About Full Moon Party Tour

Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Full Moon Party Tour offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.

What are the Most Popular Routes of Full Moon Party Tour?

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Full Moon Party Tour?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Bus VIP Cabin, Full Moon Party Tour, Apr 27, 2024
I was happy with this VIP sleeper, as for once in Vietnam, we had no bus changes randomly in the middle of the night. Air conditioning was good, and was able to sleep well enough. The bus was half an hour late, but that seems pretty standard in Vietnam!

It was okay, they sold too many tickets and 4 people were sleeping on the floor on a mattress. The bus was dusty and a dirty near the window ledge and in the cup holders. The bus driver was okay.

Bus Sleeper 38, Full Moon Party Tour, Apr 19, 2024
We arrived on time for our bus that had been booked and paid for over 4 months ago. We were not contacted for confirmation like every other company so we had to message to check booking and arrival time. When we arrived we presented our tickets and we were told to wait over there which we did patiently and quietly. They loaded 2 buses of people and 2 men (one friendly and one driver very annoyed) kept telling us to get on the entire time while the lady in charge told us to wait while they argued and no communication to us so no idea what the issue was. Eventually when everyone had been on for a long time while we stood in the heat and one bus left the driver just loaded our bags and pointed to get on while ignoring the angry lady coordinating and we were put in 2 tiny spaces at the back of the bus next to the toilet with a door that banged all night. My bed had a storage space behind and was not full size and did not recline. Tv did not work. My husbands bed was broken and tilted to one side and also shorter and was above mine. He is over 6 foot! We paid for 2 adults and they gave a family big doubles each that had clearly just booked and paid as they arrived (they were charged a lot). The children were little In all this great space. We left slightly late and arrived 2 hours early and not dropped at the address we were given on the voucher and no warning to get off just yelled to wake up and everyone off the bus and the driver took off. There were no grab taxi on out app at 5am and we were not near taxis and we had no Vietnamese to call a taxi. Thankfully another passenger did speak Vietnamese and asked her taxi to come back for us as there weren’t many. A lot of passengers started walking to find taxis as nothing was open to ask. We eventually got our taxi and had to pay for the trip to where we were suppose to go. We were not staying in a hotel there so could not contact them to collect us. I was prepared for the interesting experience of a sleeper bus but they could not have made it worse if they tried. We have been on a clean unbroken luxury bus in Vietnam and we were given information and the driver was safe and informative and made sure everyone had transport at the end.

Bus was 2.5 hours late. The company (full moon) buys tickets from other bus company. Pros: they answer to Whatsapp quite fast. Cons: they get little information from actual bus company. They don't really know when the bus comes. When bus comes, they don't really have a list or check your ticket. You just run and hope it is the correct bus and there is place for you. A poor girl had to sleep on the floor because they oversold (or someone sneaked in and they didn't check). On the way they picked up a passenger who also slept on the floor. Get in quick because you really don't want to sleep on the five seater at the very back. They stopped a couple of times for toilet break. They didn't honk that much during the night. The single cabins are ok, a bit tight if you're an average built person. I slept ok. Honestly there isn't much alternative, I been told the two person cabins are worse because you end up sleeping next to a stranger or sometimes they want to make you sleep three people in a two person cabin. So just be patient and be quick when the bus arrives as to not sit near the drivers or at the back.

Terrible. The bus never came. The staff had very little information and we didn't get any. 1 hour later they did their best to split us between different buses. The bus we were put into was full and the luggages had to be stored in the corridors in a very unsafe way. People had to walk in the bags to move in the bus (to go to the toilet). The poor staff inside the bus didn't have a place to seat because of this. We were woken up at 7 am to be put in a minibus with no explanation. However we arrived only 30mn later than planned but not without a lot of stress and tiredness...

Overall comfy seats and clean bus. Had to get a small car to the big bud meeting point but we were dropped off 30mins before the big bus arrived and had to wait under a shack to get out of the rain. Bus left outskirts Hoi an at 21:30 and arrived in Nah Trang at 7:30am. A few stops for breaks if needed. Two extra seats were sold so two locals slept on the floor in the aisle which made it difficult to use the toilet if needed.

The Bus startet over 1 hour late, with no explanations or anything. Then we started picking up other passengers on the way as well. After 20 Minutes drive we had to wait again for 15 Minutes. The driver answered some other guests very rude. A the TV as well as the WiFi we’re broke. Only good thing: the seats/cabins were comfortable and had curtains.

It was okay. The Bus was super tiny. We are not the largest ppl fortunately. However, we were the last ones being picked up and our Kids had to squeeze into the two seats with even less clearance compared to the other ones. I dont know what's up with that..

we got the seats on the fourth row, seat adjustment didn’t work so we couldn’t make the bed move to a chair position, which was inconvenient. the staff didn’t care. Bus stopped many times inside hanoi to pickup passengers who got better seats even though we paid the same and had no option to choose. Bus stopped in a random station in the middle of the road without explaining for how long the stop is. The seats were clean, bathroom was ok. Staff didn’t know any English.

The bus did not leave from the bus station shared on the tickets. Instead they drove us (my girlfriend and I) in a car for 20 minutes to an intersection on an empty road and had to wait for 10 more minutes for the actual bus to pick us up. This was very uncomfortable and scary because of the uncertainty, it could have been dangerous too, but it looks like this is normal in Vietnam and Cambodia since the bus picked up other people in the middle of nowhere on a highway. I'm never riding a bus in South East Asia again.

It is noisy, especially in the back side. The beds are so confortable, but you will not sleep on it, because of the noise and the intense movement of the bus. If you want to sleep, you will choose the train.

We booked the 9:30 PM connection, but the bus was scheduled for 10:30 PM - no delay, just the times on our ticket were not correct. We were not able to pick our seats, the guy in the bus urged us to take the top seats although the ones on the bottom stayed free for the rest of the ride. Also for me (1,76m) the beds were too short.

Bus VIP, Full Moon Party Tour, May 17, 2023
The bus was over an hour late departing. It did not go from the place stated on the ticket, but an office a few doors down. If I had not contacted them about the bus being late I would not have known. The helpers on the bus treated everyone like cattle, tutting and directing us to certain seats even if we wanted to sit next to the person we were travelling with, shouting at us in Vietnamese. They kept closing our curtains again and again even though I wanted mine open so i could speak to my partner. They really needed a shower and slept in the aisles so we could not use the toilet on board. There was no toilet stop or stop to let us stretch our legs in over 7 hours. It was awful! And this was meant to be the VIP bus, what a joke. It also arrived 3 hours early despite the delay setting off, meaning we had to find a hotel for the night upon arrival at 3am.

Der Fahrer war super. Sehr entspannt gefahren, nur sehr selten die Hupe benutzt und uns am Ende noch am Bahnhof rausgelassen. Perfekt!

Very nice sleeper bus, smooth journey. Only would have appreciated one more bathroom stop (there was only 1 in 6 or so hours).

Bus VIP Cabin, Full Moon Party Tour, May 8, 2023
Booked late the night before for the 7.20am VIP Cabin following day (Hanoi to Sapa). Got to office meeting point around 7am, showed booking confirmation which at first they needed to double check as I assume I booked out of office hours. All fine in the end, got the ticket in exchange and baggage tag (I had one small suitcase and one hand carry). The hand carry I brought with me into the cabin. Upon boarding you have to remove your shoes but are given a plastic bag to put it in (you also bring this to your cabin). The driver didn't speak much English but pointed which cabin I needed to go to. Ended up leaving around 7.30am. The bus did stop a few times to pick up packages but not a problem at all as still arrived to Sapa on time. Space was clean, USB ports work, curtain could close to give you privacy. I'm 1.78m and just about fit, managed to sleep for a bit too (I'm quite sensitive normally). I did have a travel neck pillow which definitely helped. Halfway through the journey another staff member did check tickets. I think the bus stopped twice for snack breaks (I was only awake for one). The driver does shout out 'Sa pa' at the end to indicate to get off the bus. I was watching Google maps as well to check I was in the right area. I was worried at first reading the reviews but overall was quite surprised and journey exceeded expectations. Would do it again!
