Step into the pristine and beautiful surrounding of Co To Island on a 2 days/1 night natural adventure exploring the forest and beach of the island.
Located in Quang Ninh Province in northern Vietnam, Co To Island is beaming with the untouched and beautiful natural wonders reminiscent of its olden days. Its adventurous bike trail coupled with its breathtaking views make for a wondrous adventure and an all-round memorable trip for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city lives. This extends to its ocean as well – its pearl industry is reliant on the blooming coral ecosystem under its ocean surface and it is no surprise that the corals are one of the many reasons why tourists and locals come to the island in the first place.
Day 1 - Ha Long / Van Don / Co To Island (Lunch & Dinner)
From your hotel, you will head to the bustling town of Cai Rong. There, you will board a hydrofoil to Co To Island. Experience the rush of wind and excitement as the hydrofoil engine propels you forward effortlessly across the water surface. Onboard the ferry, you will also have the chance to take in the breathtaking and beautiful view of the ocean and Bai Tu Long Bay for a full 1.5 hours. Once you arrive on the island, you will then take a short walk from the pier to your guesthouse. Next, you will have an easy afternoon of cycling around the island and scouting for the ideal locations for your photo-taking opportunities. Simultaneously, you will also be able to relax and take in the sheer beauty of the island surrounding as you get a closer look at the pristine view of the island’s dense forests. Then, you will also come across numerous high hills and peaks as you make your way to the lighthouse. While the coastline is mostly cliffs and large rocks, it does not detract you from the beautiful beaches found along the way as well. Similarly, you can find fishing boats making a stop at the beach and if you are lucky, you may be able to walk into one of them during the low tide. The water itself could change colour during the evening but do not let this alarm you – it is simply an effect of the green and red corals in the water. In fact, this very same coral-filled ocean bed is the primary source for the island’s developing pearl industry. Finally, head back to your accommodation and spend your night there as you wait for tomorrow to come.
Day 2 - Co To Island / Ha Long (Breakfast & Lunch)
With breakfast done, you will take a bus to Mong Rong rock area. Once there, take the time to visit Bac Van Military Port to get a full view of Co To Island in its fullest. Then, you will head to Van Chai Beach, dubbed North Vietnam’s most beautiful beach before heading back to town for lunch and your return trip to your hotel.
