Co To Island is the farthest inhabited island from the mainland, about 1 hour by high-speed boat from Van Don port. Over the past few years, Co To's rustic beauty has attracted small groups of tourists who are seeking adventure and do not care about hotels and organised tours.
As an important part of Ha Long Bay, the islands of Co To feature unmatched natural beauty that is undamaged by human intervention and far from the noises and dusts of the urbanisation.
Visitors to the islands become absorbed by the fantastic, unspoilt beaches. They can also enjoy the extraordinary beauty of sunrise and sunset at Cau My rock field or Co To lighthouses, go fishing, experience nigh squid fishing and eat seafood.
In the eyes of photographers, Co To looks like a beautiful and graceful mermaid, so it takes them a lot of time and passion to conquer.
