5. Travel Tips for Your Halong Bay Adventure

Best Time to Experience Bai Tu Long & Halong Bay

The best months to cruise Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay are March to May and September to November.
During these periods, the weather is mild, skies are clear, and the sea is calm — perfect for outdoor activities such as kayaking and swimming.

Bai Tu Long Bay also tends to have fewer visitors than the main Halong area, offering a quieter atmosphere and clearer waters.
If you prefer a more peaceful and scenic experience, plan your trip during these shoulder seasons.

Packing Tips & Onboard Etiquette

To stay comfortable throughout your trip, prepare a few essentials before boarding:

  • Light clothing for daytime activities and warmer layers for evening breezes.
  • Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and insect repellent for sun protection.
  • Camera or smartphone to capture the bay’s beauty.
  • Passport and travel documents for check-in at the pier.
  • Comfortable shoes or sandals for cave visits and excursions

Safety & Sustainability

Your safety and the preservation of Halong Bay’s natural beauty are always priorities on White Dolphin Cruise.

  • Follow the crew’s instructions during activities such as kayaking, swimming, or boat transfers.
  • Always wear a life jacket when participating in water-based excursions.
  • Choose eco-friendly habits: avoid single-use plastics, turn off lights and air-conditioning when not needed, and never throw waste into the sea.
