What To Expect
Cat Ba National Park
Arrive at the National Park entrance, pay the entrance fee, and embark on an invigorating trek. Immerse yourself in the vibrant tropical forest as you encounter an array of wildlife, including agile minks, curious squirrels, playful monkeys, colorful butterflies, and perhaps even the elusive yellow-headed langur, a rare primate listed in the Red Book. Conquer three mountains known locally as "Ang Vắt," "Mây Bầu," and "Ang Phay."After completing a 2.5-hour trek covering approximately 6 kilometers, reach the Frog Pond, the largest freshwater lake nestled amidst the National Forest. From the pond's depths, towering "Va Nuoc" trees reach skyward, a species unique to the Frog Pond and found nowhere else on Cat Ba Island. Observe the diverse fish and crab species inhabiting the pond, and take a well-deserved 30-minute break. Continue your trek from Frog Pond, ascending the final mountain named "Doc Dài" to reach Viet Hai village, a tranquil ancient settlement of approximately 100 families.
Viet Hai Village
During our trekking trip through Cat Ba National Forest, we will stop at Viet Hai Village. Here we will have a foot massage at the fish stream, and have lunch at the restaurant with dishes imbued with the cultural identity of the local people. Next, we will cycle to visit the Village and move to the wharf to board the boat to visit Vinh Lan Ha. Viet Hai is a village deep in Cat Ba National Park with pristine beauty and extremely peaceful. This place will truly bring visitors interesting experiences and discoveries

5.00I have had a pleasant experience with my tour guide Canh! He told us a lot about the floating villages and we had a bike tour through the remote Viet Hai Village. After having had a fish spa there, we went back to the boat to do kayaking together. Tonight we will meet up again for some games of 8-ball pool! Love our guide :)

5.00It’s nice experience to have Loi as a guide. We did full day tour with Aroma for cat ba national park, viet hai village and lan ha bay. Loi is very knowledgeable about the area and he knows a lot of plants when we hiked in the national park. It made the hike more interesting and not boring
A must do

5.00Gecko our guide was amazing! The trek is difficult but Gecko and his aid were there to help. This trek, the village lunch, the cycling around the island and the boat ride to finish the day was incredible. 11/10!

5.00Super good tour absolutely recommendable. Loi the tour guide has a lot of knowledge about nature and tells a lot (but never too much). I especially enjoyed the peace and friendliness. No rushing around.
Great!

5.00We had a great tour with Loi. He knows a lot about the plants in the national park and the tour comes with a lunch break and a tea break. Loi was really nice and explained us everything we asked. You can see he does it with heart. Thank you Loi!
Great day with lots of activities and a great guide

5.00We had a great day, very complete with many activities and very well managed. Our guide Loi was great. He speaks perfect English. He told us many interesting things and showed us plants and animals that we would not have seen without him (including langurs). He explained the museum to us at the entrance to the park, then we made the excursion for about four hours in the bush. A meal in viet hai quite good and forceful. A foot massage with the fish, a bike ride, the boat back and kayaking. It was great. The only thing we did not like is that on the return the owner of the boat offered us cookies, tea and soft drinks as if it were free and when we arrived at the port he made us pay for the coke and the bottle of water (2€)
Super fun as a challenging and technical hike

4.00This trek was a great experience but not one for the faint hearted or those who aren’t fit and agile. It was 14km of serious trek, rock climbing on the way up and stepping carefully down sharp craggy boulders on the way down. Super fun for those looking for a challenging and technical hike. Definitely not a leisurely wander through the jungle! The lead guide was a blast - ex military, and the second guide was still in training but very sweet. Saw some monkeys on the cruise back! I also enjoyed bicycling around Viet Ha
Great experience discovering Cat Ba

5.00We had a great day hiking through the forest, eating a nice lunch and after some rest biking down to the harbour. The boat was comfortable drinks, fruits and tea were served. For those who wanted - a short Kayak loop before heading back to the city. We were super lucky to see Cat Ba Langur spotted by the guide. We enjoyed the great guidance and attentiveness of our guides bạ and cảnh throughout the day.
Great!

Beautiful day in Cat Ba Park

5.00The hike was interesting and more difficult than expected. We walked in the park for 12.5 km with some difficult trails. The 5 kms by bike were pleasant. Then we ate and fish massaged us: for the ticklers to be you - go your way. Our day ended with a boat - kayak and swim combo for the bravest. Overall the value for money is very good and our guide was very competent.
