Bai Tu Long is a beautiful area protected by hundreds of islands. The scenery is tranquil and out of this world. I have never seen anything quite like it. I highly recommend a longer 3-day - 2-night cruise to escape the massive crowds within Halong Bay.

We enjoyed our 2 night cruise on the Bai Tu Long bay. It's quite area. Scenery is amazing. We loved our cruise very much and will recommend you to do 2 night itinerary. It took us much time travelling from/to Hanoi for the tour. So you would have 2 full day on the cruise for 3 day itinerary.

Can't express how beautiful the bay it is! We are so lucky to be one of fews enjoying the serenity and beauty of scenery without the crowds like in Ha Long Bay. It's an underrated Must Visit place in Ha Long area!

actually,i visited bai tu long bay in 2018 end of November,but that time i thought the bay i visited was ha lan bay,a mistake! recently i check the itinerary again, found that the actual bay i visited is here.so repost it,cuz dont know when will visit here again.this bay is more quieter, the view is quite similar to ha long bay, but the cave and fishing village we visited were different,less famous and not that marvellous. anyway,if you love less crowd bay,then bai tu long is your place.

A serene experience of cruising through the Bai Tu Long bay. This route was chosen to avoid the general crowding that happens in the Lan Ha bay route. The weather was not sunny so we all could sit comfortably in the sun deck and enjoy the smooth sail through the limestone mounds. We started off with the safety briefing by the tour manager. By then the crew set up table for the 7 course lunch all served on the table. The menu was elaborate and the food was delicious. After some relaxing time, we set off for a visit to the Vung Vieng floating fishing village. It takes around 30-40 mins to visit the fishing village. So if you are used to kayaking (2 person/kayak) you can opt for it else it is better to go with the bamboo boat (upto 6 ppl) ride. The journey is pleasant. We finished off with the pearl harvesting and demonstration. The sunset party could not happen due to the absence of sun. However, people went happy with the "happy hours". This was followed by cooking class by Mr. Peter "Vietnamese fried spring roll made by many countries". The day ended with a luxurious 7 course meal at dinner. Some of us were fishing enthusiasts who tried their hands on squid fishing at night. The 2nd day started at 6 am with a TaiChi session at the sun deck. Such a wonderful way to start your day, unless of course you want to sleep late and miss the morning fresh air and be surrounded by lofty hills. After a quick breakfast with traditional Vietnamese pho we set off for a short hiking to the Thien Canh Son cave. We need to hike about 90 high steps along steep mountain path to reach. The path is stone paved and very well maintained. The cave has a very narrow entrance and tall people have to mind their head and legs. While climbing down, which I found rather difficult than climbing up, we diverted to a hidden and beautiful beach. Finally we returned to the cruise as it was time for checkout. Meanwhile the crew served us a wonderful lunch before we disembarked at the international cruise port at Halong. This will be a memorable event for all of us. We would certainly recommend this to all fellow travellers.

We did 3 days by Dragon legend cruise. We sellected this route to avoide the crowd and were not disappointed. We had great time with lot of activities. We did kayak, visited caves and enjoyed time for swimming. It's the highlihgt of our trip.

Our trip to Bai Tu Long Bay was like stepping into a postcard! The breathtaking sunsets had us fighting for the best photo spots - who knew romance could be so competitive? With untouched natural beauty all around, we laughed and marveled at every turn. Perfect for couples who love a little adventure and a lot of stunning views!
