Creator's Key Takeaways

We're sailing through Halong Bay. It's just so quiet outside.

I'm glad to be on one of the smaller ones with Vitor rather than the large ones.

And wow, what a lunch that was.

It was a great day in the misty Halong Bay that we had.

✓Consider a smaller boat tour for a better experience.

YouTube Video Description↓

What to do in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam for a Day? This is one of the most picturesque bucket list locations. This video shows where the cruise ships dock and what you can do in port - from the hop-on-hop-of city tour, to a smaller city shuttle, both of which will take you to the Vincom Plaza and the city market for shopping as well as other locations. We take a local boat tour through Viator which included stops at the Ha Long Oyster Farm; a cave, a sampan or canoe ride, and a stop at Ti Top Island for some time at the beach. The boat trip included a large Vietnamese lunch. I highly recommend taking a boat tour of Ha Long Bay.
