We have 3 nights in hanoi and can do only one of the bays (1N/2D). Getting conflicting feedback on the one to choose from natural beauty, less touristy and local touch perspective. Any opinion?
Bai Tu Long is great and less tourist than other pier. We did great trip with Swan Cruise, this is good 3 stars cruise.

Bai Tu Long is better, you can check Swan Cruise or Oriental Sails, you should perhaps book either in Hanoi or online, don't wait until you are in Halong

Bai Tu Long is better and SWAN is perfect. you might want to check the Sawn programme of Oriental Bridge Travel, which are great specialists of the bays

You might be happy if you find these cruises on bestpricehalongcruise.com. Their prices are always reasonable with great care.
