Vietnam has always been one of the top destinations for tourists around the world to visit because of its impressive history, riveting culture, exquisite food, and enchanting scenery; Halong Bay is of course in the list because of so many great reasons. However, many guests have heard of how Halong Bay has been deteriorated as the nature scene is being ruined by a plenty of crowds. These are some concerns that will be explained below, to “justify” for the one and only majestic Halong Bay.
1. Pollution
The first and foremost concern of visiting the Bay nowadays is how polluted it is because the destination has been so famous and wide open to all kinds of visitors for the past 10 years. Along with the open door, sewage created from an overwhelming number of guests has been floating around and bugged the ecosystem here. It was a concern a few years ago. But the authorities of Quang Ninh Province, as well as some cruise operators, have worked hard to conquer the challenge to bring back the pristine beauty of Halong Bay. Plus many hidden gems across the Bay has not been widely known to the public, so if embarking on a reputable cruise with exciting itinerary like Bhaya, tourists can also have the opportunity to step on these off the beaten path destinations and will be completely charmed by how Mother Nature being able to offer so much through time transformation.
2. Crowd
The easier the traveling is, the more people will come to visit. If choosing Vietnam to explore, you got to be ready to see many other foreigners around. Halong Bay is not an exception for its easy access. But there’s a twist right here. When you’re generous with the budget and time spent in Vietnam, it is highly recommended you should reach out to further areas of the Bay, to also be in awe of how vast and breathtaking Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay can return. Also, being here around the colder season is more suitable for most overseas guests as more holidays happened during that time, so you don’t have to cut down too many off-days, plus domestic visitors often cannot travel during this time so you won’t feel too cramped.
Joining an overnight cruise, in this case, is the best idea because the cruise will allow you to travel to as far as you want, especially the charter cruise. In these areas, you can sense the deep connection of self with Nature and nothing else. Time is stopped. Hence, your peace of mind can be recovered from the hustle and bustle of the gaudy crowd.

On a cruise, it is perfectly safe and balanced to enjoy the picturesque scene of the Bay. Also, if traveling with little kids, please ask the travel agent or cruise operator ahead about your concerns so both parties can be comfortable for the upcoming cruise.
4. Special diet

Are you worried that if cruising in a completely different country, the food scene is unfamiliar and makes you struggling through days? Well, eating the right food is important; and here in Bhaya cruises, we not only care about our passengers’ concern but also want to serve the best gastronomy to all our passengers.

So if you’re a vegetarian, vegan, follow a gluten-free or keto diet, or allergic to any sort of food; please notice with your cruise operator ahead of time so that you will be served with the best culinary experience.
Moreover, if little kids also joining the cruise, these adorable passengers will have a different diet from their parents. Their portion is smaller and palate can only receive some basic flavors. Some cruise operators can definitely meet the parents’ demand for preparing a special menu so that everyone in the family will be happy throughout the journey.
5. Expense
