Lan Ha Bay is located on the east of Cat Ba island, overlooking Cua Van, adjacent to Ha Long bay. This is a very calm bay with an arc of about 400 islands, creating a huge picture portraying the first scene.

Viet Hai Village: You will take the bicycle trip along the village path and go through rain forests and dark tunnel to visit an ancient local house, made from straw, mud, bamboo… to see the local life on a valley of local people.
