Activities
Trekking
Halong Bay and
Cat Ba Island is a destination for trekking. We suggest the trekking
in Ban Sen Island, Quan lan Island, Cat Ba Island and Titov Island
(short)
Cat Ba Island National Park
One of the popular and cool things to do is a guided jungle trek in
the national park of Cat Ba island. It sounds quite an innocent and
safe activity, but it is NOT and in fact can be quite dangerous. The
guides usually offer two treks, an easier one lasting a few hours
and a second more difficult one lasting at least 6 hours and far
more demanding than the former. If you are not experienced, go for
the first. If you do not have a reasonable level of fitness, don’t
go at all. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes with a good grip on
the ground and clothing that does not leave any skin exposed. If
possible, have a first aid box with you.
Quick Tips:
Take back with you memories or photographs, not pieces of corals or
stalactites, some of which are sold as souvenirs in a converted "key
holder" or other artifact form. If you decide to go for the jungle
trek, make sure you have a reasonably good level of fitness, a good
pair of non-slippery shoes (either climbing or trainers) with a VERY
good grip on slippery soil, and a first aid box.
Make sure you have no exposed parts of your body, as any fall on the
ground will automatically result in abrasions and lacerations from
the razor-sharp rocks on the ground, and I would suggest a first-aid
box as well. Sample the sea food in the local restaurants in Cat Ba
and don’t stick on the "all inclusive" cheap hotel meal arranged by
your agent. Spend the few extra and try the superb local cuisine.
Trekking Starter Guides
Can You Handle It?
If you can walk, you can hike, but start with beginner-rated trails
of a mile or less and then work your way up to longer, more
difficult hikes. You can usually find a sign at the trailhead that
lists the length of the route; remember, though, that the posted
mileage is typically one-way, so gauge your time and effort
accordingly.
The difficulty of any trek or walk depends on daily mileage,
hilliness of the terrain, and altitude. Most walking trips, tailored
for moderately active people, cover gentle terrain at low altitudes,
and many have optional shorter routes. If you need a break, you can
always skip a day and lounge around at the hotel or lodge. But on a
trek, you have no choice but to make it to the day’s destination.
Altitudes above 14,000 feet or vertical gains of more than 2,000
feet per day demand excellent physical fitness. Most outfitters can
assess your fitness level. If in doubt, be conservative, especially
when it comes to the dizziness and shortness of breath associated
with high altitudes.
Essential Skills
Skills needed for hiking apply to any outdoor sport. A course in
basic first aid wouldn’t hurt, but at least know how to bandage a
wound, apply moleskin, and detect the signs of dehydration,
heatstroke, and hypothermia. Learn how to read clouds; knowing a
nimbus from a cumulus can be the difference between a waterlogged
hike and a merely cloudy one.
Gear Up
Everyone needs a day pack; choose one with multiple pockets, padded
shoulder straps, and large zipper closure. And make sure it’s the
right size: When properly adjusted, the base should sit on your hips
and the top should be at least one hand-width below the base of your
neck. Footwear designed specifically for hiking offers better
support and traction. Choose a pair that’s a half-size larger than
your street shoes to allow for some swelling as you walk and to
accommodate heavier hiking socks. Wear thick wool or synthetic blend
socks designed to wick moisture away from the feet, as wet feet is
the primary cause of blisters. Some things to keep in your day pack:
first-aid kit; water bottle; Swiss Army knife; topographic map;
compass; space blanket; and sweater.
Speak the Language
Hot spot: That little tingle of friction you feel on your foot
before you get a blister. Don’t ignore the feeling: Take off your
boot and wrap your foot in moleskin before that tingling evolves
into a full-fledged blister.
Loop trail: A trail that starts at point A and circles back
to the same point without repeating any section of the trail.
Scree slope: A challenging slope of loose rock and shale.
Saddle: A trail stretched over the lowest point between two
peaks, resembling a saddle.
Aiming off: Intentionally erring about 5 degrees off-course when
using a compass bearing and heading toward your target destination.
The benefit of aiming off is you’ll know exactly which way to turn
to get to your destination when you reach the baseline.

just going for the day – don’t!! An over night trip is a must!!!
