Lan Ha Bay
Located to the south of Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay belongs to the Cat Ba Archipelago (Hai Phong) and is one of the most beautiful bays in Vietnam, still largely untouched by mass tourism. With over 400 tree-covered islets, crystal-clear waters, and a rich marine ecosystem, it offers a close connection to nature — perfect for activities like kayaking, snorkeling, overnight cruises, or exploring traditional fishing villages. Lan Ha Bay is an ideal choice for nature lovers seeking peace and healing, or simply for those who wish to relax and lose themselves in the vast beauty of the sea and sky.
Three Peaches Beach
Located about 22 km southeast of Tuan Chau Port, Ba Trai Dao Beach is one of the most pristine and enchanting beaches in Ha Long Bay. Named after three small mountains that sit side by side, resembling three peaches, this beach is not only famous for its breathtaking scenery but also known for the romantic legend of a fairy and a fisherman in love.
Van Boi
Van Boi lies peacefully amid the emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay — a small, untouched beach surrounded by towering limestone mountains. It’s an ideal stop for those seeking to escape the crowds and reconnect with pure, quiet nature. The soft white sand stretches along the shore, the water is crystal clear, and the waves are gentle. With its calm atmosphere and few visitors, it’s the perfect place to rest and relax.
Cat Ba Island
Cat Ba Island – the largest island in northern Vietnam – is best known for Cat Ba National Park, part of a UNESCO-recognized World Biosphere Reserve. Often called the “green pearl” Cat Ba offers a perfect blend of mountains, sea, and unspoiled ecosystems. The island captivates visitors with its natural beauty — long stretches of white-sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and fresh air all year round. Here, travelers can go hiking, trek through the forest, explore fascinating caves, or simply relax at popular beaches like Cat Co 1, 2, and 3.
Butterfly Valley
Tucked away among lush limestone mountains, Butterfly Valley is a unique destination in Cat Ba, known for its vibrant landscape filled with thousands of colorful butterflies dancing in the sunlight. Visitors can stroll along scenic flower-lined trails at the foot of the hills and admire rare butterflies fluttering all around. It’s also a great spot for taking photos at eye-catching installations like the “butterfly heaven gate” giant bird’s nest, and wooden forest bridge. Breathe in the fresh air and unwind in the heart of untouched nature.
Cai Beo Fishing Village
Cai Beo Fishing Village, located near Cat Ba Island, is one of the oldest fishing villages in Vietnam, with a history dating back over 7,000 years. A visit to Cai Beo offers a break from modern life, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the simple rhythms of life at sea. The peaceful setting is rich with the charm of a coastal village.
