We currently only have one night in Ninh Binh. We could switch a couple of things around and stay two nights, but we would miss out on Ha Long Bay. Would we be missing much if we skipped out on Ha Long Bay?

Day trip to Halong bay is ok
Hello, I am a driver in Ninh Binh.If you need any information, please contact me. Thanks!
As long as you go to Ninh Binh then no.
Not really.. its way over hyped for what it is honestly
We’re just planning itinerary now and have opted for 3-4 days in Ninh Binh and skipping Halong Bay. I feel very excited about this plan. You can do a boat trip in NB including caves. We did a divineday trip island hopping off Phuket last year so that is the other reason we don’t feel the need to do Halong.
Yes, you would miss the crowds. Give it a miss. Beautiful area but overrated and full of crowds and multiple boats.
Out of the 2 I really would stay in ninh binh
We spent 5 days last May in Ninh Binh and there were lots to see and do. We have done Ha Long Bay also and definitely prefer Ninh Binh
Did both.. absolutely loved Ninh Binh… stay longer. We did 3 nights in Tam Coc but could have stayed longer
I agree. Hang Long Bay is overrated and overpriced. Spend time in Ninh Binh
