Great experience - Nice guide. He told us a lot about the national park and the caves. He even had a drone to film, and we could get the videos and fotos later

Gorgeous and fun tour - Trí was my guide on the half day tour and he did such an incredible job! He is very knowledgeable about the area and also a lot of fun to be around. The national park is beautiful and the hike was awesome. I would do this again and I recommend it!

Cat Ba National Park trekking tour! - This was an amazing half day tour with plenty of sights to see. Our guides, Zack and Anh were so lovely. Anh provided us with a lot of quality videos and great direction for nice looking videos. He also helped us get across the difficult parts of the long hike. Overall, thank you for a pleasant day in Cat Ba!

Half day hike and cave tour - Really enjoyed our tour with Anh—the specimen museum at start of hike was very interesting, the hike a little strenuous (rock steps, some high, but often concrete railings to hold onto to help pull up/step down), but rewarding (2 miles round trip, 600’ elevation). Anh made a short video for us—what a souvenir! And took some great photos of us with the views. Also enjoyed the Long cave, hospital cave, and small pagoda. Highly recommend

Half day hiking tour with Trí - We went for half a day tour as a group of 6 people. Trí took us to see a former cave hospital related to Vietnam War and then we went to the Cat Ba Island National Park and climbed the mountains. At the end of the tour he took us to a pagoda. During the tour, Trí was very kind and friendly, he told us a lot about the history and a lot of interesting stories and folk tales. He even took really nice drone videos of our whole group at beautiful spots on the hike. Do get in touch with him if you want to explore gems and learn a lot of information about island. Thank you, Trí! Best of luck.

Cat Ba hike - Hun picked me up at my hotel . Safely and calmly he took me to the Cat Ba national park on his motorbike. Hun was very concerned with nature and the environment. The hike was interesting and challenging. The views from the Lookout were amazing . We also went to the Hospital and Trung Trang caves .

A great hike through the jungle of Cat Ba with Anh as guide. - I can only recommend the hike through the jungle of Cat Ba! It's exhausting sometimes, but it's definitely worth it. So nothing for people who just want to walk straight. Afterwards we ate something and made a little bike ride to continue to the boat, from where we took a little kayak tour. Afterwards we went on to a beach where you could swim. It was a full program, but we didn't feel like we were being rushed. Just great!

Afternoon well spent in Cat Ba NP - An afternoon well spent if, for example, you arrive from Hanoi and have to wait for a boat tour the next day. The views on the hike are amazing.
