Cat Ba island
This
is an oasis where you can be apart for one or a few days during a
long voyage. If starting from
Halong
Wharf

swimming, visiting spectacular karsts and having fresh sea food. In
a single word, you can contemplate the beautiful scenery of Halong
before reaching the island. You can also buy a ticket of the
hydrofoil departing from
Hai Phong Seaport to reach Cat Ba if your
itinerary saves Halong for another visit. With an area of 356 square km wide, Cat Ba encompasses forested zones, coastal mangrove and freshwater swamps, beaches, caves, and waterfalls. In 1986, the Northeast side of the island was designated a National Park, including a protected marine zone. Cat Ba Island supports a population of over 20,000, most of whom live off fishing or farming in the South, in and around Cat Ba Town. The town is small and ancient, with clusters of fishing boats and inspiring sunsets across the harbor. You can check out the catch of the day in the early morning , see cuttlefish dried over hot charcoals, or stroll around the old town.
