HA LONG BAY, VIETNAM (2024) | 2-Day Ha Long Bay Cruise (Full Guide with Honest Review)

Ha Long Bay is located in the Gulf of Tonkin in northeastern Vietnam. This UNESCO World Heritage site stretches over 1,500 square kilometers and consists of towering limestone cliffs that emerge from the emerald waters. The most popular way to explore this vast area is by taking a cruise around the islands for a few days. We joined a 2-day mid-range cruise in the bay, exploring caves, beaches, and lagoons. In this video, we’ll take you through each day of our cruise, giving a detailed overview of activities, sights, and amenities you can expect.
Note: This tour was NOT sponsored by anyone and at the end, we’ll give an honest review that is based on our full experience

[@bobbynguyen7739]

So beautiful, thank you for your time.

[@yury2509]

Simply stunning views. The first time I learned about the place, by looking at the wall calendar of my coworker.

[@bhavnamehra9236]

Really helpful video♥

[@ArchitPatel25]

[@ajnomotorola13]

"The light was making the water dance on the rock..." How little moments can make us so happy!

[@Halong5starsCruises-kn4nc]

Nice video. Tq for sharing

[@quangluuthanh9562]

North of Vietnam will be the best option for travelling & exploring, discovering new things

[@adeelriaz7377]

God bless you and your family

[@worldwildhearts]

Thank you!

[@bkkdavidg]

My wife and I were supposed to visit Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Ninh Binh back in April of 2020, while I was living in Bangkok. However, COVID forced our trip to be cancelled. Halong Bay, Vietnam is definitely beautiful and we’ll have to visit there someday. Thank you for capturing and sharing your adventure. 🙏🏻

[@Parisa_Traveller]

Hello! we took exactly same cruise in Nov and it was a fantastic experience!

[@robsalvv5853]

I’m doing this tour in October. Thanks for your vlog!

[@worldwildhearts]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@hieu9440]

your video is so good my friend, and it has such of hard work: the angles, the views, honest comments, magnificent editing, the animation of listing for each place is cannot be more detail

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks! 🙏☺️

[@maxdavies9327]

We just watched your Ha Long Bay vid and it confirmed what we thought that its better to do a tour starting in Lan Ho Bay as its quieter. The graphics you use are fantastic it puts you in a different league to most other Vlogers.... Looking foreward to seeing more of your work. Thanks again. Max. Australia.

[@worldwildhearts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@moses5161]

I was there in 2023!!

[@arashmansouri8015]

[@ben_castle]

Check the Ha Giang loop, Sapa, Moc chau, Hoang su phi, mu cang chai, mai chau, phong nha, daklak, Danang and pleiku. They are spectacular.

[@LuzdivinaSanchez]

Hello! Thanks for the video and review. Did they let you use your drone from the boat to get the aerial shots?

[@worldwildhearts]

yep!

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

I’ve really enjoyed that❤ only just a little too short I would have preferred if you’d taken a longer cruise overall but I’m grateful for the infos and tips. Which month did you film ?it if you don’t mind me asking the weather seemed really nice 👌🏼Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@worldwildhearts]

Yes we wish we did the 3 day tour after all! We were there at the beginning of December. We were very very lucky with the weather as it’s usually not that sunny that time of the year! 😊

[@hajeraali8673]

What are your thoughts on a day cruise - which covers surprise cave, ti top island and kayaking (and sunset)? Thank you for this great video

[@worldwildhearts]

A day cruise is good to see the highlights but isn't a full cruising experience, which we liked about the multi-day one!

[@tharangaroshini7719]

🌹🌹🌹

[@nj4057]

How did you manage thr drone shots? Did you carry a drone camera with you? Are there drone camera rental options?

[@naguRGV]

Wonderful and informative video.. Can we go to Halong bay and Ninh Bin in the month of July?? Thank you

[@worldwildhearts]

Yes you definitely can! Just be aware that it's the raining season with occasional bursts of rainfall. Average temperatures ranging from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius, so that is nice. It's also holiday season for Vietnamese people so expect lots of local travelers

[@naguRGV]

@@worldwildhearts thank you so much 😊

[@bestia78]

Did you do the drone shots? is it possible to fly it from the boat

[@henrybaltrock8206]

did you have a special permission for the drone shots? I´ve read online that Vietnam is very restrictive with that so I was considering to leave it at home. Any experiences from your side?

[@namanjain3245]

I am loving your vietnam videos. Why not include prices also??

[@worldwildhearts]

Because they constantly change! Especially the cruises have different prices during the low, shoulder and high season… that’s why we leave links to activities / websites we booked through

[@user-dl4xt5hb3w]

Think youthis veduo❤❤

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for watching!

[@camproHuahin]

COULD YOU PLEASE COMPARED BETWEEN HERE & KHAOSOK? CHEERS!

[@hoanghaipham4776]

I am Vietnamese 🇻🇳 What are you nationality? Are you love Vietnam ? I hope you have an idea how much you enjoy traveling in Vietnam the most in the world

[@umesharun2645]

what is the name of the Cruise ?

[@kevikhate]

Thanks for the information it's very useful.. I need your advise if you can kindly guide me... I am planning for a trip coming April with family 3 days in ha long cruise and 2 days stay in cat ba island.. How do I get from ha long to cat ba island

[@maitruong3836]

Hi, I'm from Vietnam. Just passing by your comment. You can go to Cat Ba from Ha Long by coach (8-9$ per ticket, about 2 hours) or ferry (from Tuan Chau to Gia Luan seaport, 3-4$ per ticket but sold out very fast). Hope it helps.

[@lovelejanib3770]

Can you share the price of the cruise and name? Is it better to book the cruise when we are in hanoi?

[@worldwildhearts]

You can find the links with prices in the description below this video. Just click below the video. You can as well find a cruise in Hanoi. There are 100s of cruises offered with different prices and luxury levels. Just be aware that the price you pay will reflect the quality and comfort! This video reviews the particular one we did, which wasn’t the cheapest but the quality was high

[@jessy_e]

When were you there?

[@worldwildhearts]

At the beginning of December! We were lucky with the weather!

[@allison2lu]

How much did it cost for the cruise for the both of you.

[@worldwildhearts]

Link to the tour we booked is in the description below the video! It shows the price of the tour on the website we booked with :)

[@rachelquizon1563]

How much for the cruise?

[@worldwildhearts]

Link to the cruise we booked is in the description below the video... if you click it, you'll see the prices

[@user-oc4ql9zm1g]

Merci vo cu

[@yudhistira3488]

in fact the water is murky and there are many tourist boats

[@keeseong2980]

I did the 1 day tour in Dec 2023. Definitely worth it and you get to experience every place in the 2 day tour in this video. I agree with everything in this video and the only thing I have to add is be prepared to hike up the hills. I saw people struggling to get up and down. Another tip, if you do the visa application online, make sure you have the right agency. I saw some people stranded at immigration because they were scammed by some unapproved agency. I can tell you that these communist civil servants are not very sympathetic.

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for the extra tips! Glad you enjoyed your tour as well
