One-Day Deep Water Solo Adventure from Hanoi
8:00 AM Pick-up from the bus office or your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Start your journey to Cat Ba Island.
11:30 AM Arrive at Cat Ba. You’ll have free time to get lunch in town before the adventure begins.
Tour Itinerary
Please arrive at our office 30 minutes before departure to get fitted with climbing shoes and gear.
We’ll then transfer by car to the harbor, where your boat will be waiting.
As we cruise toward the first climbing site—Sea Face—our guides will brief you on jumping and landing techniques for a safe and fun experience.
Climbing Experience
Your session begins with a warm-up climb: a 5-meter wall rated at 4a, designed to help you get used to the feeling of jumping and to fine-tune your landing.
From there, based on your strength and confidence, our experienced guides will recommend suitable routes for you to try next.
The Sea Face wall features around 15 routes, ranging in difficulty from 4a to 7a, with most falling between 5a and 6b.
For those who prefer to stay closer to the water, there are also traverse routes with lower jumping points.
At every step, our guides will introduce each climb by name, grade, and key movements, ensuring you're fully prepared to enjoy the climb—and the leap!
