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.

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.

It was a wonderful trip, the food was surprisingly good, and the service was excellent, led by our guide Tea, who took great care of us and made sure everything went smoothly. On top of that, he had great English and frequently joked around, which added a special charm to the tour. I truly recommend it to everyone!!!

We had an amazing experience on our Ha Long Bay tour, travelling together as a couple. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the whole day was very enjoyable and well organised.
A special thank you to our tour guide, Eden, who really made the experience even better. Eden was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very attentive throughout the trip. He made sure we were comfortable, explained everything clearly, and was always ready to help whenever we needed anything.
My wife and I truly enjoyed our time in Ha Long Bay, and having such a wonderful guide made the experience even more memorable.
We highly recommend this tour, and especially Eden as a tour guide. If you are planning a trip to Ha Long Bay, we would definitely recommend requesting Eden. He is an excellent guide and a great person to have with you on the journey.
Thank you, Eden, for making our Ha Long Bay trip such a memorable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had such a wonderful time with the exciting and active experiences. Swimming against the backdrop of the sunset was so romantic, and kayaking was much more fun than I could have imagined! I definitely, highly recommend it!! As for the cruise lunch buffet, it seemed like the amount of food was a little lacking compared to the number of tourists. I took just a small amount on my first plate, and when I went back for a second helping, most of the food was gone..^^;; That was a bit disappointing~~ Be sure to load up enough on your first plate lol. Our guide, who has been with us since Hanoi, was both witty and gentle, which made the trip even more fulfilling~~ I highly recommend the Halong Bay cruise 👍👍

The day flew by in what felt like no time at all, we had that much fun. Our tour guide was funny and cool! The cave was bigger and wider than any in Japan, which was astonishing. The bamboo boat area was quite crowded, causing delays, and unfortunately, we didn't have enough time at Ti Top Island afterward. The lunch buffet was amazingly lavish with so many options we couldn't even finish them all, so we were very satisfied. We didn't run into any other Japanese people. The tour is in English, but as long as you know the meeting times, you'll be fine, especially with translation AI nowadays. Anyway, I would recommend this to anyone visiting Hanoi. We had a wonderful time.

We had a blast with the cruise. The pace was not too fast, nor was it too slow. Minh, our tour guide, made sure everything went well and explained everything clearly. We thoroughly enjoyed each stop and were never rushed, but still made it on time. P.S. Make sure you have lots of free space on your phone.

What to know before visiting Ha Long
What to do in Ha Long year-round
Ha Long is best known for its cruises, with cable car rides, guided tours and spa-style massages also popular across the year. Klook booking data shows cruises lead bookings by a wide margin, so sea-based activities shape the rhythm of the destination. Demand rises into spring and early summer, with May especially busy, and then eases through the late summer and autumn months. For travellers deciding when to go, choose between lively peak months for atmosphere or quieter months for more space — Klook booking data guides that choice.
Best months to visit Ha Long
Ha Long’s busiest stretch is around May, while September sees the lightest demand; those contrasts affect how crowded cruises and cable-car outings feel. Prices are relatively stable across the year, with July showing the highest typical price and August the lowest; the two signals sometimes move together and sometimes diverge, so pick your month based on whether you prioritise lower prices or smaller crowds. For lower prices and quieter crowds, consider August or September; for peak-season atmosphere, aim for May or July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | PHP 2,676 |
| February | About average | PHP 2,735 |
| March | About average | PHP 2,735 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 2,735 |
| May | Busier than usual | PHP 2,735 |

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines lock things in about 7 days ahead, while the earliest planners book roughly three weeks out. That means you can often book with some flexibility a few days before travel, though in the peak months of May and July it pays to reserve earlier. On Klook you can compare cruises, cable-car experiences and tours in one place, check user reviews and secure spots for popular departures. If you prefer a quieter visit or slightly lower prices, aim for August or September and book early enough to guarantee your preferred cruise time — Klook booking data supports these timing choices.
