Cat Ba Island

Cat Ba Island things to do: a day planned around the park and the bay

The Cat Ba Island (Đảo Cát Bà) things to do split into two days' worth: one on the island and one on the water. On the island, Cat Ba National Park has the forest, the peaks and Trung Trang Cave, Cannon Fort looks over the bay from above Cat Ba town, and Viet Hai village sits in a valley inside the park. On the water, a day boat from town takes you into Lan Ha Bay, past the Cai Beo floating village and its islands.

With half a day, do the fort and the park's central route. With a full day, choose: the island end to end, or a Lan Ha Bay day boat. The fees are set by the Hai Phong City People's Council in Resolution 47/2025, in force from 1 January 2026, and the slip beside this text lists them per adult.

day planner

Plan your day on Cat Ba Island

Pick the time you have, whether you want a boat, and what you want from the day. The plan lists the stops in order, how far each is from the one before in a straight line, and the fee per adult where Hai Phong sets one. Without JavaScript, all four plans are listed below one another.

Four plans follow: half a day or a full day, on the island only or with a Lan Ha Bay day boat. Each lists its stops in order, the straight-line distance from the stop before, and the fee per adult where Hai Phong sets one.

Cat Ba National Park

Cat Ba National Park: forest, peaks and Trung Trang Cave

Cat Ba National Park is the main thing to do on Cat Ba Island away from the water. It was designated a national park in 1986, and it is home to the Cat Ba langur, a monkey found only in this archipelago, which UNESCO lists as Critically Endangered.

Hai Phong sets two fees. The entry fee is VND 160,000 / 80,000 per person per visit (adult / child 6 and over). The central route, the one the fee list names with Kim Giao peak, Ngu Lam peak and Trung Trang Cave, is VND 120,000 / 60,000 per person per visit. Buy the ticket for the route you plan to walk, and ask at the gate which one covers it.

The park lies about 9.2 km (5.7 mi) in a straight line from Cat Ba town, and Trung Trang Cave about 9 km. Both are straight lines on the map, not road distances, so the trip there is longer than the line; ask your hotel how to get there.

The peaks are a climb, so take water and start early. Trung Trang Cave is on the same central route ticket as the peaks. Rock climbing is not on the park's fee list; for Cat Ba Island climbing, ask in town.

Cannon Fort

Cannon Fort and the view over Lan Ha Bay

Cannon Fort is the closest of the Cat Ba Island attractions to town: it lies about 0.5 km (0.3 mi) in a straight line from Cat Ba town, on the hill above the harbor. From the top you see the sea and the islands of Lan Ha Bay, the view in the photograph above, and the town below.

It is the stop that fits any plan. On a half day it starts the day, before the heat; with a boat day it ends it, when the light drops over the bay. The planner puts it first on the island-only half day and last on the boat day for that reason.

Fort, harbor and town are close together, and the fort is the one sight you can add after a day on the water without a second trip. For its opening hours and ticket, ask at your hotel.

caves

Caves on Cat Ba Island

Cat Ba town harbour

The caves on Cat Ba Island are on land, unlike the caves of Halong Bay that you reach from a cruise boat. Trung Trang Cave is part of the national park's central route, with the ticket above. Hospital Cave is the history stop on the island; ask your hotel for its opening hours and ticket on the day.

Hoa Cuong Cave lies to the north-west of Cat Ba town, about 14 km (9 mi) in a straight line, and about 2.3 km from Gia Luan pier, where Halong Bay route VHL5 ends. It is a stop for people coming that way rather than a trip from town.

Trung Trang and Hoa Cuong lie about 5.7 km (3.5 mi) in a straight line. If caves are the point of your trip, the big lit caves are in Halong Bay, on the routes the Ha Long Bay Management Board runs: see the Halong Bay caves page for Sung Sot and Thien Cung.

Viet Hai village

Viet Hai village inside the national park

Viet Hai is a village in a green valley inside Cat Ba National Park, ringed by limestone hills, and it lies about 8.5 km (5.3 mi) in a straight line from Cat Ba town. People live there, and the listed tours bring visitors through by bike.

Two listings on this page take you there. Cat Ba: Lan Ha & Halong Bay Full-Day Tour with Biking, Kayaking, Lunch on GetYourGuide lists biking in Viet Hai and a fish massage there, after a morning on the boat, as listed. Hanoi: 2D1N Lan Ha Bay Cruise and Cat Ba Island Adventure (hotel night on Cat Ba) names Viet Hai village on its first day, with the night in a hotel on Cat Ba Island, not on a boat.

On your own, Viet Hai fits a full island day after the park: the planner places it after Trung Trang Cave. It lies about 4.7 km (2.9 mi) in a straight line from the cave.

Lan Ha Bay

Lan Ha Bay by day boat: Cai Beo and the swim stops

Lan Ha Bay is the bay of the Cat Ba Archipelago, run by Hai Phong; it is a bay of its own, not part of Halong Bay. A day on it carries the day sightseeing fee of VND 120,000 per adult per visit, and the listed day boats below include entrance fees, as listed. Water recreation craft may operate there only between 5:30 and 18:30, and boats may not leave port when there is a dangerous weather warning (Hai Phong Decision 253/2025).

The Cai Beo floating village lies about 2 km (1.2 mi) in a straight line from Cat Ba town: houses and fish pens on the water where families live and work. Lan Ha Bay Full-Day Cruise and Kayak (small group) lists it, then kayaking and a swim at Ba Trai Dao beach, as listed. Kayaking on the Cat Ba bays is as each listing states: No zone announced for the Cat Ba bays (May 2025 report). In October 2026 Bao Hai Phong reported that tour programs on Lan Ha Bay include kayaking among the limestone islets.

Monkey Island lies about 3.2 km (2 mi) in a straight line from Cat Ba town; macaques forage on its small beach, as in the photograph. For Cat Ba Island beaches on the water, Ba Trai Dao on the Cat Ba Local route is the listed swim stop.

Hanoi/Cat Ba: Beka Day Boat, Lan Ha Bay Full-Day Boat Tour names a fishing village and kayaking at the Bright Cave, as listed, and Lan Ha Bay Full-Day Tour from Hanoi, Hai Phong: Serenity Cruises starts at Ben Beo, the pier at the far end of Cat Ba town, with a Hanoi transfer option. The floating villages page compares Cai Beo with the villages of Halong Bay, and the Lan Ha Bay guide covers the bay as a whole.

Every card lists kayaking as the listing states it. The Lan Ha and Halong Bay full-day tour names Halong Bay in its route too; it sails from Cat Ba, so most of the day is in Lan Ha Bay. For a two-day plan with the island and the bay, see the Cat Ba and Lan Ha Bay itinerary.

getting around

Getting onto Cat Ba Island for the day

Every way onto the island ends on the water or above it. The Sun World Cat Ba cable car links Cat Hai island to Phu Long station on Cat Ba Island; Sun Group states a line length of 3,955 m and 6 trips per day, three in the morning and three in the afternoon, on every day except Tuesday. Check the day before you plan around it.

Phu Long station lies about 16 km (10 mi) in a straight line from Cat Ba town, at the other end of the island, so the cable car suits a trip that starts with Hoa Cuong Cave or the park rather than the fort. From Hanoi, one way in is the bus and speedboat to Cat Ba town; Hanoi to Cat Ba Island lays out each way with its stated time.

A day trip from Hanoi to Cat Ba leaves little of the day for the island. Two nights in town make the planner's full days possible: one on the island, one on a boat. Where to sleep, and what the island is like as a base, is on the Cat Ba Island guide.

Halong Bay

From Cat Ba Island to Halong Bay

Halong Bay is the next bay north, in Quang Ninh province, with its own routes, fees and caves. Cat Ba is where the land things are; Halong Bay is where the big caves and Ti Top Island are. Some cruises sail between them, but each bay keeps its own rules and its own fee.

If you have a day for each, put the island first and the cruise second, or the other way round if your cruise ends at Gia Luan pier on Cat Ba. The things to do in Halong Bay page sorts that bay's caves, islands and villages by the time you have.

questions

Questions about Cat Ba Island things to do

Is there much to do on Cat Ba Island?

Enough for two days. One on the island: Cat Ba National Park with its central route to Kim Giao and Ngu Lam peaks and Trung Trang Cave, Cannon Fort above town, and Viet Hai village in the park.
