Cát Bà Island
Cát Bà Island is located in northern Vietnam in southeastern Lan Ha Bay. One of the largest islands in a scattered archipelago, Cát Bà boasts ruggedly beautiful landscapes and coastlines that you can explore on your moped or bicycle.
Xin Chao,
Big islands are always a treat. You get that remote-wilderness vibe, plus you’re exposed to different landscapes and so much biodiversity. Once we rode our motorbikes away from the main tourist strip, every inch of the island was a photo-ready moment.

Eat
Quân Cát Bà (seafood) for dinner is a guaranteed highlight.
Drink
Any local café off the beaten path, nestled in a residential laneway, will give you the greatest Vietnamese coffee experience you’ve ever had. There’s a custom of providing artichoke iced tea (which sounds gross but it’s sweet and refreshingly delicious, especially in that heat and humidity).
Explore
Get on a motorbike and explore every inch of the island with a GoPro camera. You can admire herds of water buffalo blocking the road as you weave through them!
