Is it possible to get to Cat Ba by motorcycle or car?

Yes, you can get to Cat Ba by motorcycle or car by ferrying them across. From Haiphong, the cargo ferry departs from Cat Hai pier, the cost of crossing with a motorcycle is 25,000 dong. Previously, you had to take another ferry to this pier, but now Cat Hai island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, which simplifies the journey.

From Halong, ferries depart from Tuan Chau pier at 07:30, 09:00, 11:30, 13:30, and 15:00. Cost: 100,000 dong per passenger with a motorcycle, 480,000 dong for a car. The ferries arrive at Gia Luan pier in the north of Cat Ba, from where you can drive to Cat Ba town in your own transport.

This option is ideal for those traveling in Vietnam with rented transport and wanting to maintain mobility on the island. Note that there are gas stations on Cat Ba, but it's better to refuel at large gas stations to avoid speculative prices.
