Hanoi to Quang Ninh Destination Reviews

The driver was half hour late. We were asked to give our drop off location so the driver could leave us on the way, but he drove us all the way to Halong and left us without any word. We had to take taxi and drove about 10 km back.

The overall experience was weird, first off the FIRST car picked me up 20 minutes late. He then drove about 15 minutes and parked under an overpass, we sat there for a good few minutes. From there he opened the door and ushered me out with no real reason or explanation as to where I would go. From there I was pointed to walk up the street and board a large van, and while I was trying to board this van the seats were all completely laid back and I had to carefully slide past a woman sleeping in the seat at an uncomfortably close distance from her. From there I thought it was smooth sailing to the port but no… The driver pulled over and started speaking Vietnamese to which I cannot speak (which is my fault). Then all of the woman on the bus were speaking and ushering me to get up and leave the van, and so I did. I walked down the block to find an office for the company of my transport and waited a couple minutes to get a minivan lift to the port. It wasn’t a bad experience, but rather a interesting story to tell.

We stopped at the pearl shop “ Trạm dừng nghỉ eco” (https://maps.app.goo.gl/mBRPSHNXfgYcX39U9?g_st=ic) , just a trick for tourists to buy expensive stuff and bad quality and expensive coffee . Just read the reviews. Apart from that, the guy on the bus was very friendly and giving tips and places to visit in our itinerary in vietnam, he was very kind

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.
