1. Cruise Overnight
Many visitors who book a day-trip from Hanoi find themselves wishing they had made time to stay overnight. Halong is a four-hour drive from Hanoi, and day-trippers miss not only Halong’s marvellous sunsets and sunrises, but also the fun of sleeping overnight aboard a boat. There are numerous luxury cruise operators plying the bay, but for a unique adventure, climb aboard The Emeraude, a replica of a 1930s paddle wheel steamer that cruised these waters in the Indochine era.
