Ask a questionHello... We need more information about the transfer backing to Hanoi. Is it possible drop us off at the airport? If possible, what time would arrive there? We must take a flight around 4:25p.m.... possible arrive on time to fly?
Dear Luiz, Please be advised that the bus will be back to Hanoi around 2.30pm. If you want to get to Hanoi airport, we can arrange a private car to pick you up on the way back and you will arrive at the airport around 3.00pm. However, if your flight is an international flight, you may need a direct transfer from Halong to Hanoi airport to reach there around 2.00pm. Best regards, Cindy
