Cat Ba: Monkey Island Adventure
Get ready for an unforgettable escape to Monkey Island, a gem nestled within Vietnam's stunning Lan Ha Bay. Part of the captivating Cat Ba archipelago, this island paradise is conveniently located near Cat Ba town in Hai Phong city.
Getting There and Accommodation
To reach this idyllic spot from Ben Beo, you'll need a ticket, typically costing between 80,000 to 100,000 VND per person. For those looking to immerse themselves fully, Monkey Island Beach offers a fantastic place to stay. I personally chose this area and was impressed by their complimentary shuttle service for visitors. Accommodation options range from 800,000 VND to 2,000,000 VND per night, depending on the room type. The island boasts 30 eco-friendly bungalow-style rooms, each thoughtfully equipped with essential amenities like air conditioning, hot and cold water, television, fan, and internet access, including free WiFi up to 3km. For the adventurous, mountain climbing is also an option here.
Exploring Monkey Island
Monkey Island, sometimes referred to as Pineapple Island, might be small with a circumference of only about 3km, but it packs a punch in natural beauty. Prepare to be mesmerized by its majestic green mountains and pristine white sand. This picturesque landscape is a testament to the artistry of marine life, with countless shells, clams, shrimp, and crabs contributing to its unique charm.
While dining on the island might be a tad pricier than on the mainland, the quality and experience are well worth it, making it a perfect destination for a memorable trip.
