Overview of Cap La Fishing Village
Cap La Fishing Village is the smallest of the four remaining floating villages in Halong Bay, characterized by its lack of a national electricity system, which means residents rely on generators for power. This quaint fishing village is home to fewer than 200 inhabitants.
Traditionally, children in Cap La attend school until they are 12 years old, after which many transition into fishing and aquaculture— the primary livelihoods in the area. While thousands of tourists flock to Halong Bay to enjoy its stunning scenery, the people of Cap La village remain focused on their close-knit community and the sea that surrounds them.
Cap La Fishing Village offers a unique, authentic experience, distinct from the more populous Vung Vieng fishing village. If you seek a quieter alternative, Cap La is the perfect destination. Visitors to this enchanting village will find a place where the hustle and bustle of daily life seems to fade away.
In addition to exploring Cap La, consider visiting other pristine locations within your Halong Bay Trips, such as Lan Ha Bay or Bai Tu Long Cruise, to enhance your adventure.
