Ha Giang to Hai Phong Destination Reviews

RE
The first driver was a racing driver and too busy with other things. The second part, including the boat and guide, was fine. The bus drop-off at the hotel was well-organized. Everything was well-timed, and we departed and arrived on time.

The ride was smooth and fairly comfortable. However, there was only one break at a bus station about four hours after leaving Ha Giang. When we asked the drivers how long the stop would be, they said 10 minutes, so we didn’t get a chance to have dinner — but it ended up being 20 or 30 minutes because they had dinner there themselves. For a journey of over 10 hours, clearer communication about when and how long the stop will be would be very helpful. The original bus doesn’t go all the way to Cat Ba, so in Hai Phong we were transferred to another bus of lower quality for the final leg (about 1 to 1.5 hours to Cat Ba). In the first bus, we weren’t assigned any specific compartment when boarding, as the tickets don’t have seat numbers. After quite a while and several stops, the staff insisted we move to an upper compartment, claiming the lower ones were occupied — even though they never actually filled up. In the new compartment, the light and USB chargers didn’t work in our compartment.

There were only two of us when we left Ha Giang, so we left 30 minutes early which was great. But then the driver just put us on another random bus which kept stopping to pick up parcels. There was one food stop at 9am, after that just one more 3-minute stop to go to the toilet. At the first stop the toilet was so disgusting that it made me throw up - and I'm really not faint-hearted, this really was absolutely disgusting. In Hanoi we dropped off all the passengers and parcels which took 1 1/2 hours. Then it turned out that the bus driver didn't know where to take us. We had found the address for Good Morning Cat Ba's office in Hanoi, but the bus driver couldn't be bothered to take us there, so he ordered us a taxi. We just about made the bus to Cat Ba, a very old, rickety bus with hardly any leg room - I'm short so no idea how tall people could deal with it. After that everything went smoothly.

Picked us up from our hotel which we weren’t expecting, drivers were happy to communicate with Google translate. Sadly didn’t drop us where we booked to though and we had a 1.5 walk

The first driver to go from Ha Giang to Hanoi was not nice, like he didn't like tourists. He honked all road long... After this we took another bus and the boat and the guy from good morning cat ba was really really nice, they dropped us at our hotel. Too bad the first bus wasn't good...

Overall fine, bus stopped twice for a little toilet break. They picked up a few people along the way also in the middle of the night. Then the driver would put all lights on ahain so you constantly wake up. But the driving skills were ok and at least they were not shouting or on the phone the whole night (which is often the case when taking a bus in Vietnam). Bus was half an hour late but that was fine. We did not like it that we could not choose our seats. We had to go in the back of the bus where we had to find some spaxe. However the front of the bus had plenty of seats available. According to the driver they were reserved for pregnant woman. But it turned out they were for Vietnamese locals as the seats we were first in and got kicked out off were taking by Vietnamese man and no pregnant woman. This we feel is very unfair. It seems as tourist you have to be happy with the bad seats at the wheel or motor of the bus and the locals get the better seats.

If you are over 1,75m in height don‘t hake this bus. Couldn‘t even stretch fully so sleeping was very uncomfortable. Bus arrived 30min early and drivers were in a rush to take off. We arrived about 1 hour early in Cat Ba which was nice. Besides that I would‘t take this bus again …
