Good to know
Ha Long Bay has been known for decades as a traveler's dream spot, receiving roughly 6 million visitors a year. Ha Long Bay has more than a whopping 1,600 islands, and is located 144km from Hanoi. They say the best time of year to visit Ha Long Bay is from September to November and then from the month of March to May and that’s because there is no rain and the temperatures are mild.
There are different types of trips that a traveler can make in Ha Long Bay as there really is something for everybody. Couples can have a romantic honeymoon style holiday, backpackers can have a fun bucket-list fueled experience. If you simply want to lounge or take a relaxing cruise, then that’s available too!

Not so bad but don't want to use anymore
First, using car with other person.
The car has seats for 5 person. So before boarding car, there were already 3 people on board. The number of people was fine, but it was inconvenient for the rider to talk or make phone calls.
Second, arriving incorrect time in Hanoi.
We got out of the car for the last time. We had to stop by two places for other person before we got off, so it was late. It took over 3 hours Halong bay to Hanoi station.
Third, the unfriendliness of a driver.
While driving us to Hanoi station, the driver laughed and talked on the phone with another person for a long time.
Our arrival station was Hanoi Station, but he talked on the phon with other person and drove a minute past the distance.
I told him that my destination was Hanoi station, but he didn't understand English and stopped the car with a look of embarrassment.
So we got out of the car and walked five minutes away with the carrier.
