Full Itinerary
Be ready for a four-hour-journey from Hanoi to Halong. The shuttle bus will pick up those who book Flamingo’s transferring services. This is a long drive, therefore, Flamingo shuttle bus will stop in Hai Duong City for a short break. The stopover is equipped with hand basin and toilet. Besides, you can admire and buy hand-made handicraft products there. Arrive in Tuan Chau Marina Pier at 12:30.
Afternoon:Let’s enjoy a welcome drink and listen carefully to the safety instructions. Later, enjoy a sumptuous lunch and admire beautiful sights of Halong Bay. Take time to relax on your own cabin or on the sundeck until 3:00, then be ready for interesting experiences including kayaking at Pearl Farm Village or and climbing in Titop Area.

Enjoy squid cooked with assistance from Chef is an interesting experience that you will never forget.
Tai Chi is a healthy exercise, therefore, it’s a pity if you do not take part in this session. Before being transferred to a day boat for visiting Dark and Bright Cave, you will enjoy a light breakfast with tea, coffee, and bakeries.

Asked by Naomi Lo | May. 30, 2018 10:49
May I ask if we can pay the full price? When I try to pay it's asking me to pay the downpayment first, but I want to pay the full price now. Thanks :)
Answered by Sunny | May. 30, 2018 10:51
Dear Ms. Naomi, Thank you for your question! You can pay the full price in advance for sure and we will send you a payment link for full payment. Normally we request just a 30% deposit so guests do not need to worry about full payment until closer to the trip date as some advanced payment amount can be quite large. Best regards, Sunny

Hey, i have a question. It is possible that we take just an one way shuttle from Hanoi to Halong? We wouldn´t like to go back to Hanoi, we would like to go after the Flamingo cruise tour to Ninh Binh. Do you know about a direction form Ha Long to Ninh Binh on the direct way? Furthen on i would like to know on which day the "Free Hanoi Walking Tour" start? Thank you very much Johannes
Answered by Sunny | Jun. 14, 2017 10:03
Dear Johannes, Thank you for your email and it is alright for you to go with one way shuttle bus transfer thus please kindly no worries about it. By the way, you can take the bus or taxi for the transfer from Halong to Ninh Binh. You can just buy the ticket at the bus terminal (no need for advanced reservation). Our free walking tour: https://www.halongbaytours.com/trip-planning/articles-tips/free-hanoi-walking-tour.html departs daily in Hanoi (from our office) however you may need to let me know the date you want to go as sometime we are already overbooked by the other clients.

The cabin was small but clean and comfortable, there was good air con and the bathroom had plenty of hot water. The staff were all friendly and warm. The food was incredible. We really enjoyed kayaking, however, due to a large number of visitors, the other activities were all very crowded and rushed.

The staff were really friendly, they always made you feel welcomed. Our cabin was nice with comfy beds. Food was great. The most disappointing thing was Halong Bay itself, it was really busy with so many boats and tourists. However, in overall we still had a nice experience.
