A Guide to Cong Tay Island
Cong Tay Island is just a 30-minute trip away from Bai Chay Tourist Wharf by speedboat. As it’s not as well-known as other islands in Halong Bay, Cong Tay offers undisturbed beaches that are perfect for a few days of relaxation.
- Cong Tay Island is located in Bai Tu Long Bay, part of the tour around Ngoc Vung Island in Quan Lan, about 40km off Bai Chay Cruise Port.
- Ships and cruises normally run from Cam Pha to the island in about 90 minutes, about 30 minutes by speedboat.
- It is still mostly untouched and undiscovered by the destructive force of extensive tourism.
As of 2025, Cong Tay continues to offer a serene escape with its relatively low-key tourism appeal. While mass tourism has yet to permeate this tranquil destination, visitors will find a selection of beachfront resorts designed for weekend getaways, as well as some budget-friendly hotels suitable for cost-conscious travelers.
