Option 1: Deep pockets
To avoid wasting travel time, you can sign up for a round trip trip from Hanoi to Ha Long.

However, you should not return immediately but sign up for a boat tour to explore Ha Long Bay for about 3 hours and have lunch right on the boat (about one million VND).
Minimum time: one day
Total cost: from 16 million (travel, flights, meals, boat tours).
