๐CAT BA ISLAND
๐ซSkip Halong Bay
โ
Stay on this island instead
There are many boat tours of (the less touristy) Lan Ha Bay, which surrounds the island. We opted for a private customized boat tour with and it was incredible!! ๐ฅน๐
Our guide provided so much knowledge and insight on life in the local fishing village, Cai Beo! We even got to visit his aunts home on the water. โ๏ธ
We cruised around the bay, kayaked for a while, and spent time on a secluded beach all to ourselves. I highly recommend skipping the over saturated side of Vietnam, Halong Bay, and visit the more authentic, Cat Ba Island and Lan Ha Bay. ๐โด๏ธ
