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.

Very friendly staff, decent meal with plenty of choices. It's a shame we left late because of a late-running group. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience.

I'm posting this because there were no reviews. I originally made a reservation to eat at the hotel restaurant. However, they recommended room service because there was an event at the restaurant and it might be noisy. At first, I was a little annoyed. But the dining team was incredibly kind. They perfectly set up napkins, candles, and tableware for in-room dining, so I enjoyed a delicious meal in the cool and comfortable room. They prepared a variety of dishes, which was great for tasting traditional Vietnamese food, and I also used other room service menu items. When I walked past the restaurant, it was indeed very noisy, so I realized it was a thoughtful gesture from the hotel. It would be great if Klook could upload more detailed menus or menu photos. I still don't know what I ate, even after finishing the meal, haha.

Really enjoyed this cruise! Our guide, Mr. Binh, was super lively and entertaining from start to finish. He explained everything well inside the cave and made the trip even more fun. They took care of everything from pick-up to drop-off. Definitely worth the money!Highly recommended! 😊👍

A day trip to Ha Long Bay truly lives up to its reputation as "Guilin on the Sea"! 🌊
We departed from Hanoi in the morning, and the drive was about 2.5 hours. Although it was a bit far, seeing the emerald green water and thousands of limestone islands made it all worthwhile.
Cruising among the islands felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. For lunch, we enjoyed a seafood meal on the boat; the food was decent, but dining with the sea breeze was incredibly pleasant.
The biggest highlights were kayaking and exploring the caves, where the water was so clear you could see the bottom. We climbed over 400 steps on Ti Top Island, and the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from the summit was truly breathtaking.
The day trip was indeed a bit rushed, so if possible, I'd recommend staying overnight. However, for a short experience, it offers great value for money, and I highly recommend it! Our guide, Johnny, was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous in his service – highly commendable.

Vincent was kind, humorous, and a really fun guide. He also took great photos for us. The tour required a bit of physical stamina, but it was packed with sightseeing spots, activities, and great meals. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends.

This was a great day trip from start to end. 5 stars all around. Our tour guide Jackie was amazing. Well spoken and intriguing when talking about all the places we saw. All the staff on the ship were very attentive and the food was delicious. It was worth the money. I wouldn’t hesistate in booking this day trip again. It’s also nice to hang out on the ship if you don’t want to brave the humidity on all the excursions. Thank you Jackie!

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 Ha Long is best known for
Ha Long is best known for cruises, with cable cars and guided tours also popular year-round. Cruises dominate bookings and shape the rhythm of the year, peaking in April and easing through the autumn; cable car experiences and day tours add short flexible options for travellers who want to mix sightseeing with relaxation. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in April and falls to a trough in October, so your choice is whether to prioritise atmosphere and busy harbour days or quieter waters. Decide between peak-season atmosphere and quieter, lower-price months. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Ha Long
April is the busiest month for bookings while October is the quietest, and prices move separately from demand at times: peak demand in April does raise activity, but the priciest month by median price is February while the cheapest is July. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, visit in July or the quieter autumn months; for peak-season atmosphere pick April or February when activity and higher median prices are more likely. Klook booking data underpins these patterns.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | USD 48 |
| February | About average | USD 50 |
| March | About average | USD 49 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 48 |
| May | Busier than usual | USD 50 |
| June | Busier than usual | USD 48 |
| July | About average | USD 34 |
| August | Quieter than usual | USD 42 |
| September | Quieter than usual | USD 47 |
| October | Quieter than usual | USD 47 |
| November | Quieter than usual | USD 47 |
| December | About average | USD 47 |
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 United States
Most travellers from the United States lock things in about 6 days ahead, while the earliest planners book up to three weeks out. That makes Ha Long a flexible destination for last-minute choices, but booking earlier pays off in April and February when demand and median prices are higher. On Klook you can secure cruises and cable-car experiences in advance to guarantee preferred dates and times, or grab last-minute deals when schedules allow—just remember peak months fill faster. Practical and encouraging: check Klook early for busy months and enjoy the freedom to book closer in quieter periods.
