Ba Ham Lake is a system of 3 closed bays (lagoon) connected by dark caves through the mountain. Entering those bays seems like being inside the mysterious heaven thanks to the captivation and the calmness in here. There is only one way to get into those bays SUP or Kayak paddling. However, it does not mean that we can enter Ba Ham Lake all the time, especially, high tide or strong low tide time. Hence, this program requires an experiential tour guide to realize when is the appropriate time to paddle to Ba Ham Lake. Ba Ham Lake is located on Dau Be Island, it takes 45 minutes of boat travel to Beo Port, Cat Ba. Around Ba Ham Lake are many impressive beaches and a small village.
