Lan Ha Bay is geographically an extension of Ha Long Bay but is far less touristy. It features around 400 limestone islands, all of which are covered in green vegetation (unlike Ha Long). The water is cleaner, and the atmosphere is much more peaceful.
The tour starts directly from Cat Ba Island. We pick you up at your hotel in Cat Ba Town. If you are coming from Hanoi or Hai Phong, you must arrive in Cat Ba before 8:00 AM or the night before.
