Itinerary

  1. Cat Ba National Park

    2 hours Admission included

    Cat Ba National Park is an exceptionally unique park within Vietnam's national park system, being the first in the country established with both forest and marine ecosystems. As the core zone of the Cat Ba Archipelago World Biosphere Reserve and a Special National Monument and Scenic Site, Cat Ba National Park is a prime example of typical Asian tropical and subtropical marine-island ecosystems. These include primary tropical rainforests on limestone islands, mangrove forests, coral reefs, intertidal zones, cave ecosystems, saltwater lakes, bays, coves, and lagoons. These ecosystems are adjacent and interconnected, creating an incredibly rich landscape and habitat. The park is also the only conservation area in Vietnam and the world that sustains small populations of the Cat Ba Langur.

  2. Dộng Trung Trang

    40 min Admission included

    Located just a 10-minute walk from the Park Headquarters and 1 km south of the National Park's center, next to the road to Cat Ba Town, Trung Trang Cave is one of the largest and most representative caves in the Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve. It is a highly attractive tourist destination, drawing tens of thousands of domestic and international visitors annually.

    Stretching approximately 300 meters through the heart of a limestone mountain, the cave features countless stunning stalactites in myriad fascinating shapes. Stepping through the entrance, visitors are not only amazed by the incredible beauty and unique natural formations but also introduced to a local legend about Cat Ba Island. They are sure to be impressed and delighted by the spectacular stalactites and the colony of bats hanging within the cave.

  3. Hospital Cave

    40 min Admission not included

    Quan Y Cave (Military Medical Cave) is the most unique among the hundreds of large and small caves in the Cat Ba Archipelago area. It not only showcases the distinctive structure of coastal limestone mountain systems but also reflects the extraordinary creativity and combat resilience of humans. This site recorded many glorious victories of our military and people during the years of resistance against the Americans.

    Located midway up the mountain, right along the island-crossing road, Quan Y Cave was formed by nature and later modified by humans. Previously, it was called Hung Son Cave, named after the young man from Cat Island who assisted the king in fighting the An invaders. During the war, the cave was repurposed into a military hospital, hence the name Quan Y Cave (This is an option; you can purchase your own tickets if you wish to visit.).
