Here’s everything you need to plan your seamless journey to one of Vietnam’s most pristine bays.
1. Private Car Transfer – The Most Convenient Way
If you value comfort and flexibility, a private transfer is the best option.
2. Shuttle Bus – Easy and Affordable
If you want to connect with other travelers to socialize and make friends, Viet Sails offers daily shuttle buses from Hanoi Old Quarter
Tip: Choose seats near the front for smoother rides and better scenery along the Red River Delta.
3. Train or Public Transport (Budget Travelers)
For the adventurous, taking a train to Ha Long City is another experience.
However, this option takes longer (5–6 hours) and may require a short taxi ride to the pier.
We recommend this only if you have extra time and want to explore local life along the way.
