Cat Ba Overview
Known as the “Pearl of the Gulf of Tonkin,” Cat Ba Island is a dramatic landscape where lush, jungle-clad peaks plunge into the emerald serenity of the sea. It is the largest island in the north and served as the cornerstone of the recently crowned Ha Long Bay – Cat Ba Archipelago UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Cat Ba offers a raw, authentic sanctuary for those looking to escape the crowds. You must experience Lan Ha Bay, the quieter and equally stunning neighbor of Ha Long Bay, known for its pristine hidden lagoons. Hikers should not miss Cat Ba National Park, where a trek to Ngu Lam Peak reveals a breathtaking 360-degree view of the karst forest. For history and panoramic sunsets, Cannon Fort provides a stunning vantage point over the archipelago.
