Best Time To Take a Halong Bay Cruise

Most of the travelers choose to take a Halong cruise in the summer. Therefore, the most crowded time for tourists in Halong is from April to August every year. Cruising Halong in the summer, you will be able to freely swim and participate in fun activities on the bay such as kayaking, windsurfing, skydiving… The weather is a bit hot but it suits the sightseeing and photography activities.

However, in the summer, especially July – August, the North often has many storms so having fun on a cruise ship will be greatly affected. The months from April – June are the most suitable time to travel.

In the fall, from September to November, Halong Bay is also very beautiful. The weather is sunny, clear and not too cold yet you can still swim in the sea. During this time there are fewer visitors so it will be much quieter.
