Hi, Alex! Bai Tu Long Bay is the perfect choice if you’re looking to avoid the crowds and still enjoy the same breathtaking scenery as Halong Bay.
2 nights are definitely worth it if you have the time, as you will visit the most natural areas in the bay while also have more time for relaxation.

Our family wants to travel to Bai Tu Long for 3 days from Jan 16 to Jan 18. We need a cruise that has a connecting room for 4 people. Which cruise is available during that time?

I am interested in a luxury cruise. 2 nights and 3 days starting April 3rd. Pick up will be in Nihn Binh and drop off to Hanoi. I am interested in a cruise that is away from the polluted areas. Which cruise would you suggest? What is the advantage of booking this with you vs directly with the cruise company? Thank you. Regards,
