You can choose one of these 3 options

1: Join the group tour, pick up from 11:45-12:00 am at the same port

2: Book private day tour 4 hours (as per John's reply above)

3: Book private day tour 6 hours

This depends on your group size and budget. If you are just 1-2 persons, group tour is fine to save the cost. If you dont mind the charge, go with private boat options for more privacy because on these days, the bay is quite busy

Hi Melinda,

What time do you arrive?

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am docking at 12:00, Celebrity Solstice cruise

Ah! Celebrity Solstice usually announces that time, but in reality, it docks at 11 AM or even as early as 10:45 AM. This has happened many times before

Great. So do I till have time to do half day tour to Halong bay?

I would recommend a private boat tour 4 hours then
