Reu Island, often referred to as “Monkey Island,” is located approximately 600 meters from Bai Chay and has recently gained popularity among tourists and adventurers alike. Picture yourself immersed in the island’s majestic scenery, breathing in fresh air, and lounging under the sun. The island’s pristine landscape, relatively untouched by commercial tourism, is a breath of fresh air. Young travelers used to gather here for teambuilding activities, campfires, and beach camping. Now, thanks to Vinpearl’s development of this area, Reu Island offers a more structured tourism experience alongside its natural allure.
Here’s what you need to know before you visit:
For first-time visitors, reaching Reu Island is quite convenient. It’s just 150 km from Hanoi and about 50 km from Cat Bi Airport in Hai Phong, making the travel time around three hours via train, bus (120,000 VND – 200,000 VND), or motorbike (self-rented or otherwise). If you’re coming from other provinces, consider booking flights to Hanoi or Hai Phong from reputable agencies for a hassle-free trip to Quang Ninh. Airfare from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi starts at approximately 199,000 VND (prices may rise during holidays and Tet). Upon arriving in Quang Ninh, take a short 10-15 minute round-trip speedboat ride to Reu Island, with each boat accommodating around 15-20 passengers. Guests using Vinpearl’s services benefit from complimentary boat rides.
