Cat Ba Ventures Halong Bay tour
Instead of booking a trip on Halong Bay from Hanoi, we chose to make our own way to Halong Bay. We caught an overnight bus from Sapa, directly to Halong Bay. From the drop of station outside of town itself, we took a taxi to Tuan Chau where we bought a ferry ticket to Cat Ba Island.
On arrival at the ferry port on the island, we took a cheap green, public bus that dropped us of right on the promenade in front of Cat Ba Ventures. Cat Ba Ventures helped us find a cheap hotel a few minutes walk away, with a view over the bay.
The next morning we did the tour with Cat Ba Ventures.
Well worth it. Unhurried, not crowded, great food and time to enjoy the sights, relax and see the quieter parts of Halong Bay.

Halong Bay Vietnam - Tour with Cat Ba Ventures
Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, Vietnam. We took a tour which we never do with Cat Ba Ventures and loved it!
We met some incredible people from all over the world and spend the day in the pristine bay, green waters and limestone cliffs. There is nothing quite like Halong Bay and as a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, we couldn't have been happier.
We spent the day swimming, kayaking, and lounging all day in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world!

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.

Travel Vlog #23 | Cat Ba, Vietnam
On our journey through Vietnam, we wanted to see the Lan Ha Bay and also the famous Halong Bay. We heard from other travelers that going from Cat Ba gives you an experience, which feels less touristy. Well, we picked the wrong date I guess because it was quite crowded on Liberation Day on Cat Ba. The weather was also not in our favor but we still had an awesome time on the island and on our day trip through the Bay!

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.

$13 Boat Tour from Cat Ba Island, Vietnam
On New Year's Day we went on a full day boat tour from Cat Ba Island. We were picked up at ~8am from the tour booking office and were driven to the boat docks.
Our boat had approximately 12 people on the tour, which was a really nice size.
1. Our first stop was Monkey Island. We were given 45 minutes to explore the island.
According to a few sources, the monkeys are not native to the island, but were brought there (maybe to drive tourism?)
Take a bag of peanuts or popcorn with you to share with the monkeys. As long as you treat them with respect, the monkeys will be calm and happy to be fed. There is an alpha male that will scare off other monkeys to keep the food for himself, so if you he lar him shouting, he's not shouting at you ;)
There are some beautiful peaks that you can hike here. I highly recommend because the view is spectacular, even if you don't make it to the top.
2. Kayaking. We were given 60 minutes to kayak around and through mountains.
After Monkey Island our boat went to pick up a few kayaks that it hauled to the kayaking location. There were single kayaks and double kayaks available. The kayaks were a bit wet, so I recommend you take an extra change of clothes and put all of your valuables in a waterproof bag.
3. LUNCH. 60 minutes
Upon returning from our kayak adventure, the boat staff had prepared lunch. We ate lunch on the boat, which was a really nice experience. Lunch consisted of rice, chicken, pork, egg, veggies, and tofu. You could purchase a drink if you didn't bring one with you.
4. Swimming and jumping off the boat deck. 60 minutes
5. Boat ride back to docks. 90 minutes.
Go to the boat's deck to really enjoy this part of the ride to the fullest. You'll get the best photos and video from here.
When you pass the floating village, keep an eye out for the dogs. It's so entertaining to see them playing and running around.
Preparing for the trip
What to bring:
Extra change of clothes for when you get wet.
Extra change of socks
Jacket or sweater
Hat
Sunglasses
Sunblock
Swimsuit
Waterproof bag
Snacks for monkeys
