★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 241 reviews · from $39Our pick

Spend about nine hours hiking through Cat Ba National Park, stopping at Frog Pond before reaching Viet Hai Village for lunch and a 5-kilometer bike ride. A boat then carries you through Lan Ha Bay to a floating house, where you kayak to a wild beach for swimming. Guides such as Phu and Anh are known for friendly, helpful leadership.

“Phu was the best guide ever and we had an adventurous and really funny day together with the group! Best activity for cat ba.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 220 reviews · from $44

Set out from Hue, Da Nang, or Hoi An for a full day in Bach Ma National Park. Hike to Five Lakes, cross streams, visit 300-meter Do Quyen Waterfall, and reach Hai Vong Dai at 1,448 meters. Guides such as Linh, Tracy, Thai, and Dang add useful nature and history details. Bring shoes that can get wet.

“Really great daytrip! Did it on a rainy day, but it was still wonderful. The van was comfortable, the driver excellent. Linh is a really great guide, very knowledgeable about the park and helpful when it came to the trickier (though still very doable) passings through the water. The included lunch was also tasty. Highly recommended daytrip!”

Also got to see the monkey and turtle reserves. Thank you so much!”
