1. Should I choose 3 days over 2 days in Halong bay?
Yes, definitely! If you are not pressed for time, you should spend 3 days on the bay instead of 2 days. Although most 2-day itineraries and 3-day itineraries are similar, with 3 days, you will have more time to relax and fully discover the bay. Moreover, there are some cruises offering more activities if you choose to travel for 3 days. For example, while the 2-day itinerary on Scarlet Pearl Cruise only visits Viet Hai Village and Dark & Bright Cave, the 3-day itinerary adds untouched attractions like Dau Be Island or Ba Trai Dao Beach. Similarly, while the 3-day trip on Heritage Binh Chuan Cruise includes visits to Viet Hai Village and Cat Ba Island, the 2-day one does not.
2. Can I visit both Lan Ha bay and Halong bay in 3 days?
Although at present, there are no cruises covering both bays in their itineraries, it is still possible for you to visit Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay in 3 days. You can book a 2D1N cruise visiting Lan Ha Bay. There are a lot of options including Scarlet Pearl Cruise, Orchid Premium Cruise, and Elite of the Seas Cruise.

Hi. We are looking to book later in the year with our four adult children (in their 20’s). We prefer a more activity based itinerary kayaking, caving, fishing etc and entertainment on board at night also rather than cooking classes etc. Is there a cruise which offers more this preference. Thank you
@Fi, In Halong Bay, most cruises follow similar routes and provide comparable activities. The main distinguishing factors between them are the quality of the cruise, on-board services, and food offerings. If you are looking for a unique experience or more activities geared towards young adults, the Oasis Party cruise is a good option.

@Anna, to reach the cruise port from a hotel in Halong ba area, you can catch a local taxi (Mai Linh taxi), which will take only 3-5 minutes to get there.
