Trekking - Cat Ba National Park and Lan Ha Bay
Here is the most exciting trip to fully explore the natural world of Cat Ba Island. Trekking through the ancient forest, spending one night in Viet Hai village, and paddling a SUP or kayaking on Lan Ha Bay will offer you unforgettable experiences. The trekking route is not too difficult but the challenges are enough to make you feel elated when you emerge from the forest and catch sight of the peaceful rooftops in the Viet Hai valley. After trekking through the forest is a fun challenge that works up a sweat, a SUP or kayaking trip from Viet Hai Wharf to Ba Trai Dao Bay will be especially appealing, particularly in the summer, as we'll have plenty of stops to swim and relax in the crystal-clear waters of Lan Ha Bay.
