Nice first experience in the Cat Ba Jungle - The tour guide knew everything about the jungle as that's the place where he grew up so he tells really interesting stories, nice relatively easy hike

1/2 Day Hiking Tour Cat Ba National Park - The tour was very well organised & I enjoyed it pretty much. Our Tour Guide & the Driver were super-friendly & accompanied us through the morning. The hike was really spectacular & we additionally got enough time to enjoy the calm scenery. We even got pictures & a video from a drone on the peak! The caves were also beautiful. All in all a perfect tour which I can highly recommend!

Beautiful view - Yesterday afternoon I hiked half the day. The walk up is tough, the view more than makes up for it. Then visited 2 more caves. The guide gave a clear explanation of everything and paid close attention to whether everyone could handle the pace.

Highly recommended excursion - Highly recommended! Anh picked us up and took us to visit a stunning cave and a hospital cave (which, unfortunately, was closed today). Afterwards, he led us on a beautiful hike through the forest, where we saw lots of wild animals. Throughout the tour, Anh took great photos and videos of us and the wildlife we encountered. To our surprise, at the end of the hike, he had already put together a lovely video capturing all the best moments from the day! Truly an unforgettable experience ☺️ Anh and the driver were also incredibly kind. They even provided us with bottled water and mosquito repellent. Couldn’t recommend this tour more!

Great hike - It was a very nice hike. The view was fantastic. Due to a typhoon warning, the tour was rescheduled. Everything communicated great. Instead we looked at 2 caves and learned more about Buddhism.

Great tour - We had a great tour! We were picked up from our hotel and, in a small group of just three, we started the tour at Hospital Cave, which was really interesting. Afterwards, we went on a hike with our guide, who provided us with vivid descriptions and information. The view from the summit was beautiful! We also saw another cave and a pagoda and felt like we were truly immersed in the island's nature and culture.

Half day trek - A lovely half day treking tour. The guide, Anh was really lovely, helpful and informative with good English. We did a climb through the jungle which was great, Anh spotted some wildlife and we're rewarded with a great view. The caves were good, very interesting as was the information on the Buddhist pagoda. A great morning our, highly recommended.

Beautiful view - Really enjoyed the 1/2 day tour of the caves and hike in the forest. The tour guide was so accommodating by reversing the afternoons itinerary in hopes the rain would stop for the hike later. And it worked! The only thing I would have liked was a little bit much re a the history or details about the Hospital Cave.
