Quick Summary: Hai Phong to Cat Ba is a short three-step hop: a land transfer to the coast, a sea crossing, then a road transfer into town. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours whether you start at Cat Bi Airport or in the city centre. Fares run from about 14,000 VND for a foot-passenger ferry seat up to $13 per person for a bundled bus and speedboat service.
