To offer a more unique experience with a sense of tranquility and unspoiled nature, the journey begins at Beo Pier, the furthest tourist pier on the island.

In Hai Phong, take the sea-crossing road from Tan Vu to Lach Huyen port, enjoying scenic views of Dinh Vu port. Travel to Cai Vieng from Got Pier or Dong Bai Pier.
Cat Ba Island
10:15 – 10:30 Reach "CAT BA PEARL ISLAND." Drive on a scenic road between the sea and the green mountains of Cat Ba National Park.

Great tour of Cat Ba National Park, and Lan Ha Bay

5.00I went in the 2 day/1 night Cat Ba island and Lan Ha Bay cruise. The first day involved hiking in Cat Ba National Park and visiting the Bat caves, and Hospital cave (a hospital bunker during the Vietnam war - fascinating!), all of which I would recommend. The Lan Ha bay cruise on Day 2 was an absolute highlight, with great photos to be taken from the cruise ship, on the rowing boats going through caves, and then kayaking through the bay and swimming/resting at a beach, and towels provided. Furthermore, the bay was quiet with only a few boats, unlike Halong Bay which looked absolutely packed! I chose the all inclusive package, which included lunch dinner, hotel breakfast and then lunch and tea on day. The food served on the cruise was fantastic, and the hotel that was booked exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and spoke English which was handy for the majority of attendants. I would recommend the Cat Ba Express, the bus and ship were good quality both inside and out, clean and well maintained, and as was the speedboat that transferred us from the mainland to Cat Ba Island.
Absolutely wonderful

3.00Over 3.5 hours from central Hanoi to get there, via an hour-plus in Hanoi's hideous gridlock. That's followed by a short boat ride between two grotty "ports" and then another bus ride across Cat Ba island (nothing to see there at all). Finally got on the Serenity boat and it's very plush. Very good staff, great big windows for viewing and the hot tub at the back was very welcome - we went late January when the weather was about 20C and grey skies. The food was beautifully presented, but very small portions. If you're at all picky, you would be left hungry. Kayaking into the lagoon was nice and peaceful. If you're on this tour instead of Halong Bay, you notice an almost complete lack of other tourists, which makes it much better, the reason we chose it. The biggest thing I would say is if it's grey skies, those big rocks and the sea look very dull, which is a real shame.
