It is usually cool and foggy in the morning at this time of the year. So keep in mind that it will be hard to watch the sunrise. But it was usually sunny at noon so it didn't affect much.
About the cruise: Very unique itinerary. I didn’t stay in Halong Bay only. The trip continued until we reached Hoa Binh. I was able to see so many beautiful scenery of Viet Nam. Gorgeous country.
The cruise had long itinerary but abundant activities. Unlike other Halong Bay luxury cruise, Pandaw made a unique excursion which gave our kids a lot of fun.
It was the longest excursion I took in northern Vietnam. Pandaw overnight itinerary covered a tour from Halong Bay to Hanoi along the Red River. !1 days never gets boring as the variety of activities during the trip. It was a great experience!
We have taken an overnight cruise in Halong before. This time, we tried the longer itinerary. And really enjoyed the full activities from Halong to Red River. It was an amazing trip!
It is the longest Halong cruise itinerary from Hanoi. We enjoyed a lot of activities and excursions. Loved all natural landscapes in Vietnam.
