Things to do in Cat Ba National Park

Halong Bay was beautiful, but we wasted time going to pearl factories that we didn't need.

What a wonderful day, everything was perfect from riding the bicycle through Cat Ba Island to canooeing through Lan Ha Bay. It was totally worth it especially because it wasn‘t very crowdy (I think Ha Long Bay is crowdier) but the nature and scenic view was the same.

It was nice experience, cruise staff was very nice and polite. Although if you are an indian then food might upset you they provide vegetarian food but without spices. I suggest please carry some your own etables with you. On cat ba island hotel booked was very nice and they also provided the vegetarian food on demand as well as also added some spices on our request. Over all it was very nice experience. Highly recommended.

We spend an amazing day trip !! everyone was kind and helpful !! we love lan ha bay. would recommand 100%

It was very good experience for me, i think i made the best decision to choose Lan Ha Bay with Serenity. They have good boat, good services, good itineraries, and our tour guide Billy is so resposive and amiable. i’d recommend you if you want to visit Lan Ha Bay, yeah choose Serenity💕

We really enjoyed our tour of Lan Ha Bay with Binh! he was an amazing tour guide and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture and history which made our tour much more rewarding. We especially enjoyed the history about the villages in Cat Ba Island. He is also very funny! The tour was also not too crowded and we got to enjoy the amazing views! would highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! we could see the plankton shine brightly and magically with our own eyes, but unfortunately couldnt capture with our phones. a truly magical experience

The itinerary for one day trip was well-planned and executed by our guide, Binh. There were multiple transfers, bus, ferry and bus again before getting on the cruise. Lunch followed soon after and the spread was delightable with lots of choices from meat to seafood to vegetarian options. After lunch, we headed to Viet Hai village for cycling. fret not if you can’t cycle as there was also electric car to ferry you around. After cycling, there is kayaking, cruise slide and jumping into the water. We saw huge jellyfishes in the waters but it didn’t seemed to bother anyone. the trip ended with fruits, tea cake, biscuits and tea before going back to Hanoi on the same route. Do note that towels are provided and there were 4 WCs/changing room on board. Drinks are chargeable but at a reasonable price. Binh was clear and fluent in his guide, providing a history of vietnam and clear instructions throughout the day.
