Natural landmark
4.9/5(28K+ reviews)

Ha Long Bay

Located in the Quang Ninh province of Vietnam, Ha Long Bay is a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site made up of thousands of stunning limestone islands, emerald waters and a rich cultural heritage. Whether you're looking for relaxing cruises with unbeatable scenery or enjoy kayaking, rock climbing and exploring caves, Ha Long Bay has something for everyone. Translating to "Descending Dragon", Ha long Bay gets its name from Vietnamese folklore where a mother dragon descended from the skies and spat out jewels and jade to protect the land from invaders. It is said that these jewels later turned into islets rising from the emerald waters of the bay. You can book your visit to Ha Long Bay through a tour operator, or take a bus to Ha Long city or Hai Phong and a taxi to the port. You can also book a 15-minute seaplane ride over the bay for a bird's eye view of the islands.

This is a very convenient shuttle service. The driver picked us up at our designated hotel and dropped us off at our designated hotel in Ha Long Bay. With individual seats and premium service, the entire journey was very comfortable, taking about 2.5 hours. It saved us a lot of unnecessary hassle. Highly recommended!

I contacted them via WhatsApp, and although there was a communication mix-up at one point (the platform confused the recipient, making me think I had to board earlier), I eventually got on the shuttle at the agreed-upon pickup point and time. I recommend choosing VIP seats for more comfort (since the ride is at least 2 hours). The boarding times are generally within a two-hour window, which is pretty good!

I am very happy with the driver and the journey. I only wish to clarify if the toll to be paid is 500.000. He paid it and later I gave him cash over and above. See the screenshot. Later it seemed to me that he may have added 500,000 VND to a VETC account, which is used to pay highway tolls automatically. So not sure. This clarity should be given to the customer

Bus pickup from hotel is punctual, tickets check-in is smooth. cabin is clean and well with facilities, only downside is can't adjust my bed incline. Overall good experience, not suitable for people with motion sickness bus will make turns which will cause big motions.

This company is truly excellent. Even though there were only three of us, they provided such a large bus, which was very spacious and comfortable. The only minor drawback was that it drove a bit slowly; we departed at 7 AM and didn't arrive until 11 AM. However, if you're not in a hurry, it's very comfortable, and the seats recline for sleeping. If you need to catch a cruise between 11:20 AM and 11:40 AM, you'll still make it, as the drop-off is right at the pier. The driver was also excellent, a perfect score!

10/10 experience. My guide Duc was awesome. Everything was on schedule and he explained what we were doing in detail. There were several options for every stop. I was able to hang out with other solo travelers on the trip and it was a great day!

What to know before visiting Ha Long

Ha Long City at a glance

Ha Long City is best known for its cruises, with cable car rides, guided tours and a smaller selection of wellness experiences also popular. Demand on Klook rises and falls through the year, with a clear busy season in spring and much quieter late summer.

When to visit and what to expect

Klook booking data shows April as the peak month for demand and August as the trough. Prices move moderately across the year: they dip in July and August, then climb to higher levels around January and April. For lower prices and fewer crowds, consider visiting in July or August; for the peak-season atmosphere and busiest cruise schedules, aim for April. Price and demand mostly move together here — when demand is higher, prices tend to be higher too, especially around the busiest months.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most experiences in Ha Long City can be planned with some flexibility: Klook data indicates travellers typically book about 13 days ahead, with last-minute bookings possible around three days before. If you prefer securing specific cruise times or cable car slots during April’s busy period, book earlier (toward the 33‑day early-booking window); for off-peak trips in July–August you can be more spontaneous. Use Klook to compare schedules and lock in the options that match your travel dates.
