Your itinerary

1. 08:15 – 08:30

   Hotel pickup & transfer to Beo Harbour

   We pick you up from your hotel in Cat Ba town and drive you down to Beo Harbour, where the boat is waiting.

2. 08:30 – 09:30

   Depart & cruise past Floating Fishing Village

   Set sail and slow-cruise past the Floating Fishing Village, admiring iconic limestone islets along the way — including the famous Turtle, Toad, and Candle Islets shaped by wind and water over thousands of years.

3. 10:00 – 10:45

   Swimming & snorkeling at Ba Trai Dao Beaches

   We anchor at Ba Trai Dao Beaches for swimming and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. Confident swimmers can take a thrilling jump straight from the boat.

4. 11:00 – 12:30

   Kayaking & cave exploration

   Time to get on the water. We paddle through Bright Cave, Dark Cave, and Bat Cave — three natural rock tunnels that open into hidden lagoons. Keep an eye on the cliffs: this is one of the few spots where the rare Cat Ba Langur is still occasionally seen.

6. 14:00 – 14:30

   Stop at a working floating fish farm to learn about local aquaculture — see how the families farm grouper, sea bass, and unique reef species in the bay's natural pens.

7. 14:30 – 15:30

   Thap Nghieng Beach or Monkey Island
