Most of the tourists book a one-day trip from 6 to 8 hours to maximin their travel time in Halong.

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.

@Dan:
We have no tour from Hai Phong, but you can transfer to Halong and join the cruise there. Day cruise is leaving from 10:00 AM or 12:00 AM. It takes about 1.5 hours transfer so depend on cruise you choose you can decide the starting time.

Dear Best Price Travel, my husband and I will be in Hanoi from 15 to 18th of November. We are excited to book a Phoenix Day Cruise Halong Bay, although we read that sometimes it is too foggy there... Is there a way to book it but leave the dates flexible (between those 4 days)? Warm regards from Brazil, Isadora
