Travel Itinerary
Full day Itinerary - Trekking in Cat Ba National Park - Jungle Cross
08:00 AM: Into the Wild (Rainforest Trek) We begin with a scenic drive to the entrance of Cat Ba National Park. Your 9km trek starts here. Under the canopy of the primary forest, you’ll discover a diverse ecosystem of rare flora and fauna. The trail is challenging but rewarding, leading you to the park’s summit for breathtaking views of the island’s rugged topography. 11:30 AM: The Hidden Gem: Viet Hai Village As the jungle opens up, you will descend into the peaceful valley of Viet Hai. This ancient fishing village was isolated for centuries. We’ll stop at a traditional local home to share a hearty, home-cooked Vietnamese lunch, giving you a true taste of island hospitality. 01:30 PM: Valley Cycling & Navy Peak After lunch, explore the countryside on two wheels. Cycle along the scenic village paths surrounded by high mountains and rice fields. If you still have energy, you can opt for a short, steep hike to Navy Peak for a spectacular view over Lan Ha Bay. 02:30 PM: From Jungle to Emerald Waters We head to the Viet Hai pier to board our traditional boat. Relax on deck as we cruise through the stunning Lan Ha Bay. We will find a quiet spot away from the crowds for a refreshing swim or a final kayak session among the limestone giants. 04:30 PM: Return to Reality Arrive back at Ben Beo pier, where our transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Cat Ba Town.
