CHILDREN‘S PRICE
Halong Bay, where emerald waters meet ancient limestone cliffs, is a realm of wonder that makes every moment feel like stepping into a dream.
Hence, for those seeking a wonderful escape from the bustling city, a Halong Bay cruise 3 days experience is your best bet! Let us prepare you for the journey with a comprehensive guide covering all the essentials, from price tickets and weather climates to detailed itineraries.
If you’re a first-time visitor with limited time and budget, the 2-day cruise is an excellent choice. However, for those who have the flexibility and desire to uncover more of the bay’s wonders, the 3-day cruise offers a more serene and MUCH richer adventure.
No matter which you choose, both options promise unforgettable memories in one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world. Choose the best option for you and your families here:

1. Comfortable, breathable clothing is ideal for warm weather, and a jacket is recommended for cooler evenings or winter months. We also recommend sturdy shoes for exploring caves and hiking trails, and don’t forget your swimwear for water activities!
2. Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so preserving its pristine beauty is a shared responsibility. Do NOT litter; instead, use designated trash bins on boats and islands. Also, refrain from touching coral reefs or disturbing wildlife during your adventures.
3. Politeness and a smile go a long way when interacting with locals. Modest dress is appreciated, especially when visiting cultural sites, floating villages, or traditional fishing communities.
4. Although our tour accepts credit cards, carrying some Vietnamese Dong (VND) for small purchases and tips is still recommended.
Planning your Halong Bay cruise 3 days is never easier with Vietnam Backpacker Hostels! The Halong Bay 3 day cruise price is just $330 per adult (for full participants 9 years and older), which covers the full 3-day experience, including transportation, meals, accommodations, and guided activities.
For children aged 4 to 8 years, the cost is 75% of the adult price, provided there is only one child per cabin. One child under 4 years old per cabin can join free of charge (FOC).
Important Note: The maximum allowance is one child per cabin to ensure ample space and comfort for all guests.
Spring is one of the best times to visit Halong Bay. The weather is pleasantly warm, with temperatures ranging between 18°C and 25°C (64°F to 77°F).
The skies are often crystal clear, so much so that outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and swimming become twice as fun! Autumn also rivals spring as the optimal time for a Halong exploration; temperatures are mild(ranging from 20°C to 28°C0, and the humidity is lower than in summer.
You may consider summer as well, especially if your families want to enjoy tons of water sports and island hopping activities. However, note that this is also the rainy season with occasional tropical storms, so be prepared for some possible weather changes during your Halong Bay cruise 3 days experience.
The dreamscape of Halong Bay promises awe-inspiring adventures at every turn. Why wait? Let’s join Vietnam Backpacker Hostels for the best 3 day 2 night cruise Halong Bay:
Your adventure begins with a scenic 3.5-hour drive from Hanoi, where the bustling city gives way to the tranquil countryside.
Once you arrive at Tuan Chau International Marina, a tender boat whisks you to your Halong Bay cruise 3 days 2 nights luxury. A refreshing welcome drink sets the tone for the voyage, and after settling into your comfortable cabin, a sumptuous lunch awaits. Either feast on fresh seafood or enjoy a tailored vegetarian menu (it’s your choice!) as the boat sails past iconic formations like Dog Head and Swan Islands, as well as the floating villages of Ba Hang.
The first stop on the 3 day 2 night cruise Halong Bay is Luon Cave, where you’ll paddle through serene waters in a one-hour kayaking adventure. Give yourself some time to glide beneath towering cliffs and marvel at nature’s artistry while our guide shares tips for exploring the crystalline bay.
Later, the Halong Bay tour 3 days brings you to Titop Island, one of the best places to bask in the beauty of Ha Long Bay. Some like to swim in inviting waters and soak in the sun on the sandy shore, while others prefer to hike to the island’s peak for panoramic views that will take their breath away.
As the sun dips below the horizon, return to the sundeck to unwind with tea, coffee, and tropical fruits. We highly recommend pairing the serene views with a drink from the bar now that the boat anchors for the night. Dinner is a huge culinary delight featuring local seafood specialties.
Better yet, the evening offers a choice of activities — sip cocktails on the top deck, try squid fishing, or simply let the tranquility of the Halong Bay 3 day 2 night cruise lull you into peace.
You should totally rise early to embrace the quiet magic of Ha Long Bay in the morning light. With a steaming cup of coffee or tea in hand, simply sit back and watch as the bay comes to life around you.
After breakfast, the group transfers to a smaller boat for the day’s adventures.
Your Halong Bay 3 days 2 nights cruise leads to the Drum Area and the stunning Parachute Cave. Everyone paddles through the calm waters and swims in the turquoise lagoons while discovering hidden gems of the bay. Note, however, that if the weather conditions shift, the itinerary might bring you to the mystical Drum Cave or Fairy Lake, all of which are equally enchanting alternatives!
Around noon, recharge with a fresh seafood lunch served aboard your support boat, surrounded by the beauty of the bay. The 3 day cruise Halong Bay continues with golden opportunities to explore, relax, and absorb yourself in this natural wonder before returning to the main cruise for another evening of camaraderie.
Let’s greet your final day on the 3 day 2 night Halong Bay cruise with a stunning sunrise and a refreshing breakfast.
The morning’s highlight is a visit to the breathtaking Surprising Cave (Sửng Sốt). Here’s your chance to wander through this magnificent cavern with its towering chambers and intricate formations that seem almost otherworldly. Our guide will illuminate the history and legends surrounding this natural masterpiece during this Halong Bay 3 day tour.
As the 3 day Halong Bay cruise begins its return journey, take in iconic sights like Incense Burner, Stone Dogs Islands, and Fighting Cocks Island — each a unique emblem of Ha Long Bay.
Mid-morning, you can join a lively cooking demonstration to learn the secrets of crafting authentic Vietnamese spring rolls, a dish that captures the best parts of Vietnam’s culinary tradition.
Savor a final lunch onboard as you reflect on the wonders of the past three days. By 11:20 AM, you’ll disembark at Tuan Chau Marina, where your bus awaits to transport you back to Hanoi. You will arrive at your hotel by 5:00 PM with a camera filled with beautiful photos of the Halong Bay 3 day cruise.
