Floating home and working boats on the Cat Ba waterways

Floating villages

Cai Beo near Cat Ba is a place to learn about fishing life on the bay, not a theme park: visit through a permitted route and respect residents’ privacy.

Understand Cai Beo

Cat Hai tourism identifies Cai Beo as a long-established fishing settlement connected with catches and fish farming in the sheltered water. The landscape includes working boats and homes; what can be visited depends on the current community and operator arrangements.

Choose a respectful visit

Ask whether your route merely passes the village or includes a hosted stop. Use local services where offered, avoid entering private floating homes without invitation and ask before taking close photographs of residents.

Check the departure

A village stop can be combined with a bay boat trip or a local-life activity, but do not assume every cruise includes one. Confirm the harbour, transfer, expected time and what is covered by the price.
