Da Nang to Phong Nha Destination Reviews

The bus itself looked brand new, cabin was clean and modern. Bus arrived 30 mins late which wasn’t too bad. However, the driver speeds making every bump in the road and every turn throwing you side to side a guarantee to keep you up the entire time, I only managed to sleep about 15 minutes max. They also kept opening up the cabin curtain and then closing it. So, it’s a way to get you from A to B, but do not rely on getting any sleep.

The bus was late, and there was no way to charge a phone or wifi in the bus, but otherwise, the travel went well, we had a bathroom stop and they provided blanket and water 🙂

Driver was braking and honking quite often, which made it a bit hard to sleep. Bus was okay, the drivers were really nice. Sadly, the cabins weren't cleaned between people. Overall totally okay.

So randomly as part of the bus trip we had to get all four tires changed which took like an hour extra. We got no information of this at any point. There was no toilet on the bus and there were only two official stops and the first one was after 30 minutes.

The bus itself was fabulous- large cabin space and very comfortable. What did not go nicely was a late departure, and I guess due to that the bus driver decided to not make ANY stops along the way to try and keep to his scheduled time for the end destination. This should not be allowed, at the very least - communicate this ‘no stops’ with your passengers. If I had known, I could have eaten before the trip. This is the first bus trip of length over the last 3 months of travelling that a bus has not had at least ONE stop.

Dirty seats with food all over. Language on the first 4 seats because there is no space where the luggage should be. Unorganized blankets and pickup. Over all a bad experience for a vip bus, and an expensive one.

At first the Pickup point we should go to don’t exsist anymore, but nobody gave is this information! We had to call the SAPA discovery Hotline and they said we must go to the bus terminal that was about 2km from the pick up point we went to. There was the bus. The ride was okay, no water as usual. permanent honking, but thats normal in Vietnam. We arrived almost one hour earlier but at another place in town then we should arrive.

I unfortunately slept through the stop off for a toilet break and when I woke I had 2 hours to wait until the next stop. The bus stopped and allowed a Vietnamese lady to go to the toilet, so I asked if I could go also. I was not allowed by the driver and shouted at. A German girl stood behind me and also asked, he shouted “no not now” again. I asked how long, he replied “one” meaning 1 hour. When we had nearly reached the next stop- I was on the verge of peeing myself and crying because of the pain.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
