FAQs

To fully experience Halong Bay, a three-day cruise is the best option for the following reasons:

  • Diverse attractions: The program includes 3-5 places to visit, from limestone caves to fishing villages, islands, and pearl farms.
  • Extra time: 3D2N cruise takes around 48 hours with an extra day (compared to 2D1N) to explore further the bay.

The main differences between the 3D2N and 2D1N cruises are the duration and price range. If you don't mind about travel time and budget, then definitely a 2-night cruise will be the best option for you.

@Rodrigo:

We have no cruise from Hoi An, you should take a flight to Hanoi/ Hai Phong for the cruise. Let me know your budget so it is better for us to recommend you right one.

When is your boat leaving? You can do another small cruise in Halong for exploring this area combine with a city tour on land to see people here.
