Cát Bà Island is the largest island in the Cát Bà Archipelago, and is surrounded by some of Vietnam’s most beautiful coastal scenery - Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay, popular tourist destinations for day and overnight cruises to see the beautiful limestone karst formations that rise from the coastal waters.
