Sapa to Hai Phong Destination Reviews

MS
I was nervous to take this bus considering some people's reviews but it was actually a very smooth pain free process. The bus did leave about 45 minutes late but still arrived on time with no issues. The beds were curtained and have a USB port and a blanket. Just like all busses I've taken in Vietnam there were a few stops along the way to pick up and drop off things but I don't find this to be out of the usual. There was 2 stops throughout the journey for bathroom breaks and in the morning one of the workers went around and asked where people were staying so that you can be dropped off nearby (eg at Buffalo hostel which is like 10 minutes from the main stop in town). Bus goes on the ferry so you go all the way to the island without having to transfer at any point.

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.

We booked the VIP20 bus which was super comfortable and had a toilet & WiFi. You can adjust the seats automatic but the first 5 hours, that didn’t work. At one point we were transferred to another bus, which was not a VIP bus. The bus wasn’t even cleaned up, used blankets everywhere, really cold and not comfortable at all. We had to wait almost 2 hours until this bus finally left.

Ba and it was the quickest option with a journey time of 10 hours. The bus was supposed to start at 07:30, the bus was at the depot, but it didn't leave until 08:00. The driver and a helper spent a long time discussing what to do with my ticket, Ha Long was on the bus, at least the direction was right. There were 2 breaks until Hai Phong, which was ok. But it took 9 hours, there were constant stops to get on and off. In Hai Phong we changed to a simple city bus that went to the ferry. The conductor knew where to get off. And she spoke to a fellow passenger who took me to the ferry and had the money for the ferry ticket and the next bus. On Cat Ba there was another simple city bus. After 13 hours I arrived at my destination in the city of Cat Ba. It was a great experience with friendly Vietnamese people. But not what I had booked.

The first bus was good and made a few toilet break stops but they suddenly dropped us off in Haiphong and transferred us to a small public bus without explaining what was happening. Very poorly organised

A very good service. Pickup points were very good and dropped off directly in front of the hotel. Also a very good driver. Gladly again. Thanks.

Alles hat gut geklappt. Etwas ärgerlich war, dass wir unseren Rucksack mit in den Bus nehmen mussten. So wurde es mega eng in der Kabine.
