The entire trip was simply beautiful. However, the 3.5 hour drive each way in a single day was a bit much. The only downside was the nearly constant approach by those seeking to sell their trinkets

Definitely recommend Alova Cruise (two days) to discover the wonders of Halong Bay. The staff and our tour guide, Sonny, ensured our stay on the boat was a memorable one. Sonny has an immense knowledge of the area from when we boarded the bus in Hanoi until we arrived on the boat. We took part in kayaking along the bay...

We were not sure about a 4hours ride each way to Halong Bay since we only had 1 day free. But it was a 110% great decision to do it. We spent 8 hours in a mini bus for a 6hrs ride through Halong bay. Halong in not one of the natural wonders of the world for nothing.

We toured with Paradise Junks. It was pretty spectacular and well worth the money. Great food, really excellent service and wonderful views. One night wasn't enough. I would recommend two. Or better yet take a one night cruise and then head for Catba island on your own to explore more of the bay from there.

you eat great, the sight seeing is amazing, we did kayaking in the middle of Halong Bay and it was amazing. The crew on our ship was amazing as well.

We booked the one day deluxe tour. They do have "vegeterian option" for the lunch, but it is far from being full lunch. During the travel to Hanoi, since I was hungry, we had a short stop but it was only a shop with some snacks. Nothing you can really feed your hunger.
It seems that all boats are similar,...

I used this site to book my Halong Bay cruise after seeing it was highly recommended on Tripadvisor. I was glad to have done that because the site had truly great service. There's an online chat function that allows you speak directly to its sales staff, and Ms Huyen who served me gave exemplary service.
After listening to my requirements,...

Great value for money, lunch was good, staff were excellent! I could only fit in the one day tour & would recommend an overnight if u can fit it in. One day was still fantastic and well worth it - just be prepared for a long day! Don't miss Halong Bay!

It is a long ride from Hanoi to Halong bay but the tour was well organized and run efficiently.
If you have more time I definitely think a one night two day cruise tour would be very enjoyable, but since I was alone, a one day tour was sufficient to get a glimpse of what Halong bay has to offer....

Hanoi is always my least choice in trip but heard friends said Halong Bay is worth going... hence decided to give it a trial.
Not to my disappoinment, Halong Bay is beatiful and so relaxing especially when you are in the middle of it, surrounding with mountains and beautiful view... Speechless! Cruise is big and comfortable. Get ready with your...
