Viet Hai Village

Viet Hai Village is a hidden rural gem located in the heart of Cat Ba National Park, accessible by boat and a short trek or cycle ride. Known for its untouched landscapes and warm hospitality, the village offers a chance to experience traditional Vietnamese life amid lush forests, rice fields, and karst mountains.

When you visit Viet Hai Village, you’ll step into a world far removed from the bustle of Halong Bay’s cruises. The journey itself is part of the adventure—you’ll either bike or trek through Cat Ba National Park, passing through jungles and valleys, before arriving at the quaint settlement. Once in the village, you’ll be welcomed by simple stilt houses, rice paddies, and friendly locals eager to share their culture.

You can join in activities like cycling through the countryside, swimming in hidden lagoons, and hiking up nearby trails for sweeping views of Cat Ba Island. Some families even open their homes for meals, where you can taste authentic Vietnamese dishes made from fresh, local produce. If you’re seeking an authentic rural experience combined with the natural beauty of northern Vietnam, Viet Hai Village will be one of your most memorable stops.
