Getting from Hai Phong to Cat Ba Island is a three-step journey: a land transfer to the coast, a sea crossing, then a short road transfer into Cat Ba town. Total travel time is roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. Costs run from about 14,000 VND for a foot-passenger ferry ticket up to around $13 per person for a bundled bus-and-speedboat service.
