Lan Ha-Cat Ba Island
Cat Ba Island and Lan Ha Bay are often overlooked due to their big sister - Ha Long Bay. However, Cat Ba has great assets: less touristy, less expensive, and a magnificent national park. Lan Ha is home to nearly 200 species of fish, 500 species of molluscs and 400 arthropods, many hard and soft corals, seals and 3 species of dolphins. This two and a half day and one night excursion allows you to admire picturesque karst peaks and relax on a comfortable cruise.
