Good to know

Questions, answered.

Going to Ha Long, our guide collects you from your hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter between 07:30 and 08:10 AM. We confirm the exact time with your booking. Coming back from Ha Long, we drop you at the same hotel. Staying outside the Old Quarter? Tell us in the notes and we will let you know what we can arrange.

Tuan Chau International Port, both ways. We drop you there on the way out, and on the way back you board there between 11:15 and 11:45 AM.

Both run the same timetable and the same pick-up and drop-off. The Limousine is a 16- or 22-seat bus with more room per seat. The Shuttle is the lower fare.

No. Children pay the same as adults. On the coaches every seat costs the same; on the limousine van the price depends on the seat row. A return trip is two one-way fares.

Yes. Choose "Return trip" and pick any return date on or after your outbound date. That suits an overnight or two-night cruise.

Each way, a 7-seat car picks you up at your hotel (in Hanoi, in the Old Quarter or the city centre) and takes you to a 9–11 seat limousine van; at the other end another 7-seat car takes you from the van to your hotel. In Ha Long we can also pick you up or drop you off at the port instead of a hotel. Vans leave every hour from 05:00 to 18:00. Seats are priced by row: front 440.000VNĐ, middle 490.000VNĐ, back 470.000VNĐ per person, one way. The front row sits beside the driver and has 2 passenger seats; the middle row is the most comfortable and best for sleeping; the back row is a little bumpier but still comfortable.

Nothing is charged when you book. Once we confirm, you can pay cash when we pick you up, with no fee, or ask for a secure online payment link. Online payment adds a 15% platform payment fee.

Leave Hanoi at breakfast, reach the bay by midday.

Book in a minute. We confirm within 24 hours, and you pay nothing now.
