Vietnam Sapa Travel

if travelling in Vietnam.?

I want to see Halong bay and sapa. Should I take day trips from Hanoi. Or just organise Accomodation in these places separately.

For Halong Bay: take at least a two day tour, preferably three, with one night on a junk and one night on Cat Ba Island. If you have time, end the trip on Cat Ba so you can decide whether you want to stay a day or two there to explore the island or head back to Hanoi; organizing this from the island is not a problem at all.

For Sapa: make sure you book a tour that includes a 'homestay' with a local family, these are usually three days, two nights or four days, three nights. The shorter tours may only have some semi-disappointing short treks. Look for Hmong guides; tip generously. Do NOT get angry you feel the locals are too pushy in selling you stuff, they are poor and discriminated against and respond the only way they can to the increasing tourism. When a wealthy tourist meet a poor local, you are not the victim.
