Halong Bay is the most iconic destination in northern Vietnam, but the surrounding bays offer equally stunning landscapes with different travel vibes. For travelers wanting to compare or extend their trip, consider exploring:

• Bai Tu Long Bay: A quieter alternative to Halong Bay, featuring pristine beaches, peaceful caves, and fewer tourist boats. Ideal for travelers who value space, silence, and untouched scenery.
• Lan Ha Bay: Located next to Cat Ba Island, known for its calmer waters, hidden lagoons, and excellent kayaking routes. Great for boutique cruises and travelers seeking a balance between adventure and tranquility.
