Weekend trip to Cat Ba island by motorbike

The first direction follows Highway 5 Hanoi - Hai Phong, to Dinh Vu ferry terminal and then to the island with a distance of about 130 km. However, if you go this way, you have to take the ferry twice, so it takes quite a bit of time at sea: The first route is Dinh Vu - Ninh Tiep ferry (To Cat Hai island). Then, you go through Cat Hai island to take the second ferry, Ben Got - Cai Vieng, to reach Cat Ba. The total time waiting for the ferry, taking the ferry and moving on Cat Hai island takes about 2 hours. Cat Ba has both forests and sea, so you will have many options for your trip. To explore the whole island, you should stay for 2-3 days. First, spend a day exploring Cat Ba National Park - a world biosphere reserve. This is a primeval forest on the island, unique and rare in the world. Many foreign tourists choose Cat Ba National Park as an ideal trekking destination. You should come here to enjoy the fresh, cool air on the island and admire the wild scenery. The beaches in Cat Ba are also very beautiful places, which can captivate anyone who loves to travel. The most famous beaches here are Cat Co 1 and Cat Co 2. Both beaches have fine white sand, stretching along the cliffs close to the sea. The water is clear, the waves are even and quite strong. The interesting thing is that between the two beaches there are trails through the cliffs, close to the sea, very beautiful. You can walk along those paths, and admire the beaches and beautiful coastline below. This is also a characteristic of Cat Ba that few coastal areas in the North have. In addition to the nearby beaches, you can rent a boat to visit Lan Ha Bay - as beautiful as Ha Long Bay, then you can kayak on the bay with hundreds of large and small islands around, visit and experience on Monkey Island... #travel#beachlife#naturalwonders#thingstodo
