Kayaking and discovering Hang Vem lagoon in Cat Ba
Half-day excursion tour

Overview

There, concealed behind craggy rocky mountains, in beautiful primeval forests, and under areas of mangrove forests with diverse flora and fauna, is a Cat Ba archipelago gem. Dress neatly for your excursion to the strange deep lake with Cat Ba Pathfinders. It will be an incredible adventure! We'll help you get to your goal in exciting ways! Are you ready for a day of "hard fun" that offers numerous memorable adventures and beautiful surroundings in the calm seas of Lan Ha Bay?

  • Trekking: Exciting on twisting and bumpy roads, appreciating the brilliant tropical rainforest flora on limestone mountains, listening to the “war of words” of the abundant animal population under the canopy of old woods, and observing the fascinating transformation of flora and wildlife from land to water.
  • Kayaking: The lake is vast, with many nooks and crannies surrounded by magnificent limestone mountains! Paddle and kayak in the beautiful waters, where schools of fish lazily sunbathe in the sun, the slope is teeming with fatty oysters, and clusters of seaweed provide great habitat for crabs. The underwater world is a vibrant place with an unending rhythm.
  • Swimming: Immerse yourself in the clear and calm water of a private lake, splash and play freely, and replenish your energy after a long adventure in the mountains and beneath the sea.
