Dao Cat Ba to Phong Nha Destination Reviews

There are far more worse sleeper busses in vietnam (as i heard). However i couldn‘t sleep more than one hour and a half. The seats/beds were very hard and uncomfortable and the street was so bumpy and because of the constant pushing of the horn wasn‘t able to sleep in any way. The driver was very friendly and nice and didn‘t shout or anything. He also stopped if you asked if you could pee. The bad thing was: i paid a lot more than usually just to arrive at a more reasonable time (5:30 am). He was waking me up at 3:15 am to tell me (he was very happy) that he did make it in two hours less and that we arrived. The bus was clean. No wi-fi.

The driver of the first ride to Tam Coc drove very fast and badly, gave us a nausea. The night bus to Phong Nha was very slow, did a lot of stops for delivery. Originally we were supposed to arrive at 3:45 AM, but we arrived at 5:30

Booked with daichii had to go with a different organisation, that departed on a later time than they told us, so we had to wait for more than 1 hour. It was unclear if we had to change busses or anything. It wasn't on the app or our tickets. But we had to change busses. First bus was very small and bumpy not very nice, the second bus was great. In the end it al went well
