Travel: hanoi to ha long bay?

Hi there

It is really easy to organise your tour. They will vary in price, but in reality, all do the same thing, so shop around.

Most tours include everything from hotel pick up, meals and if you are staying overnight, the accommodation as well. I have not taken the overnight tour (see Halong bay cruises tour http://www.luckyhalongcruises.com/ ), but have done Halong Bay twice now, firstly with my husband, and the second time we bough our 3 youngest teenage children, so I cant comment on the overnight lodgings.

It takes about 3 1/2 hours depending on where your hotel is on the schedule to get from Hanoi to Halong Bay. See more info Halong http://www.halongtravelshow.com/halong-bay-overvie...

You can choose an overnight stay or just the day trip. As I said, I have never opted for the overnight stop, but my children went back to Vietnam again and did the overnight and really enjoyed themselves. All trips return at the same time and get back well after 6 pm at night, so you wont be able to leave on the night you return from Halong Bay.

cheers

Hi Christine!

I have visited Halong bay for 2 3 times.

1. I think you should book for a tour before 1 or 2 days. I could book at morning and go to halong in the same day, but the price could be more expensive

2. The classic tour is 2 days/ 1 night. i also often offer this tour. You can visit halong in the morning, visit some natural cave or some islands. Or for longer you should go to Cat Ba from Halong bay. For 3* cruise. I think Halong Classic Sail is a good choice. It's romantic and traditional beauty and clean with 7 cabins (http://halongclassicsail.com/) .or visit booking.com.

3. It's about 170km and take you 3 - 3.5 hours via private car (http://www.vietnamairporttransfer.com/localtransfe... I think you should hire a car instead go by shuttle bus. It's more comfortable.

4. normally, it's 3 4pm.

once you're occurring any form of cruise on the bay your booking agent ought to desire to have included transport. Bus is the foremost much less high priced thank you to circulate. A taxi will fee you merely approximately as much as a 2 day day holiday. So circulate with your hotel booking agent. it somewhat is somewhat a no concepts-er. The motels are geared up for this style of element. it may fee you merely a sprint greater yet its nicely worth it. Ha long is massive. you will probable have a super time!
