One Day Trekking Cat Ba National Park

The event was canceled without anyone bothering to inform us about the cancellation beforehand.

We booked this tour via our hostel and were lucky enough to get Anh as our guide. The tour was great! He picked us up at our accommodation, drove with us to the National Park and then hiked with us for 4h up and down six peaks to get to Viet Hai Village. Make sure to pack the water bottles he offers you in the beginning, you will need them :) Anh always made sure that we are okay and that his pace was not too fast, as well as getting enough rest during the hike. The landscape is beautiful and Anh always tried to find some hidden animals to show to us. In the village we had a great lunch (drinks cost extra but the prices are reasonable), had some time to explore by ourselves before we jumped on the rental bikes and rode them to the harbor. Again, along very beautiful scenery. In the harbor we were picked up by a speed boat and taken to a platform from which we had about 1h of kayaking and swimming. You get to explore the limestone from the water and maybe will also see some fishermen at work. Afterwards the speed boat takes you back to the harbor and Anh accompanied us back to our hotel. One more highlight was the video he created of us throughout the tour. (No extra charge) We highly recommend Anh and his tour. Thanks again and hope to see you soon.

Staff was very friendly and well respected :)

We went on the national park excursion. It was excellent, we walked through jungles and saw spiders and monkeys crawling around in the tree tops. Went cycling to a restaurant in a village in the jungle. When at village they had a massive spread of nice food. Including catering for vegetarians. Shared between 5 of us there was plenty of choice and food. There was a couple of American lads and a friench girl. All really nice. Once we ate we went to a fish pond where you put your feet in. And they nibble them. Very odd feeling. Then after that we rode to a boat that took us through what looked like ha long bay for kayaking and swimming. Best day out ever, Geko our tour guide was absolutely amazing, he was well spoken English and a right little bear grills. He brought our group together. He has alot of knowledge of the jungle etc. Over all an amazing day out, met some geat people, highly recommend. But make sure you get Gecko the guide he made that trip with our crazy little group of misfits.... loved it Terry&Hazel

Travel between Hanoi and cat ba went smoothly. Pick up at the hotel was on time. From cat Ba to Ninh Binh we unfortunately forgot something at the hotel. Chien, that was the name of the bus driver helped us very quickly and well to get back. I highly recommend it.
