Full description
This is a 3-hour experience from Ha Long, built around Cat Ba National Park, Trung Trang Cave and Ngu Lam Peak. It is run by Cat Ba Sonder, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
Pickup is offered from Hoàn Kiếm and Cat Ba; the exact spot and time are agreed with Cat Ba Sonder once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Pick-up & drop-off at hotels in Cat Ba town, Transports related to the tour, Trung Trang cave entrance fee, Ngu Lam peak-National park ticket and 1 small bottle of water. It does not cover Services Not clearly mentioned, Extra drinks, Personal expenses and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
Great tour! Our tour guide was incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable. The activities were brilliant - the trek was great fun, and the views superb. As an added bonus, the driver took drone footage of us at the top - this is such a precious memory. The caves were amazing - especially the hospital cave- what a feat of engineering! A great day out, highly recommended! As a side note, payment for the park and cave are CASH ONLY, no card payments taken.
The tour was so good, a lot of steps but worth it. Definitely worth it to go with a guide, learned so many new things!
This tour is as described (although you don’t stop at the fishing village, you just pass by). The staff were very nice, however we were put on a big cruise ship with a group of very loud holidaymakers that made it really hard for us to relax and enjoy the beauty of the bay. We would have liked a bit of information about the bay but instead they blast music and encourage you to go down a water slide. The bay is also very polluted and therefore the water isn’t very inviting to go swimming. It would be great to see tour operators stopping using plastic as it is everywhere in the bay. At the end o
Unser Guide Tchi war absolute Klasse! Dank ihm haben wir sehr viel zu den Hintergründen zu Pflanzen und Tieren im Nationalpark gelernt und hatten eine wundervolle Zeit. Der Aufstieg war auch richtig gut, man kam außer Puste und hatte eine fabelhafte Sicht, die Höhlen sind unglaublich vernetzt und Tchi hat uns erzählt, wie die Leute damals in den Höhlen gelebt haben. Super interessante Tour! Toller guide, vielen Dank an Tchi!
Activiteit was gehaast en chaotisch. Het was leuk om een kijkje in een cruise van locals te hebben. De activiteiten zelf hadden we meer van verwacht.
Meilleur moment! Le groupe était top! La croisière et activités sur place super agréable. Prise en charge à notre logement! Un grand merci à Ti pour le déroulé de la journée ! 😍
Wir hatten einen wirklichen schönen Tag, nachdem wir schon das größte Touristenerlebnis erwartet hatten ^^ Nur wenige Leute, ein großes Boot, ein netter Guide - schön.
Aktivita se libila, neni co vytknout.
De mooie plekken gezien zonder een hele dag weg te zijn! Goed geregeld.
Nous avons apprécié la qualité de service (pick up et drop off à l'hôtel) ainsi que la promenade en kayak et la visite de l'île aux singes. Nous n'étions pas très nombreux sur la croisière ce qui a permis de vraiment en profiter.
Organisation au top, la journée s’est super bien déroulé, le staff était tres sympa et avenant. Le repas était excellent. Je recommande fortement.
Nous avions choisi cette croisière pour les différentes activités proposées (kayak, massage, vélo..). Une fois à bord du bateau, le guide nous a changé nos activités car les autres personnes avaient l'excursion sur l'ile aux singes et nous étions les seules à avoir pris le massage et le vélo. Au final, c'était sympa aussi mais nous aurions trouvé plus correct de nous prévenir de ce changement avant le départ.
