From Halong

Via Tuan Chau ferry station

Traveling from Halong City to Cat Ba Island:

While the ferry from Tuan Chau Ferry Station (7 km from Halong City) offers budget-friendly departures at 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 3:00 PM (costing only 80,000 VND), there are a few things to consider:

  • Transportation Cost: Additional transportation is needed to reach Tuan Chau Ferry Station from Halong City (cost not included in the ferry ticket).
  • Remote Location: This ferry arrives at the isolated northern tip of Cat Ba Island with limited amenities. Finding accommodation or transportation from there might be challenging.

For a Smoother Journey:

We recommend booking a convenient private pick-up service directly from ferry station when you hop off. This will take you directly to your Cat Ba Island accommodation for a hassle-free experience. Our private pick-up service costs 400,000 VND per car (one way).
Please Note:

  • Ferry Tickets: Ferry tickets can be purchased directly upon arrival at the ferry terminal.
  • Departure Times: Ferry departure times can vary seasonally and occasionally change unexpectedly. We recommend checking for the latest schedule upon arrival at the terminal or by contacting us beforehand.
