This is a combination of a sightseeing and 1 night stay on a 18 bedroom cruise on HaLong Bay. The 2nd night we stayed at a 4-star hotel at Ninh Binh and also had an entire day doing tours here. Ha Long Bay was amazing. All the islands on top of the water. Boat was good and the room was big. Food was not the best though. There were some onboard activities and onshore excursion as well. Ninh Bing was very rural. A lot of farms. But the river bamboo boat ride was unbelievable. Went into a few caves on that boat. Then we did the mountain hike of 500 steps. Gorgeous view up on top but well worth the hike. We then had the last tour at a temple of an Vietnamese Emperor. Quite the history. We choose this tour without realizing that we will be living in a 4-star hotel, which was very nice. A few of our new friends were dropped off, with surprised faces, at homesteads or lake side rooms which might appeal to some but not us. Too much mosquitoes. You actually get what you pay for so don't bother looking for something cheap. Have fun in Vietnam.
