Kayak on calm waters in Ha Long Bay.

Best time to visit: January, February and March

The first couple of months in the year, Vietnam has pleasant, dry weather and mild temperatures, making it an ideal time to visit. Temperatures can range from 15–20°C, offering cool but comfortable days that are perfect for hiking, exploring caves and kayaking, and we believe, one of the best places in the world to go kayaking is Ha Long Bay. This renowned natural wonder is home to over 1,600 limestone islets and islands, which rise dramatically from the water, making this UNESCO World Heritage Site a must-see. In the months of January, February and March, the weather is stable, with significantly less rainfall and lighter winds which makes the sea calmer, offering ideal conditions for kayaking. On winter mornings, Ha Long Bay is often misty which creates an almost ethereal experience on the water.
