Dear Zineb, The complimentary round-trip transportation is only available on the Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi route. Therefore, we'd recommend you using the free bus from Hanoi to Halong and arranging a separate one-way transfer from Halong to Ninh Binh. We would be happy to assist you in booking a shuttle to Ninh Binh at $18 per person. Best regards, Iris

Dear Swati, I am sorry that La Pandora Cruise does not offer a pool. You may consider La Casta Regal Cruise which offer an outdoor Jacuzzi pool. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)

Dear Sam L, The shuttle bus from Hanoi Old Quarter will pick you up at around 8:15 - 8:45 am in Hanoi Old Quarter and start right after collecting all the passengers. The cooking demonstration onboard is a simple class with ingredients prepared and the process instructed by the chef. You also have a chance to make and taste that dish after the class.

Hi there, few questions: - I have a shellfish allergy, can the boat cater to this? - Is shuttle pickup/dropoff to Hanoi free in March 2024? - We (2 adults) would like to do 2D1N and upon return to Hanoi, go to the airport. Can we pay extra after the free shuttle service to be taken straight the airport? How much would this cost? We are considering a 7pm domestic flight to Hue.

Kevin was definitely the highlight of the trip. He was knowledgeable and energetic. He shared great information about the location and was always willing to help us throughout the tour. Plenty of activities like bamboo boat ride, kayaking, cooking class, squid fishing, tai chi. Food was amazing. We are vegetarian and we were served excellent vegetarian meals. Overall it was such an unforgettable time! Thank you!
