After visiting the cultural heritage of Ninh Binh, you’re likely already considering going to Halong Bay for your next stop. Halong Private Car will be happy to arrange a smooth trip from Ninh Binh to Halong Bay by private car to make an effortless transition. You get a direct, door-to-door ride on your own schedule, without the need to worry about set bus schedules or crowded transfers.
How To Get From Ninh Binh To Halong Bay?
Halong Bay is a defining scenic landmark of northern Vietnam, recognized by UNESCO 3 times and also listed as a special national heritage site. It’s considered one of Vietnam’s most iconic natural wonders.
It boasts the extraordinary beauty of blue water and karst terrain that’s rare to find rising from the sea, since most karst formations around the world sit on land. It attracts tourists from the world not only for its unique beauty but also for the experience of cruising, kayaking, and enjoying fresh seafood.
Both destinations are commonly paired on travelers’ itineraries, so finding transport to reach them is not difficult. The distance from Ninh Binh to Halong Bay is about 230 km (~143 miles), about 4 hours. As there is no train or flight connection between the two places, travelers usually choose between a bus and a private car for this leg of the trip.
Buses are an affordable choice among solo travelers, but you have to follow the fixed schedule. Also, they have to catch passengers around the city. On the other hand, private cars tend to be more comfortable due to the door-to-door service and flexible schedule.
