424 reviews on GetYourGuide

A morning on land to pair with your boat days: a guided climb of about 45 minutes through the jungle to Ngu Lam Peak in Cat Ba National Park, the 400-metre Trung Trang Cave and a local pagoda, with hotel pick-up and park tickets included. Rated 4.7 from more than 420 reviews, from €24.94 (GetYourGuide, 15 Nov 2026).

Starts inCat Ba Island

An air-conditioned car or van picks you up at your Cat Ba hotel for the 15-minute drive to the national park. The walk up to Ngu Lam Peak takes about 45 minutes one way through the jungle, and from the top, 220 metres above sea level, the park’s forested peaks spread out on every side.

Back down, a short drive takes you to Trung Trang Cave, which runs for 400 metres through the limestone with stalactites formed over thousands of years. The last stop is Linh Quang pagoda, where the guide explains local Buddhist beliefs and you can walk up to the Bodhisattva statue and light incense.

The whole trip takes about four hours, and the car returns you to your hotel. Park entry, including the cave (120,000 dong each), is included.
