Halong Bay overnight boat tour or Bai Tu Long Bay overnight boat Tour
We have heard that Halong Bay can be very congested with tourists and perhaps a boat tour on Bai Tu Long Bay would be nicer. Is it as spectacular scenery in both places ? We would like a tour where you have an opportunity to kayak as well. Any suggestions?

Agree with all above. As i wrote on another thread, you depart from the same port for either HL or BTL. I believe Indochina Junk Company has exclusive tour boat "rights" for Bai Tu Long B ay. I thought the overnight cruise was well worth both the ride from Hanoi, and the $$.

We visited Halong Bay with Greyline and didn't find it too crowded. Our boat made a conscious effort to avoid flotillas though I think and we moored somewhere quite quiet overnight. Our cruise had a visit to Titov Island, kayaking, fishing village and cave trips.
