Ninh Binh to Ha Giang Destination Reviews

Easy to find options, find locations and purchase the ticket. Great communication from the bus company before boarding. Ability to be dropped at the hostel, simply asking the driver while on the way. Perfect service!

It was fine. But could have been a smoother experience. First, the location supplied suggests the pickup is at the travel shop, to which I arrived 45mins prior to pickup time. 20 minutes after the ‘departure’ time the people in the shop suddenly said I have should hop on the back of a bike with them (with my heavy luggage) to drive 2km to the actual bus stop. I was confused and not happy with this, and after me being stern (which I usually don’t have to be) they ordered a taxi for me which was very comfortable and honestly should have been the first solution. The bus was there to pick me up, but it did smell like urine. It felt like a local bus as no one spoke English or tried to properly communicate. Because of this I chose to not get off at the stops for break because at this point, I didn’t really understand what was going on and just hoping that I was going the right way. There were also numerous other random stops for what reason unknown. We then arrived 2.5 hours after the supposed drop off time. Besides these things, it was fine and I would do the trip again even on the same bus, but I’d choose a different organiser.

First experience for us in a night sleeping bus, it was very good. Trip from Ninh Binh to Ha Giang. Comfortable and clean, good drive (as it can be in Vietnam). They give water bottle. No people sleeping on the floor (as I read somewhere). Left us directly at the homestay. I recommend it.

Bus driver didn’t have our names on his records. Lot of phone calls and messages to supplier and finally got sorted. If we hadn’t been sent the registration number of the bus I don’t think we could have sorted it out given that there were several buses going to Ha Giang and the operating company was not that shown on the ticket. Also would be nice to know where the bus was finally going. The bus said Ha Giang on the front and we assumed we were getting off at the terminus but that was not the case. Can be a rush at 01.45 to hurry to get off the bus which is continuing to another destination

The driving and the lying down seats the whole duration gave us very bad travel sickness afterwards. We stopped for the toilet once. The driving seemed too fast, especially for a coach with led down customers.

The bus arrived almost 3h late compared to the supposed time of arrival. No plugs in the bus so plan to charge your phone first.

We took a night bus from Ninh Bin to Ha Giang. The bus was 40 minutes late at the departure and arrived 3h late to the destination. The sleeper seat are not long enough for my boyfriene (more than 6 feet), so he was uncomfortable the whole 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.
