Cat Ba - Dao Ngoc (Catba island, Hai Phong, VietNam)
Quần đảo Cát Bà là quần thể gồm 367 đảo trong đó có đảo Cát Bà ở phía nam vịnh Hạ Long, ngoài khơi thành phố Hải Phòng và tỉnh Quảng Ninh, cách trung tâm thành phố Hải Phòng khoảng 30 km, cách thành phố Hạ Long khoảng 25 km. Về mặt hành chính, quần đảo thuộc huyện đảo Cát Hải, thành phố Hải Phòng. Nơi đây đã được UNESCO công nhận là khu dự trữ sinh quyển thế giới.
Cat Ba is the largest island in the Bay and approximately half of its area is covered by a National Park, which is home to the highly endangered Cat Ba langur. This golden-headed langur is rarely seen, as fewer than 60 specimens are thought to survive in the wild, although it is the subject of a well-organised conservation programme; the Cat Ba Langur Conservation Program, an international NGO that has its office at the National Park Head Quarters. The Park covers both land and marine areas and has a high biodiversity, although it is at risk from too rapid an increase in tourism. Other mammals in the Park include civet cats and oriental giant squirrels.
Outside of Cat Ba town is a beautiful island with much to explore.

About Us!
If you had told me a year ago that we were going to sell all of our stuff to start backpacking the world, I would have called you a liar. Decisions like the one we made start with an inflection point. A point where you realize that life can never be the same anymore. After a challenging, and painful year in 2017, we decided we needed to go out and live the life we wanted to live, instead of watching it on someone else’s YouTube Channel. We had given everything we had, physically and emotionally, for other’s dreams and were ready to work that hard for ourselves. From rock bottom, Chase for Adventure was born.
The Chase Begins
We moved in with our parents, sold everything we own including our cars, and paid off $70,000 worth of debt. We worked 70hrs/week over the last year trying to save up $15,000 to make our dreams come true. Now, we are travel journalists who showcase the beauty in different cultures and inspire others to chase their dreams through our YouTube Channel and website Chase for Adventure. We want to show others that if they want something bad enough, they’ll figure out how to get it; show people who are struggling that they can make the light at the end of their tunnel. Chase for Adventure is more than just a travel vlog and blog; it’s the chronicles of what it’s like to have a dream and do whatever it takes to attain it.

Our day started out with a ferry ride to Cat Ba island from Hai Phong, Vietnam. Once we arrived, we walked to a beach a short distance away. After a few hours, we rented a motorbike and headed towards Cat Ba's National Park. On our way back, we got a flat tire and were racing against the clock to make it to the ferry, the last one of the day. Cat ba

Cat Ba Island to Phong Nha – SOFT SLEEPER train in Vietnam | EP81
It took us 24 hours to get from Cat Ba Island to Phong Nha. We started off with a bus across Cat Ba island, then took a ferry across the small stretch of water that separates Cat Ba from mainland Vietnam, afterwards we hopped on another bus to Hanoi. Once in Hanoi we had to walk 1km across town to the train station, wait several hours and finally board our soft sleeper train to Dong Hoi. We arrived a bit tired and weary, but after refreshing ourselves with breakfast we hired two scooters and set off for the final part of our journey to Phong Nha National Park.

Hi we’re Gem & Alex Swan, in 2017 we quit our jobs, rented out our house and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. We’ve been travelling continuously since then, and have been lucky enough to have some amazing experiences and meet some great people.
Before our trip we were glued to YouTube, every evening we watched travel vlogs by @karaandnate, @lifeofjord, @lostleblanc @markwiens and @funforlouis, and these content creators inspired us to document our travels on YouTube too. We bought a new camera, and started the steep learning curve of shooting and editing videos, and producing travel vlogs of our epic trip!
We have four main passions:
- The underwater world – having scuba dived in over 100 spots over the last year, from beautiful coral reefs to amazing ship wrecks, with plenty of fish and of course lots of sharks, we are totally hooked!!
- Fantastic food – we try to seek out amazing local dishes in every country we visit, and particularly like to eat at local street food stands (but so far nothing beats Vietnam, or maybe India, oh and Thailand is pretty good too…!)
- Beautiful natural landscapes – from the snow capped mountains of Nepal, to beautiful white sand beaches of the Philippines to stunning rice terraces of Indonesia – we like to seek out these amazing natural landscapes
- Local wildlife – we shun the zoo’s and instead concentrate on trying to find local wildlife in it’s natural habitat! So far we’ve been super lucky, Tigers in India, Elephants in Sri Lanka, Orangutans in Malaysia, Whales in Australia and Penguins in New Zealand – to name just a few!

Cat Ba Island, Cost of Living -2019
Cat Ba Island, Vietnam - Cost of Living - Travel Guide
From June through July, Cat by Island is a very active place during the offseason, it is fairly empty, and living on the island for a month could easily be less than $700, making it an attractive place for an extended visa run. The main strip of Cat Ba Island is full of hotels, restaurants, and shops. Cat Ba town is rather small, so getting around town by foot is easy. For many people, Cat Ba may be too small for long term living since most activities are for tourists visiting for a short time and foreign residents tend to be nomadic, However, it can be a great place for a short-term getaway.
Cat Ba Restaurants:
There’s plenty of fresh seafood around town and a few western options too. There are several karaoke restaurants in the bay. You can catch a taxi boat from the pier that will shuttle you to the restaurants. Like Coffee serves real espresso and cappuccino and it’s a great place to try Vietnamese egg coffee. Oasis is an all-around good restaurant during the day and bar at night. Mona’s Rooftop Is your best choice for vegan options and has a nice rooftop restaurant with a chill environment. They also have nice, sea view rooms with balconies. Yummy Restaurant also has vegetarian options and excellent Vietnamese BBQ. Their Thai style soup with a fresh fruit shake is just $2.64 or with a fresh coconut for $2.86.
Cat Ba Accommodations, where to stay on Cat Ba Island:
It’s best to stay in Cat Ba Town. During high season, it’s best to book a room ahead of time. During the low season, many hotels will offer a good discount for a long-term stay. I booked a simple room with a balcony, off the main strip, for $6 per night and stayed there for two nights while I looked around and found this beachfront room, on the main strip, on the top floor for $270 USD for the month. During the off-season, rooms can be found much cheaper.
Getting Around Cat Ba Island:
From Cat Ba Town, you can easily walk to several nice beaches, a few resorts, and many restaurants.
To explore the island, you’ll want a motorbike. The asking price is about $5-6 per day. I asked around a few places and found one off the main strip for $3.50. per day.
You can get to and from Cat Ba Island and Hanoi as well as other cities by booking a bus/boat/bus combo Prices start around 11 USD. I booked my trip through Good Morning Cat Ba and they included hotel pickup and drop off.
Cat Ba Island Things to Do:
Boat trips to Ha Long Bay are the main attraction of the area. A day cruise will cost about $20 per person and an overnight cruise, will be around $50-100 USD per person. I don’t recommend more than one night on the boat since many of the cruises repeat the same activities at the same places on the third day.
Cat Ba Island Tours, Cat Ba Ventures:
Boat tours will usually include several activities like; sightseeing stops in Halong Bay, kayaking in calm bays with caves to explore, a good lunch prepared on the boat, swimming, snorkeling, a stop at a pearl farm and a visit to Monkey Island.
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam:
Booking a boat tour of Ha Long Bay from Cat Ba island has a couple of advantages. They tend to be cheaper than trips booked from other areas and you also will see parts of the bay that are less traveled by the many cruises departing from the mainland.
There are several nice swimming beaches on Cat Ba within walking distance from the town. The beaches have bars and restaurants that are reasonably priced.
There’s a nice walkway around the peninsula that connects two of the beaches. Catba Sunrise Resort has a bar and restaurant, and sun-shaded beach chairs available for about $3.00.
On the point just outside of town, you’ll find Le Pont Club and Le Pont Bungalow Hostel It’s a great place to enjoy a sunset view over Lan Ha Bay.
Cat Ba National Park:
The national park is a good place for hiking. For a small fee, you can hire a guide at the national park entrance. Another place that’s worth a stop is the Temple at the bay by the North Ferry Terminal. There’s a wooden footbridge about a kilometer long that leads to the temple.
Cat Ba Island Climbing:
Rock Climbing is also popular on the island with Butterfly Valley and Hidden Valley are the most popular. Rock climbing guides are available several places in town.
Cat Ba Island Weather – Best Time to Visit Cat Ba:
In general, for the nicest weather, the best time to visit Cat Ba Island is between April and November.
June through August, the energy level is high as the island gets filled with tourists.
If you want to escape from the crowd and visit Cat Ba Island during its low season. The crowds start dropping off in September. Visiting during October and November is an ideal choice.
Some people find the winter months a little depressing, others enjoy the town when it’s calm ant the beaches are uncrowded.

Amazing Cat Ba Island, Lan Ha Bay, Ha Long Bay Viet Nam Travel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cát Bà Island is the largest of the 367 islands spanning 260 km2 (100 sq mi) that comprise the Cat Ba Archipelago, which makes up the southeastern edge of Lan Ha Bay in Northern Vietnam. Cat Ba island has a surface area of 285 km2 (110 sq mi) and maintains the dramatic and rugged features of Ha Long Bay. It is commonly used as an overnight hotel stop on tours to Ha Long Bay run by travel agents from Hanoi. This island belongs to Haiphong city.
Cat Ba is the largest island in the Bay and approximately half of its area is covered by a National Park, which is home to the highly endangered Cat Ba langur. The island has a wide variety of natural ecosystems, both marine and terrestrial, leading to incredibly high rates of biodiversity. Types of natural habitats found on Cat Ba Archipelago include limestone karsts, tropical limestone forests, coral reefs, mangrove and sea grass beds, lagoons, beaches, caves and willow swamp forests.
Cat Ba Island is one of the only populated islands in Ha Long Bay, with roughly 13,000 inhabitants living in six different communes, and 4,000 more inhabitants living on floating fishing villages off the coast. The large majority of the population can be found in Cat Ba town, which is located at the southern tip of the Island (15 km (9 mi) south of the national park) and is the commercial center on the Island. Since 1997, Cat Ba town has grown rapidly and has become a tourist hub for both the Island and greater Ha Long Bay. In addition, almost all areas of the island are deployed with free wifi access points as well as 3.75 generation mobile networks, which can make visiting and working on the island easier
Today, increases in infrastructure on the Island (including the building of bigger roads, dams to build harbors and to protect Cat Ba town from flooding, consistent electricity being brought to the island (which surprisingly happened as late as 1997) instead of having to rely on a generator, and large ferries and barges, able to transport trucks and cars to the Island from the mainland making daily trips to Cat Ba) made it easier for tourists to visit the Island, leading to a rapid increase in tourism and development in Cat Ba town starting in 2001. Since then, a stop on Cat Ba Island has been included in the itinerary of many Ha Long Bay cruises and a strip of tall, thin, five-storey budget hotels line the seafront, receiving more than 350,000 visitors a year.
Currently, over 150 hotels are listed in Cat Ba Island’s tourist directory pamphlet, from cheap budget hotels to flashier upscale resorts, and construction is underway on many more. Right now, construction is under way on the colossal Cat Ba Amatina, an enormous project that will transform the southern coast of the island. The Amatina compound will be a world-class integrated marina, casino, resort and theme park spanning 171.57 hectares and (VITC) will be able to host almost 6,000 residents at a time. The Amatina will boast seven resorts with over 800 villas, three marinas, one international convention palace, six five-star hotels and one four-star hotel (VITC). The scale of this project is gigantic and will basically create a luxurious mini-city on Cat Ba and will attract tourists from around the world.
Cat Ba Island has become the adventure-tourism capital of Vietnam, and many of the activities advertised are nature-based. Visitors can kayak and take boat cruises through Ha Long Bay and the Cat Ba Archipelago, hike through the national park, mountain bike around the Island, spend time hiking and swimming on Monkey Island just offshore, tourist can stay at Monkey Island Resort for real relax time on private beach, explore the Island's many caves, swim on Cat Co 1, 2, or 3 (three sandy beaches a short walk from Cat Ba town).
