Tips:

a) The best seasons to visit Halong Bay are spring and summer. Because of the murky seas, the sea is not very bright in the fall and winter. Summer days are brighter and temperatures will reach high levels. The place can be reached in the winter, but swimming is not permitted.

b) The People’s Committee of Quang Ninh Province has voted to suspend jet-ski services in Ha Long Bay in order to protect the world-renowned tourism destination from potential environmental contamination.
