Any recommended Halong bay tour companies or better to just go to Catba and sort from there?
Looking for 2 days/1night and probably with flashpackers, trying to avoid families :)

We went with Vega Travel from Hanoi. Price was reasonable, food was good, there were 8 of us on a boat which would easily sleep 16. Went kayaking which is definitely to be recommended and had hot showers. They also pay dock their boat in a smaller cove with only 2 or 3 other boats rather than the main area which gets really full.

Cool. Having done this a few weeks ago I say it is all down to what you want. If you want relaxing then you should book through a few places recommended on other posts, ie the tour agencies just North or\f the lake. If you want fun then there really isn't an alternative apart from to stay at the hostel in town. They charge ridiculous prices and take waaay too much commission but you will have fun and meet a lot of people your own age group and get to know them. If I'd been on a tour agency boat where I was moved around all the time then I would have been very p'd off.

A great way to see spectacular Halong Bay is on a slow cruise through the seemingly never-ending bay of islands. Lay in the sun, enjoy a selection of the freshest seafood, and capture photograph after photograph. Later take a more intense look of one of the islands, "get off the beaten track" at a more leisurely pace. Finish the day with an amazing night's swim in the phosphorescent water. On board the Baitulong Junk take part in boat-watching, sunset and sunrise. Actually be a part of the magic.

We just left Hulang Bay and had a great experience with Ocean Travel.
The price was reasonable, the staff professional, and best of all they have their own "eco" style island resort for you to sleep on. None of this Cat Bah hotel BS.
I can't remember what street they are located on in Hanoi, but after hearing other peoples experiences with other tour companies, I'm thankful that we found this one.
