Halong Bay or LAN Ha Bay

Exploring a pre cruise to either Halong Bay or LAN Ha bay. Both look beautiful with Halong Bay being a bit more touristy. We are looking at either the heritage-line As the boats are small and upscale. 2 nights 3 days. Anyone have an opinion between the 2 bays?

    You may have already found this webs site, but I'll post a link. I found it searching for the difference between the two bays.

    After reading it, I'd choose Ha Long Bay because I'm more interested in the caves than in kayaking, which seems to be big at Lan Ha Bay.

    I'll be interested in what others have to say. I'm sure someone must have gone to Lan Ha Bay and can comment.

    [Also, the two bays are close so you may be able to get the boat to take you to both of them if you're going to do two nights and three days.]

  • MikeHenderson thank you. This is an excellent article. I like your suggestion on seeing whether the boat will venture into the other bay if we do the Halong Bay.
