Tropical Cruise – 7-Hour Lan Ha Bay & Cat Ba Island Day Tour
Tropical Cruise combines a Lan Ha Bay cruise with time ashore on Cat Ba Island in one day. After boarding at Tuan Chau, visit Trung Trang Cave and the Cat Ba National Park Natural History Museum by electric car, then spend the afternoon kayaking and swimming around Tra Bau. On board, there is a seafood buffet, spacious sundeck, Jacuzzi and water slide.
As a Ha Long based agency, Vivu Halong recommends this trip to travellers who want both the bay and Cat Ba in one itinerary. It suits active families and small groups especially well. The island visit involves walking, so bring comfortable shoes along with your swimwear. For a smoother day from Hanoi, choose the transfer option that matches your preferred vehicle.
