful afternoon. The hike is steep but only takes about 1.5 hours. Then you’re rewarded with an amazing view. The grottoes are super interesting. Canh is very kind; we had great conversations. He knows the area well, keeps an eye on everything, and is very caring. He even brought snacks and drinks. A truly great tour guide.
