Begin your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup. Arrive at the National Park entrance, pay the entrance fee, and embark on an invigorating trek. Immerse yourself in the vibrant tropical forest as you encounter an array of wildlife, including agile minks, curious squirrels, playful monkeys, colorful butterflies, and perhaps even the elusive yellow-headed langur, a rare primate listed in the Red Book. Conquer three mountains known locally as “Ang Vắt,” “Mây Bầu,” and “Ang Phay.”

After completing a 2.5-hour trek covering approximately 6 kilometers, reach the Frog Pond, the largest freshwater lake nestled amidst the National Forest. From the pond’s depths, towering “Va Nuoc” trees reach skyward, a species unique to the Frog Pond and found nowhere else on Cat Ba Island. Observe the diverse fish and crab species inhabiting the pond, and take a well-deserved 30-minute break.

Continue your trek from Frog Pond, ascending the final mountain named “Doc Dài” to reach Viet Hai village, a tranquil ancient settlement of approximately 100 families. Savor a delectable lunch and enjoy a relaxing respite in Viet Hai village. Indulge in a unique fish massage, where gentle fish nibble on your feet as you soak in the cool stream flowing from Cat Ba’s primeval forest.

Immerse yourself in the daily life of the village’s inhabitants. Take a leisurely 5-kilometer bicycle ride to Viet Hai harbor, where you’ll board a scenic boat cruise through Lan Ha Bay. Stop at a floating home and embark on a kayaking adventure, exploring the mesmerizing beauty of Lan Ha Bay, renowned as the world’s most captivating bay. Relish the tranquility as you immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters of Lan Ha Bay.

The boat will transport you back to Cai Beo Wharf, where you’ll have the opportunity to visit Cai Beo Fishing Village on the return journey. Established centuries ago, Cai Beo bears witness to the legacy of Cat Ba’s ancient residents who transitioned from forest dwellers to seafaring communities, seeking sustenance from the ocean’s bounty. Conclude your journey with a return ride to Cat Ba town center, where you’ll bid farewell and cherish the memories of your unforgettable adventure.

Another exciting adventure with Exodus

Another exciting adventure with this tour company.Our trip was at the end of April/beginning of May and it was very hot !!!! I'm told June/July is even hotter. Phew !!!!Despite this I loved every minute of it.It was a very busy trip but extremely well organised. I very much liked the additional drink stops as it was so very hot. Home made chilled lime was just the thing. I also very much liked Lam pre-booking the meals and us all going together. He found some wonderful places and we had delicious fresh food. There just isn't time to find somewhere yourself. This really worked well.We were lucky to be with a super group of people. Everyone happy and smiling and enjoying every moment..................well................except a few of the group who did get a bit sore. Please do get yourself some chamois butter and padded pants. It works a treat.It worked well having all the cycling in the beginning. The train was much better than I had expected and I slept like a log !!! Whale Island and Halong Bay were real treats and I would have loved more time there. But, overall, the trip was perfect for timing as it kept us within the 15 day Visa limit and we saw and did so much.Despite being informed in writing by the tour operator that our big holdalls/suitcase stays with us all the time......this was not the case. You do need to have a rucksack or flat pack bag big enough for the one and two night stays (Whale Island and Halong Bay). In fact......it works very well to just take small luggage. Much easier to do once you get your head around it.I found the cycling easy compared with other trips I've done but I do feel it is right to be called a Level 3. Everyone cycles slightly differently and there is always a bit of a mix of abilities........which makes for a good group cycle I think

Fantastic Trip

I am a little late in posting a review. We returned from this trip in early March, right when everything started to close down due to Covid-19. I can tell you that the memories of this trip have kept me going while sheltering in place. If you are thinking this might be the trip for you, please know that it is very fast paced with moving from place to place almost every night was quite challenging. The cycling itself was challenging based on ones fitness level. My husband completed every kilometer, while I did about three-quarters of the cycling. A lot of it depends on the heat, but for a female in my early 50s, I found it very doable. We had the most fabulous guide and crew. I cannot say enough of about our guide Son - he was absolutely amazing - taking care of all the details while we enjoyed ourselves. There are plenty of water/snack stops with fresh fruit and amazing snacks (ginger/nuts/cookies). They take very good care of you

Lifelong memories

We were part of a group of 17 who quickly formed a close bond created entirely by the enthusiasm and generosity of our leader. Nothing was too much trouble Long went out of his way every day to make sure we experienced in full life in Vietnam. The trip ran like clockwork, without us feeling we were being rushed at any stage. He made it fun even when we cycled 100 k in a day taking in a very high mountain pass.
