Answered by Tracy 8 months ago

Dear GARY AO IEONG, If you would like to be dropped off at the airport after your cruise, we have 2 options available:

- Option 1: Take the shuttle bus from Halong to Hanoi. Once in Hanoi, we can arrange a private connecting car for you from Hanoi to Noi Bai Airport. This option costs an additional $20 for a car for 2 people, and you would arrive at the airport between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM.

- Option 2: Opt for a private car directly from the cruise pier in Halong to Noi Bai Airport. This option costs $110 for a car for 2 people and will get you to the airport around 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM.

Best regards,

Tracy

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

Our first time to Halong Bay was definitely a blast. The scenery was beautiful and breathtaking. Our tour guide Victor was superb. He was caring, informative and always present when we needed. The room, food, excursions were excellent. Nothing to complain about!

We really enjoyed our stay on La Pandora! Lots of activities were included, like cooking classes, swimming, kayaking, Taichi. The staff was extremely nice with their service. Mr. Hung was super helpful, and kind. Totally recommend this for anyone looking for a trip from Hanoi.

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!
