Here we are local travel consultants who like to show you when is the best time to visit Lan Ha Bay:

The first period is summertime (June, July, and August). During this period, it is for the sunny climate, it’s fantastic for swimming and a variety of water activities such as kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, etc., or just simply sunbathing. Besides, based on the local experiences, it is always necessary to check the weather conditions ahead of time, before you go.  

The second period of the year is from August to October, there might have rain and storm. And if you prefer the pleasant weather and the low chance of rain, then the best time for you is from October to December when it is also the peak tourism season of the area, this period is very good for the foreigners who like to enjoy the autumn vacation.  

The third period is the autumn (October – December) will be the best, but this results in the high prices and the crowds of foreigners due to the peak season. But if you care about the prices, then June – September might be the top choice due to the higher chances of storms, but this period witnesses the increase of domestic travels and the more reasonable prices.  From Impress Travel & Lan Ha Bay Tours & Cruises, we are one of the leading cruises and tour operator for Lan Ha Bay Trip, always offer for travelers the saving cost, come here with the outstanding on Orchid cruises, you will have a perfect trip of Lan Ha Bay..

Tour of Vietnam

Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!

The tour was fantastic

I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
