RE: My trip to Ha Long Bay, Vietnam: How to get there and where to stay

in #travel7 years ago

I plan to visit Vietnam soon with some family and I definitely want to visit Ha Long Bay. Is this near south Vietnam?

How much does everything cost broken up?
hotel?
food?
cruise ship?

Hi, Green beans! That's great! It's in North Vietnam, about 3.5-hour car ride from Ha Noi. Here is the website of the cruise ship we stayed http://www.victorystarjunks.com/3day_overnight_junk_tour.html. Foods included. You can go here for more options http://www.halongbaycruise.vn/. This one is for hotel https://www.agoda.com/city/halong-vn.html?cid=-218.
Most people fly to Ha Noi which has a bigger airport. There was a storm at the end of our trip, we had to go to Ha Noi to fly back.
I think you should book on the website you trust only. I speak Vietnamese, so I called and talked to them before booking. Sometimes, I still get negative experiences like I paid online, then went to the hotel and there was no room for me.
