After breakfast, we have a short ride around Cat Ba Island. Cat Ba is the largest Island in the Bay, and approximately half of its area is covered by a National Park, which is home to the highly endangered Cat Ba Languor. The Island has a wide range of natural ecosystems, both marine and terrestrial, leading to incredibly high rates of biodiversity. Types of natural habitats found in Cat Ba Archipelago include limestone karsts, tropical limestone forests, coral reefs, mangrove and seagrass beds, lagoons, beaches, caves, and willow swamp forests.
At the heart of Cat Ba Island lies a visually stunning and ecologically diverse national park. In 1986, 9,800 [98 km²] hectares (approximately one-third of the Island’s total landmass) were annexed as Cat Ba National Park, the first decreed protected area in Vietnam to include a marine component. Park our motorbikes in Beo port, cruise to the Bay, where we do swimming and kayaking. It’s as wonderful as Halong bay but quiet and fresher. We finish the northeast motorbike tours before noon because it is better to spend the other half day sightseeing besides Cat Ba Island. Overnight in Hotel – Cat Ba town.
