Most of the tourists book a one-day trip from 6 to 8 hours to maximin their travel time in Halong. If you prefer sightseeing, especially discovering the ancient natural cave, you should choose to book a day cruise that brings you to Sung Sot Cave, Dau Go Cave, Thien Cung Cave, Tien Ong Cave, Titop Island, etc. which are the most popular attractions in Halong Bay.
Another is enjoying a one-day tour to Lan Ha Bay or Bai Tu Long Bay which only has a few attractions for sightseeing but owns many spectacular sites for swimming and kayaking such as Luon Cave, Dark & Light Cave, Ao Ech Area, etc.
Luxury Halong Bay Day Cruise
Day cruises in Halong Bay are usually small wooden boats with the simplifying classic local design which normally only have a modest guest cabin that is also the restaurant where tourists enjoy meals and drinks, and a lovely sundeck zone with the wooden or artificial grass floor, some sunbathing chairs, and big umbrellas. Most of these boats were built before 2018 and generally have the same design.
On the other hand, if you book a luxury day cruise that launched in 2018 or newer, the boat may be bigger with more functional cabins such as a lounge or bar, gym room, bathroom, etc., and look more impressive with stylish design and modern facilities, some new high-end cruises even made by steel.
The Halong Bay day trip price is varied due to each cruise, itinerary, and service standard.

Are there any changes in the schedule if I travel in the winter? It'll be pretty cold at that time, so I wonder if the kayaking activities may be canceled.

@Maggie Casey:
There is no cancel from kayaking because of winter. Winter in Vietnam is not cold enough to freeze the water so that you can still do the kayaking
