Lan Ha Bay, east of Cat Ba Island in Hai Phong, is far less crowded than Ha Long Bay. Its 400-odd islands are covered in tropical green, with quiet beaches such as Cat Co and Ba Trai Dao, and the water is ideal for kayaking and swimming.
It suits travellers who want an unspoiled bay with fewer boats.
