Better than expected
Honestly thought Monkey Island would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Cat Ba.

Great for families
Took the kids to Monkey Island and they loved it. Plenty of space, lots to see, and reasonable prices. Will come back.

Absolutely worth the visit
Loved every minute at Monkey Island. The atmosphere is exactly what you imagine of Cat Ba. Get there early to beat the crowds.

A must on any Vietnam trip
Monkey Island captures the soul of Hai Phong. Friendly locals, great photos, and easy to get to from the city center.

Crowded but unforgettable
Yes it's busy, but Monkey Island is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.
