Regarding your concern, please be advised that the boat will finish at about 11.00 - 11.30 and it is a 2,5 hour driving from Halong Bay to Noi Bai airport so you would still have enough time to catch your flight at 4.20pm if you take a private car from the cruise's port. I hope my info would be helpful and please feel free to let me know if you need more information.

Dear Mr. Mark, Thank you for your question. I would like to confirm that you will have the same cabin for both nights. However on second day you will take a day trip with smaller boat (so as to get you further into the Bay) so you may not have access to your cabin until afternoon while on day boat. Best regards,

Hello. I'm planning to take the shuttle bus. But.. when we come back to Hanoi, I'm worried about arrival time. Because I have to arrive at Hanoi airport at least 5pm.(the flight time is 6:30pm) So, can you drop off me at Hanoi airport not a hotel by shuttle bus? or Do I have to take the private car?

Dear Kim, Thank you for your email and you will need one way Halong - Hanoi airport by private car as our shuttle bus can not drop you off right at the airport (it is 35km far from Hanoi center/ Hanoi Old Quarter area.) Or we can drop off when you are closer to the airport and you can take a taxi to the airport, reaching it arond 5:00pm. I hope this information is helpful! Kind regards,

The cost covers for overnight fee, entrance fee, meals, and other services on board too. If you have any questions please let me know!

This was my first cruise trip and I totally enjoyed it! The entire crew on the boat were very well-trained, friendly and accommodating to your every need. Their English skills were really great which made it super easy to communicate. The package included kayaking, a cave tour, taichi class and cooking demonstration, all were very fun!
