Your Halong tours cruise to Monkey Island during the spring months, between March and May, and autumn between September and November. The best seasons allow for good temperatures, fine clear skies, and small crowds of tourists. Such seasons provide an ideal climate for kayaking, trekking, and island tours. You would avoid this place if you don’t like the bustles of crowded summer periods. If your idea is a peaceful stay, avoid visiting in June, July, and August, for this is a summer peak when so many tourists troop to the region.
Pack in such a way that your luggage is light, with wearables for hot days, strong shoes for hiking both Monkey Island and caves, swimming suits for refreshing swims in crystal-clear waters, and sunscreen against the tropical sun. Keep your good camera or smartphone ready for the striking scenery of Halong Bay and playing monkeys. A waterproof bag is also one of those very good ideas to carry, especially while kayaking or doing water activities that are related to your tour.
To make the journey safe and pleasurable, bring medications if you have a predisposition to seasickness. Also, follow your guide in every activity, such as kayaking and hiking, and approach the wildlife on Monkey Island with great caution. Also, remember to stay hydrated, especially during active excursions, and avoid feeding or teasing the monkeys to ensure safe interactions for everyone.
