Halong

The Best TIme to Travel 

In each season, Halong Bay is alluring and gorgeous with different attractiveness, making the Heritage worthy of all-year travel. Based on personal interests, tourists can select the most favorite time for a Halong Bay vacation. If you desire to enjoy outdoor activities absolutely, autumn (September – October) and spring (February – April) are highly recommended thanks to such pleasant weather. For those who prefer the heat, sunshine, and swimming, summer is ideal, but you should consider the peak season in the early summer as well as the storm period between July and August. 

How to Get to Ha Long 

Many visitors to Ha Long Bay choose a packaged cruise, which typically includes transport to and from Hanoi. Independent travelers can take a bus to Ha Long City or Hai Phong, followed by a taxi to the port. Alternatively, a 45-minute seaplane ride can be chartered directly from Noi Bai International Airport. Exploring Ha Long Bay is best done by boat, but for those interested in an aerial perspective, a 15-minute seaplane ride over the bay is available. In Ha Long City, taxis are readily available for getting around town.

A Playground for Adventure Seekers

A Ha Long Day Cruise is the ultimate way to experience all the stunning activities and destinations the area has to offer. Enjoy the tranquility of Ha Long Bay by cruising its calm waters, where you can watch the sunset over the majestic karsts and wake up to serene mornings surrounded by breathtaking panoramas. Relaxing on a sun deck amidst these stunning views is often the highlight of many visitors' trips. Immerse yourself in the unique culture of Ha Long Bay by exploring a floating village, where fishing communities have thrived for centuries. A boat tour around these villages offers a rare glimpse into their fascinating way of life.

For a more active adventure, paddle out in a kayak to navigate the bay's gorgeous seascape. Sunset is an ideal time to kayak, allowing you to see quiet lagoons and fishing boats up close. Delve into the geological wonders of Ha Long Bay by clambering into its ancient caves. Many of the karsts have been carved out by rain and water currents, revealing spectacular interiors that range from tight squeezes to enormous chambers. For thrill-seekers, rock climbing offers countless routes to explore. Deep water soloing, particularly popular in Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, provides an exhilarating experience, especially on Butterfly Island.
