We booked a 2 day trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay. It included a bus from Hanoi (3 hours) and an overnight on a boat in the bay. We did not know what to expect because we only paid US$48 each and were worried that it was too cheap. Lian Choo had asked so many questions to a young lad in the travel shop in Hanoi and we think he got confused and quoted the wrong price. Anyway, we hoped it would turn out okay. In fact we were lucky, he quoted us a price for a standard boat, but had given us tickets for a deluxe boat and then the deluxe boat was full and we were upgraded to a luxury boat with the Imperial Company. It was only 3 months old and well kitted out and they served good food as well.
The Bay is amazing. It is hard to believe such land/seascapes really exist. The sea in the bay is green and has about 2,000 rocky karsts across it - most of them are covered in bushes and trees and some have caves.
