In reply to katherine ray. Hi Katherine, there are hotels at Ha Long Bay, if that's where your cruise is going from. But this is more of a travel agent question as they'll know what the hotels are like and what there might be to do out there. Hanoi is fun to stay at though, especially the old town, if you won't get a chance to otherwise. Hope that helps! Megan

we have a 2 night cruise on Halong bay booked for Dec 25th. We will then go to Hanoi for 2 days and then fly home. We will be in Hoi an and Hue prior to our cruise. Is it possible to stay near the bay instead of going all the way to Hanoi prior to our cruise?
thanks so much, really enjoying your blog! A friend just sent me your link.

Thanks for sharing,
We went on vacation to Hanoi and Ha Long Bay and enjoyed it very much.
The kids loved the cruise and all the attractions.

Ha Long Bay is the most beautiful bay in Vietnam. This place is an excellent choice for an unforgettable getaway and for a trip to Vietnam kayaking. It is a romantic place also. I am planning a trip to Vietnam as we speak, and I will fully enjoy the Vietnam Kayaking trip it’s proving to be an absolute minefield trying to work out who to go with, where to stay, and how to get around. This post is a treasure trove of information. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up.

Hi Dave! I loved Hoi An – in fact it was my favourite city in Vietnam. We also stayed in Hue and drove the Hai Van Pass. Check out my Hoi An post here about where we got clothes made 🙂 http://43.229.60.74/~bloggeratlarge/vietnam/vietnam-where-to-get-clothes-shoes-and-glasses-made-in-hoi-an/

Hi Megan.

Long time listener, first time caller ?.

I have just booked 10 days in Vietnam. All I have booked is first night in Hanoi, a 3 day/2 night Halong Bay cruise and last night in Ho Chi Ming.

What would your “must do’s” be on way South?

Thanks. Dave
