Hi all, as the title says, anyone been on a tour of Ha Long Bay? If yes, is the water clear and good for swimming/diving from the boat?
Did anyone go on the overnight tour? If yes, was it nice or worth it? Or just go with a day tour? Which tour group or company did you use?
A friend told me that the Ha Long Bay tour is similar to the Palawan islands tour - limestone karsts, etc, but that the waters in Palawan are clearer. I'm inquiring for another friend who plans to go there with her family. They're the touring/ shopping/FB type, not the mongering type.
She's debating whether to go to the North (Hanoi, Halong) or South (Saigon, Cu Chi tunnels, Mekong Delta). I have gone to the South but never been oop Norf. They plan to go in January, so weather should be good, no monsoons.
Thanks in advance!
