$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

Family Boat Tour ????️ Cát Bà Island in Halong Bay, Vietnam ???????? The Walk Around the World Travel Vlog
Amazing boat tour with family near Cát Bà Island in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Travel vlog recorded on October 23, 2018.
????️
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.
????️
Cat Ba Historical name called Cac Ba Island means Women’s Island (Cac meaning all and Ba meaning women). Legend has it that many centuries ago, three women of the Tran Dynasty were killed and their bodies floated all the way to Cat Ba Island. Each body washed up on a different beach and all three were found by local fishermen. The residents of Cat Ba built a temple for each woman, and the island soon became known as Cat Ba.
????️
Archaeological evidence suggests that people have lived on Cat Ba Island for almost 6,000 years, with the earliest settlements being found on the southeastern tip of the Island close to the area where Ban Beo harbour sits today. In 1938, a group of French archaeologists discovered human remains belonging to the Cai Beo people of the Ha Long culture, which lived between 4,000 and 6,500 years ago… considered to be perhaps the first population group occupying the northeastern territorial waters of Vietnam… [and] the Cai Beo people may be an intermediary link between the population strata at the end of the Neolithic Age, some 4,000 years ago.
????️
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), or even go rock climbing and deep water soloing on the limestone karsts in Lan Ha Bay. With so many things to do, Cat Ba Island is slowly gaining popularity as an alternative to the crowded Ha Long Bay Town.
????️
Sailing through Ha Long Bay is not only a fascinating experience, but is an adventure as well. Our sail boats take you to remote parts of the Bay and ensure you experience its tranquility away from the crowds of other tourist boats. Setting sail, lounging on the deck and having a quiet beer, while we take you to lagoons, untouched beaches, and amazing caves – what could be better? If needed, our sail boats are equipped with motors to take you anywhere, even on still days.
The calm emerald waters of Ha Long Bay are best explored by kayak. Cat Ba Ventures has a range of tours suited to beginners through to experienced paddlers. This exciting getaway combines the perfect amount of physical activity and relaxation. Exploring rock arch, hidden lagoons, and floating fishing villages, you’ll meet locals and discover a side of mystical this World Heritage Site that you can’t get from a tourist boat.
There are now hundreds of tour agencies in Ha Long Bay and Hanoi that offer everything from budget half or full day trips, to booze cruises, all the way through to five-star luxury multi-day Ha Long Bay tours.

????⚓???????? FLOATING DOGS of CAI BEO VILLAGE Lan Ha Bay CAT BA UNESCO HERITAGE Vietnam ???? HUAWEI P30 PRO
Most fascinating for me at the Floating Village Cai Beo was the fact that they had so many dogs patrolling the floating houses and guarding them! I even saw a cat! it is so amazing how that small universe is studded with pets and greenery on the porch and satellite dishes, one might think that the villagers are poor and can't afford a house on the land but actually they seem pretty happy right there!
On the way to the beautiful attractions of Lan Ha Bay that I recommend more than Ha Long Bay, you will pass by this village twice go & return. But there's so much to see with houses on both sides of the lagoon that I needed to go there 3 times (passing through 6 times in total) and still I don't feel it was enough, so picturesque and scenic it was!!
this last time I hired again the boatsman and told him to go slow but you will see it is not slow enough and also we are not getting too close to the houses to not annoy the locals, so I have to zoom in from side to side, house to house, to get the details. For this, my Huawei P30 PRO smartphone did a fantastic filming job! And so I managed to find quite a lot of dogs even though it wasn't easy. Wish I had another pair of hands to also take photos of this all... so...must go again one day!
