Viaristo · Vietnam
Cat Ba has no airport. You fly to a nearby one and continue by road or boat; there are 8 places with a direct service in.
No road reaches it: the last stretch is on water, so any “bus” here is really a bus and a boat sold together.
Bus-ferry combo from Hanoi, or ferry from Hai Phong.
