From Got pier to Cat Ba island

When arriving in Cat Hai, you will need to drive 7km to the east port of the island to take a local ferry to Cat Ba from Got pier. This second ferry will cost you 6,000 VND per person and 26,000 VND for a motorbike owner. You will arrive at Cai Vieng pier on the island of Cat Ba. Both ferries operate every hour but note that most ferries will only travel until 5 pm and do not depart during the night. This is a cheaper and more risky option. Although hearing this way seems a bit complicated, but it is easy to do when you have a motorbike. When driving from this pier to Cat Ba town, make sure you are not on TL356 unless you own a dirty bike. Instead, you just need to go straight at the first mayor intersection.
