Amazing! - Do it! Highly recommended. Picked up from our hotel. Because they used to be our guide picked us up from the room. Smoothly brought to the destination and because of the heat did the tour in reverse order so we would not do the more than 600 stairs in the afternoon heat. We got a very good explanation and as a surprise we were filmed by a drone and we received the images for free via watts app. Very satisfied with our guide Ta Minh Trí a very competent and respectful man. Definitely do it won't regret it.

Great tour - The tour was great – there were only two of us, which made the atmosphere very pleasant. The guide was great and told many interesting facts. The hike was well done, but sturdy footwear is definitely recommended!

Half Day Cat Ba Tour - I did this tour with my friends and we really enjoyed it! The driver and tour guide were super informative and helped provide context to the caves and pagoda. The hike was challenging but rewarding views! Really loved that our tour group had a drone and provided us with the drone footage. Highly recommend.

Amazing day, Challenging But Rewarding Hike! - Amazing views and awesome guide. The hike was fast and steep but the view from the top was well worth it. They even took some drone photos of us at the top! I’d caution anyone with limited hiking/trekking experience - I don’t hike a lot at home and this was challenging, but not impossible! I still had an amazing day seeing the mountain, cave, and military hospital cave. Would 100% do this again.

Nice Trip - We really enjoyed the trip. The hike was nice but pretty steep so you should be fit enough to do it. The bat cave is pretty tight, but both caves are very interesting!:) Everybody was really nice, thank you!

Great visit in cat ba - Great activity! Our plan includes hiking a mountain, visiting the caves and after de hospital caves. Each activity included good guides that explained and introduced a lot of history of this area. We were picked up and dropped off from the hotel with a careful driver. At the end visited a temple and a pagoda where he explained a lot about Budaism and other religions in vietname! It was a very cultural experienced mixed with some workout (lots of stairs and hills!) and amazing views. Our guide was Jack and unfortunately don’t remember the names of the ones at the park but everyone was really nice and an experience that was worth it!
