Ha Long Bay

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.

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.

the day trip when really smoothly. we visited a cave, set on the bamboo boat, and did some hiking. the tour guide did not follow us while we were at the activities, but he let us know where to meet when we were done. the hiking might not be suitable for very young kids or very old people, as there are many steps to climb. thankfully weather was great.

Our guide, Eden (E.D.E.N.), is an amazing tour guide. He speaks English and is very passionate about what he does. He puts a personal touch on how he explains things and is naturally concerned for people. He is an authentic leader and has a command in leadership, especially regarding timing, which is very important in group activities. He is very trustworthy and communicated prior to the start of the tour. He has consistently been reachable for any questions. The cruise itself is very worthwhile. There's a good selection of food and interesting activities. The crew members were also amazing and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience that I would recommend to my friends and family.

Wonderful day trip. It was a long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. We had a great guide, and the transportation was well-organized and comfortable. The boat was excellent, with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also a lot of fun. It was nice that it was small-scale and not overly touristy.

I was worried because it was an English tour and not Korean, but our guide Henry was so kind and took great care of us! The buffet food wasn't outstanding, but it was generally good, and the Vietnamese spring rolls and fried spring rolls were quite delicious! The cruise ship was also large, so I didn't get seasick and could travel very comfortably. 😊😍👍 Also, many packages required meeting near Hoan Kiem Lake or at a central location, but it was great that they picked us up even though we weren't in that area! For the bus, the travel time was longer than expected, so it's much better if you opt for the premium transfer. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone I know planning a trip to Ha Long Bay in the future!

We have an awesome time with Diamond Luxury Cruise and Henry is our guide. He has been very helpful and informative. Buffet lunch was great and teabreak with fruits were served after the last visit to TiTop Island. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to make a day tour to Halong Bay.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Amazing Experience with Dolphin Day Cruise! 🐬🌊 This was my second time joining the Dolphin Day Cruise, and once again, it did not disappoint! 🥰 This time, I brought my friends along so they could experience the cruise too. What made this trip even more special was that I managed to participate in almost all of the activities, including swimming! 🏊‍♂️🌊 It was such a fun and memorable experience. The beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere, delicious food, exciting activities, and excellent service made the whole day truly enjoyable. I especially appreciate the crew for being friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the journey. Since this was my second time, I can honestly say that Dolphin Day Cruise continues to be one of my favourite experiences in Ha Long Bay. ❤️ I’m really happy that I brought my friends this time, and we created another wonderful memory together. Highly recommended! 🐬⛵️✨ Thank you, Dolphin Day Cruise, for another unforgettable day! 🇻🇳❤️

Due to the storm, our tour was rescheduled for a few days later. The tour itself was wonderful. The children were absolutely delighted and wanted to go again. We also really liked our guide, Tinh. Special thanks to him for taking beautiful photos of our entire family.

There were four of us, and the tour guide and staff on the boat were very enthusiastic. The boat was beautiful, clean, and the price was reasonable. The only downside was that the food wasn't quite to our group's taste. Luckily, the weather was beautiful when we left in the morning, and it only started raining when we were on our way back, but everything was still okay for us.

Quick snapshot of Ha Long City and what to do

Ha Long City is a waterside destination best known for cruises, cable-car rides and guided tours, with cruises and boat experiences leading bookings and cable cars, day tours and massages also popular. Demand on Klook has a clear seasonal rhythm, peaking in May and easing toward September.

Best times to visit and how prices behave

Klook booking data show May is the busiest month while September sees the lightest demand. Prices on Klook drift only slightly across the year: past bookings put July among the priciest months and August among the cheapest, but the gap is small. If you want lower prices and fewer crowds, consider traveling in September or August; if you’re after the peak-season atmosphere, aim for May or the summer months when demand is higher.

For travel during the peak months named above, plan and secure key experiences around a week ahead to avoid disappointment; for quieter months you can be more flexible.
