I did enjoy Vietnam as a whole. The staff I met were nice and courteous. Vietnamese people are so helpful, humble and friendly. Crossing the road was a nightmare! I am glad that I also joined some local tours myself as they wee my highlights. I would definitely return to Vietnam in the future
Amazing Vietnam Super Save Package In 10 DaysAmazing tour guides, amazing service, and amazing hospitality. The tour was well paced, the boat was beautifully maintained, and the food was phenomenal. The cruise had a great itinerary and group of activities to do. Absolutely had a great time and would love to come back next time!
Halong - Lan Ha Bay 3 Day 2 Night 5-Star Cruise & Private Balcony CabinOverall we had a good time on the tour but there are a few things you could change to make it better. We spent to much time on a bus going back and forth to Hanoi. I think the tour should spend a day or two in Hanoi and then move to Pu Loung then move to Ha Long bay and perhaps another location. We also found the individual tours were rushed as we were not allowed enough individual time to take in the sites.

Best time to visit Halong Bay
- Summer 2026
Summer tours between June and August put water activities front and center. Early risers join sunrise tai chi, then spend extra time kayaking hidden lagoons and swimming at quiet beaches. Several well-rated options combine bay exploration with bike rides through Cat Ba Island's shaded national park paths. The overnight cruises work really well - you'll join sunset deck parties and evening cooking classes, perfect for staying active while dodging the midday heat.
- popular 76 tours
- Fall / Autumn 2026
September through November brings clear skies and pleasant temperatures - perfect for longer exploration. Top picks include early cave visits when the light's just right for photos, afternoon stops at pearl farms and sunset drinks with limestone peaks as your backdrop. Many guests book tours mixing traditional junk boats with modern comforts - think upscale meals and spa time between kayak outings. The multi-day trips into quieter Lan Ha Bay get excellent feedback these months, offering both active exploration and peaceful downtime.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter cruises from December through February really shine when it comes to clear weather activities. The overnight luxury boats get great feedback - our guests start their day with tai chi on deck before heading to Sung Sot Cave when visibility peaks. You'll find traditional cooking demos and nighttime squid fishing under the stars on several routes. While the 5-star vessels with spa services and private balconies are popular this season, the 3-star boats follow similar routes with fewer crowds and solid service too.

- Spring 2027
March to May brings ideal conditions and our widest range of tour options. Premium cruises mix morning cave visits with afternoon kayaking near Trinh Nu Cave's rock formations. Many travelers opt for 2-3 day trips that include cycling in Viet Hai Village and guided walks in Cat Ba National Park. Our customers love tours that balance active elements like swimming and hiking with cultural touches - they'll catch a water puppet show in Hanoi before heading out, then visit local fishing villages once on the bay.
