We plan to have a 3d2n tour of Halong Bay beginning on Dec 27th, but we need to catch a flight back to the US around 4 p.m. on Dec 29th. Is it possible to travel from Halong Bay to reach the airport on time or do we need to book a shorter tour?

@Jack Cohen:

Yes, it is possible. You can check out the cruise early on the last day and book a private transfer from the pier to Noi Bai International Airport. We will send detailed information via your email.

Hi, I'm finding some Lan Ha Bay cruises for 10/07, two days. Which cruise was available for that date? We have 2 people, around USD 320 - 400 per room would be fine.

Hello, I am looking to book a 3 day, 2 night cruise to ha long bay/cat ba island. I was wondering if the transfer would pick up us up at the airport in hanoi instead of a hotel. There would be 9 of us looking to get picked up on January 8th! Thanks

Cruise and location problems

1). No link to make payment

2). It’s impossible to read where (exactly) the cruise will begin and end. The information pops up and is impossible to read. You must know this…? I can’t tell if I need transfers going to or coming back the next day. We are arriving on April 17 at 08:00 in Halong Bay……leaving April 18 at 15:00. Can I confirm the cruise and please advise what transfers, if any, are needed.
