We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Day one transfers from Hanoi to Cat Ba, then an afternoon trek of roughly eight to ten kilometres through the national park to Viet Hai for homestay dinner. Day two climbs Marine Hill, cycles to the harbour, and spends the day cruising and kayaking Lan Ha Bay with lunch on board.
Day three explores military hospital cave and Ngu Lam Peak before lunch in town and the bus back to Hanoi. Optional overnight cruise extensions may be available on request through the team.
We built our reputation on northern Vietnam journeys that favour forest trails, island backroads, and Lan Ha Bay over the busiest harbour schedules. Our guides trek Cat Ba National Park often, understand langur habitat and park rules, and pace humid days so you still enjoy Viet Hai and the bay without feeling rushed.
We run compact groups, coordinate speedboat crossings and homestay meals smoothly, and stay flexible when weather shifts kayaking or cruise plans. You join a team that lives this island and bay combination week after week and wants your three days to feel adventurous, safe, and respectfully local.
Pickup from Hanoi Old Quarter hotels around 8:00. The journey includes road transfer to Dinh Vu Port and a short speedboat ride to Cat Ba Island.
Your guide confirms pickup time and location before departure. Allow a full day of travel and activity on day one.
Most departures include hotel pickup in Hanoi Old Quarter when your accommodation is in that area. Your guide or driver meets you at the agreed time, usually between 7:00 and 8:30 depending on the itinerary for 3 Day Trekking and Kayaking in Cat Ba.
If you are staying outside the Old Quarter, the team will confirm the most practical meeting point before you travel. Bring your passport for hotel check ins and ID checks along the route.
Expect full days with walking, transfers, and outdoor activity. Pace varies by product; your guide adjusts rest stops and daily distance to the group.
Tell the team before you travel if you have mobility concerns or need a lighter option on a specific day so they can advise what is realistic on the route.
Pack light, quick drying clothing suitable for walking and outdoor activities, sturdy shoes with good grip, a small daypack, insect repellent, sun protection, and a rain layer. A reusable water bottle is useful on active days.
For cave visits or cooler mountain nights, include one long sleeve layer and trousers. The team can advise on activity specific kit such as swimwear for lake or bay stops.
Night one is a homestay or eco lodge in Viet Hai village after the jungle trek. Night two is a seaside hotel on Cat Ba Island after your Lan Ha Bay boat day.
Shared or private rooms vary by date; single supplements may apply on the hotel night if you want a private room throughout.
Main meals are included on most days as noted in the day by day plan, typically breakfast, lunch, and dinner on travel days. Vietnamese cuisine features fresh rice, noodles, vegetables, and regional specialties.
Let the team know dietary needs or allergies when they contact you after booking. Snacks for long drives or hikes are a good idea, and some evenings may offer optional drinks outside the included plan.
Yes. Solo guests are welcome and often join small groups with a maximum of fifteen travellers. Shared transport and group meals make it easy to meet others without needing your own vehicle.
Single room supplements may apply on some hotel nights if you prefer a private room. Homestay or lodge nights may use shared layouts by design. The team can outline rooming for your dates.
Northern and central Vietnam can be warm and humid in summer, cooler in winter, and wet during seasonal rains. Routes may be adjusted for safety on muddy trails, high water, or poor visibility while keeping the spirit of the trip.
If conditions require a significant change, the team will explain options on the ground. Flexible clothing layers help you stay comfortable on the water, in caves, or on mountain passes.
Bring your passport for the entire trip. Hotels and domestic flight desks may ask for ID at check in.
Keep a digital copy of your passport and travel insurance details. When internal flights are included, passport details may be requested in advance to secure tickets.
Minimum ages vary by product; check the listing details or ask the team before you book. Families are welcome when children can manage the walking, driving, or water activities described for the trip.
Life jackets are provided where boating or kayaking is included. Inform the team of children's ages so rooming and vehicle seating can be planned.
Once your place is secured, the team may contact you for passport names, dietary requirements, hotel details for pickup, and any optional activities you are considering.
You receive practical joining instructions closer to departure. If you have questions about pacing, equipment, or rooming, ask the team before you travel so everything is clear before day one.
About the centre
Hanoi
We are a Hanoi-based team specialising in small-group adventure travel across Vietnam, from jungle treks and national parks to cycling routes, off-road journeys, and multi-day expeditions that reach less-visited corners of the north and beyond. Our guides grew up in these landscapes and work in the field day to day, so you get practical support, local insight, and itineraries built around real trail conditions rather than brochure highlights.
Whether you join a fixed-departure tour or tailor a longer route, we focus on steady pacing, clear communication before you travel, and hands-on help with logistics such as hotel pickup in the Old Quarter, meal preferences, and passport details when arrangements require them. You travel with people who know the terrain and care that each day feels organised, welcoming, and true to the adventure you came for.
Operated by Mr Linh's Aventures Co., Ltd, a partner of adventuro.
