Your bungalow sits inside Cat Ba National Park
Viet Hai village, where you spend the night in a jungle bungalow, sits inside the boundary of Cat Ba National Park, not just nearby it. Most Cat Ba National Park tours are single-day treks that bring you in and back out before dark.
This tour is different because you actually sleep inside the park, waking up to the forest around you rather than day-tripping through it. You reach the village by boat and explore it by bicycle, with no trekking involved.
