1. When to go?
Summer is a good time to cruise on Halong Bay but the best time of year is during the spring or fall. Because the bay is situated in the northern part of the country, it can get colder in the fall and winter, and though you won't see extremes such as blizzards, it's still a lousy place to be when it gets cold.
Tip: You should bring a swim suit with you, night's swim in the phosphorescent water is also very nice (must be before your drinks)

2. What to do?
- Jungle trekking in the National Park of Catba Island: It sounds quite an innocent and safe activity, but it is NOT and in fact can be quite dangerous. The guides usually offer two treks, an easier one lasting a few hours and a second more difficult one lasting at least 6 hours and far more demanding than the former. If you are not experienced, go for the first. If you do not have a reasonable level of fitness, don’t go at all. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes with a good grip on the ground and clothing that does not leave any skin exposed. If possible, have a first aid box with you.

- Discover Bay with kayaking full day: Soaking your body for our kayaking. The guide will show you the most beautiful parts of the bay through a maze of islets amidst dramatic natural scenery to explore stalactite caves such as Drum cave, Man's head islet, Turtle islet and Fairman's cave before heading to Van Gia fishing village for BBQ lunch and relaxation. You will have a chance to understand more about fishermen's daily life in the bay.

- Shopping in Halong: Halong shopping is characterized by the Vietnamese local market tradition with more offerings of souvenirs than usually found elsewhere. Traditional souvenir items to buy in Halong are lacquer plated chopsticks, ceramic tea sets, the ubiquitous conical hats (non la) that Vietnamese womenfolk wear, silk fabric, silk artifacts and crafts, or the traditional Vietnamese long dress, known locally as the 'Ao dai'.

- Overnight in the bay and enjoy romantic scenery: experience Halong Bay with the deluxe wooden junk. The junks offer double cabin for a couple who want to seek for a romantic trip to the beautiful and quiet Bay. 3. Where to go?
