What to Do ?
Besides the breathtaking vistas, visitors come to Halong Bay
for the perfect time spent on the boat to visit floating villages and explore the
caves. There also have interesting relaxing activities such as swimming, fishing
and kayaking. Also, this trip can be combined with a trip to the largest island
of
Cat Ba, which offers beaches, hiking in the national park. Nearby Ha Long
City, Tuan Chau Island is a promising spot for relaxation. This island is being
developed into a recreation complex with aquarium, circus, golf and resorts, and
is becoming increasingly popular for
Vietnamese tourists.
When to go?
It is possible for visits to
Ha Long Bay year-round. And winter months (from October to April) are said
to be the best time although in months of December, January and February, the weather
is often cool, drizzly and overcast with low visibility. During summer months (May
to September), tropical storms are frequent and tourist boats may have to alter
the itineraries depending on weather condition.
Travel Tips:
There is different scale of prices for overnight tours to Ha Long Bay
but beware that we just get what you pay for. Price differences are based on the
quality of the boat, food, accommodation, transportation, crew as well as other
invisible elements. Frequent questions to ask before making a booking are the group
size on boat and on car, cabin type (with or without A/C), included and excluded
services in the package so that you know what to expect in advance.
