First word To all my friends over the world, We are a group of some crazy but friendly youth, trying to do something meaningful for our life, and our country. We used to be social activists who have implemented many awareness campaigns. And for 7 years, our team - Action4Future had run as one of the best youth organizations in climate change and sustainable development. Since most of us have graduated from the university, we have to make a choice: continue working with our organization or go out there and look for a job? Finally, we decide to keep our passion for sustainable development and mix it with a business. That’s how this business was born!
Don’t be a tourist, be a local
Cat Ba is a very nice island, we love it. We used to travel here every summer and organize boot camp for youth on a wild island. We received lots of help from local people. They are friendly, warmly but they are also very poor and lonely. Staying in their house in our homestay service, you not just help them earn money but also make their life become more interesting. We have an ambitious plan for community and environment in Cat Ba Island. Your support will be the very first step to make it possible. Sincerely,
Cat Ba is an island in the North of Vietnam. Geologically, Cat Ba is the same with Ha Long Bay. With the combination of mountain and ocean landscape, Cat Ba has its own unique culture and beauty... Rugged, craggy and jungle-clad are some words to describe this island. You can do many out door activities and enjoy the natural landscape in here.
What’s make us different? Adventure and community-based is our difference. We bring you to the hidden of Cat Ba, which are not crowded and recorded in any guide book! You can explore the beauty of Cat Ba in the most natural way. Beside that, all our activities associate with local people to make you have the best experience. Exploring the night activities of local people, fishing, squid catching, kayaking‌ many interesting activities are waiting for you!
This will be one of a kind trips in Cat Ba Island!
