TIPS TO PLAN YOUR HALONG BAY CRUISE

How is the weather?

Although this is the last month of spring, May seem more like summer in Vietnam. The latter half of the month often sees a significant increase of temperature and precipitation. The weather sometimes cannot be predicted because the tropical depressions can go through and cause some cold days. Hence, it should be the best way if you check the weather forecast before a couple of days. The temperature is approximately from 29 – 400C. The humidity fluctuates from 75 – 800C but rains are not yet frequent.



Best things to do?
