2. Do a Bike Tour

Cycling in Vietnam is an excellent way for travelers to explore the country's tourist attractions. Tourists may rent a bike anywhere in the country and go exploring.

Some people enjoy riding their bikes in crowded places such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Others enjoy exploring further into the countryside or off the main path, such as the stunning coastlines of Hue, Hoian, or Nha Trang, and the breathtaking mountains of Sapa and Mai Chau.

In general, the ideal seasons for motorcycling in Vietnam are spring and autumn. The weather is cool or warm throughout certain months between March and September.

Seeing the beauty and majesty of Vietnam from a bicycle is a refreshing and fulfilling experience. It's now simple to take a bike tour in Vietnam; just choose one cycling trip that suits your preferences, from a leisurely ride through the countryside to a long adventure journey across the country.

3. Do a Luxury Cruise in Ha Long Bay

For those who are looking for an unforgettable retreat, taking a Ha Long Bay luxury cruise is one of the must-try activities. These excursions in Ha Long Bay provide an unforgettable trip amidst the fascinating limestone karsts and clean waters.

Ha Long Bay is home to over 1,969 picturesque islands nestled in emerald waters, complete with diverse flora, stunning caverns, and a rich heritage of culture. Must-see locations such as Ti Top Island, Thien Cung Cave, Dau Go Cave, Thien Canh Son Cave, and Sung Sot Cave are best explored by cruise.

Witnessing the sunrise or sunset from the cruise would be a unique experience for any tourist to Ha Long Bay.

Ha Long Bay cruises typically dock at either Tuan Chau Port or Ha Long International Cruise Port. Therefore, it is necessary to check the cruise's departure place carefully to save time and effort. The drive from Hanoi to these ports normally takes about 2-3 hours by motorbike.

4. Go Kayaking in Lan Ha Bay

Kayaking is a great way to discover the delights of Lan Ha Bay. The tranquil, crystal-clear seas make ideal conditions for paddling through limestone caves, across fascinating islands, and to hidden beaches.

When gliding around the bay, tourists can be captivated by the breathtaking scenery around them. The kayaking areas are Bright Cave, the Ao Ech region, and Ba Trai Dao.

Lan Ha Bay weather, like Halong Bay weather, may be visited at any time of year, with each season bringing its distinct attraction. The best months to visit, however, are April to October, when the weather is mild and pleasant. During this time, the bay's tranquil waters are ideal for kayaking and swimming, and the bright skies create spectacular sunsets that highlight the limestone karsts.

To maintain Lan Ha Bay's natural beauty and sustainability, visitors must pay an entrance fee. A day cruise costs VND80,000 (US$ 3.14) per person.
