Refunds never exceed the amount Cat Ba Outdoors actually recovers from the supplier. Amounts already paid or committed to a supplier on a non-refundable basis, and bank, payment-gateway, currency-exchange and refund-transfer fees, are not returned. A refund is confirmed only after the supplier has released the funds.
If we, the operator or the authorities cancel a departure (typhoon, rough seas, boat ban, port or ferry closure) we first offer a new date or a credit for a future booking. If neither suits you, we refund what you paid for the undelivered services less any documented third-party costs already incurred for your booking that the supplier does not return — itemised on your refund statement. Reasonable changes made for safety (route, boat, vehicle, departure time, an equivalent service) do not in themselves entitle you to a refund.
Name changes, extra guests, fewer guests and date changes are handled on request, subject to the supplier's approval and any price difference; fewer guests is a partial cancellation on the schedule above.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Cat Ba transfer include the island crossing?
Check the selected vehicle and its inclusions. Crossing options differ by route and vehicle: speedboat, ferry or cable car. The route page shows the pickup point, drop-off point and the services included in your ticket.
Where will I be picked up and dropped off?
Use the pickup and drop-off points shown for your selected route and vehicle. Hanoi Old Quarter hotel pickup is available on the services that list it; airport and other locations require the appropriate transfer. Send your accommodation address when booking.
Can I bring large suitcases or special luggage?
Check the luggage information for your selected vehicle. Tell us the number and size of your bags, and any oversized items, before booking so we can confirm the appropriate vehicle and any additional cost.
Can I take a bus straight to my overnight cruise?
Confirm the cruise boarding port and check-in time before choosing the bus. Cat Ba and Tuan Chau are different boarding locations. Send us both journey details so we can check the connection; do not assume a bus to Cat Ba Town includes a transfer to your boat.
What if my flight arrives late or I miss a connection?
For an airport transfer, provide your flight details and arrival time before booking. Contact us if your plans change. A later departure, different crossing or replacement transfer must be checked for availability and cost; it is not automatically included.
Which timetable should I use for my Hanoi–Cat Ba ticket?
Choose the vehicle first, then use the departure times shown for that option. Cat Ba Express and Good Morning have different schedules. After changing vehicles, check the selected departure again before continuing to booking.
Does a bus ticket also book my cruise cabin?
No. The bus ticket and the cruise cabin are separate selections. Check the cruise date, cabin and boarding port, then arrange the appropriate transfer. A bus reservation alone does not confirm a cabin.
