Hanoi to Dao Cat Ba Destination Reviews

PM
Everything was perfect. The bus was in time. It was very comfortable and we got something to drink and to eat even if the journey was not that long. Also the trip with the boat to Cat Ba was great. On the Island the driver asked us about our accommodation to drop off us exactly there. Highly recommended.

We booked a ride from Hanoi to Cat Ba at 15h30 the evening before. We received our confirmation in the morning asking us if we could make it to the bus stop at 14h45 to which we agreed. A couple hours later we received another message asking us to be at the station 14h20. We tried our best but noticed the employee from the travel company obviously being annoyed with us not being there on time. Lucky we still got into the bus. There was also some confusion as to how the ferry works and how to get to our hotel from there. We had to ask some people near the harbor to sort it out. Other than that the experience was very good. Drivers were nice and the car was very comfortable.

The trip from Hanoi to Cat Ba was excellent. One star less is because this is an intermediary for the Daiichi Travel company, you should just book directly through them. The bus actually left 45 minutes before schedule; I was informed of this through WhatsApp an hour in advance. Generally, this was probably the best bus ride I had in Vietnam because they have an English-speaking guide on board who will explain everything to you, like when you need to get off the bus and switch to the boat. The bus was also a normal bus with lots of leg space. I highly recommend Daiichi Travel.

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.
