Cat Ba Island

#bestsunset We really enjoyed our time in Cat Ba Island. It was recommended to us by a local in Hanoi in order to see Ha Long Bay on a budget. Full day cruises were a lot cheaper starting in Cat Ba and we had a chance to experience this quiet, seaside town. The locals are lovely and very hospitable and you will find anything you need on the island.It's full of small restaurants and cute cafes, there's grocery shops and pharmacies. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a budget friendly seaside trip, a little relaxing weekend on the beach or a starting point before heading to Ha Long Bay.

Cat Ba Island Cat Ba Island features a diverse terrain with cliffs, deep gorges, beaches, tropical forests, marshes, and secluded villages. To protect this diverse ecosystem and wildlife, about half of Cat Ba Island was designated as Cat Ba National Park by local authorities in 1986. The park is famous for the endangered Cat Ba langur, a golden-haired primate species with a charming punk rock hairstyle. The island's residents are concentrated in the town of Cat Ba in the southern part of the island. 2. Ha Long Bay Ha Long Bay is a well-known scenic spot in Vietnam, famous for its magnificent and picturesque scenery, and has been included in the list of World Natural Heritage sites. There are more than 2,000 uniquely shaped limestone pillars standing on the calm sea surface, which resemble the karst landscape of Guilin in Guangxi, China, hence it is also known as 'Guilin on the Sea'. 3. Cat Ba National Park Cat Ba Island has a vast expanse of pristine forest, which the Vietnamese government has designated as a national nature reserve, namely Cat Ba National Park. The reserve is home to many precious trees and a variety of rare birds and animals, making it a huge natural zoo of flora and fauna.

SHORT TRIP TO CATBA ISLAND

Just two hours on the roads and 20 minutes of ferry ride will bring you from Hanoi capital to this small island call Cat Ba. It’s a popular island located nearby to Halong Bay and it’s worth to be visited for a quick gate away. The people are great and they a lot of seafood restaurant to be choose from. Nothings beat the calm of the ocean during the morning. Take a walk along the coastal area and you will feel the warmth of Catba. Renting a motorbike not an issue here and they came with a more cheaper price compared to Hanoi. There was a cable car crossing from the mainland to the island which we are not aware of. Maybe can be tried when we visit Catba again in the future.

There’s so much to do on the island, all types of activities to do, different cuisines to eat and places to visit. We were only there for one day and missed our ferry back but that gave us more time to have a look around 😂

Cat Ba Island@Vietnam

Location - Cat Ba District, Off Coast of Haiphong City and Quang Ninh Province, Halong Bay, Vietnam. Getting There - Depart from Haiphong City via speedboat(approximately one hour of travel by sea) Attractions - Despite being the biggest island in the whole Halong Bay, it is still clean and not so commercialized tourist spot. There are so many things to do in Cat Ba that I personally suggested to stay for at least two nights on the island(from beach activities to kayaking to mountain hiking)during the day. At night, do pick a good seafood restaurant and enjoy the affordable and fresh seafood😋. #createwithtrip #travelwithgeo #travelinspiration #travelphotography #staycation #catba #island #vietnamtravel
