When to visit Ha Long Bay

2026-10-19

The best months for Ha Long Bay, Vietnam: weather, crowds and prices through the year.

Spring and autumn usually bring mild weather and fewer visitors to Ha Long Bay: the light is softer and rooms are easier to find.

The high season is busiest and most expensive; book early, or travel at the edges of the season for the best of both.
