Finally, take a sampan to a floating restaurant in the little bay to enjoy seafood dinner. Sleep in the hotel.

Day 2: Cat Ba. Boating.

Cruise to Cat Ba. In reality, Cat Ba is the far end of Halong Bay. Cat Ba still live from the resource that the sea offers. However, tourism is developed and of high quality. The Cat Ba Bay is a condensed of Halong Bay, its labyrinth of limestone so dense that it is difficult to imagine we are in the sea.

We created this itinerary – the floating village Van Gia. They are our personal friends and the relationship with them is intimate, even knowing that some companies now also pass through there.

Last but not least, Monkey Island (Cat Dua Islet) was totally ignored by mass tourism when we propose to stop there. It has got nothing special besides the fact that there is nobody except monkeys and one family who takes care of their security.

Arrive in Cat Ba and check-in Princes Hotel. Again, take a little boat (sampan) to the floating restaurant for dinner.

Day 3: Cat Ba – Hanoi. ~120 km, ~3 h. End of Fantastic Halong Bay & Cat Ba 3 Days.
