Overview
CAT BA PATHFINDERS – A BRANCH OF VIETNAM EXPEDITIONS - INVITES YOU TO AN EXCLUSIVE EXPEDITION IN CAT BA!
This journey through majestic limestone mountain ranges leads you to Hang Vem Lagoon – a hidden gem of Lan Ha Bay, tucked beneath the deep green canopy of an ancient rainforest.
Get ready for an inspiring adventure filled with unforgettable experiences: trek through dense jungle trails, paddle your kayak through narrow limestone mountains, explore mysterious caves, and swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by untouched nature.
Trekking:
Follow rugged, winding trails through the limestone mountains and immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery of the tropical rainforest. The forest bursts with life, painting every slope in shades of green. Beneath the ancient canopy, nature performs its own symphony – birds calling from above, insects humming in harmony, and the gentle rustle of leaves swaying in the wind.
Kayaking on Hang Vem Lagoon:
Paddle through the clear, calm waters and witness the vibrant life beneath the surface: schools of fish swimming near the surface, clusters of oysters clinging to the rocky shoreline, and groups of crabs gathering in beds of swaying seaweed. All around you, the lagoon comes alive with the colors and rhythms of the sea.
Swimming:
In this secluded lagoon, take a moment to completely relax. Submerge yourself in the cool, clear water – a refreshing reward after a full day of venturing through forest and sea. Let the stillness of the surroundings recharge your spirit.
