Hanoi if full of history, you will happily get lost in all types of museums and temples. It’s a beautiful city and not to mention, an affordable city for all types of budgets. Hanoi is perfectly situated and you can find connecting vans, private cars or buses to cities like Sapa, Halong Bay, Ninh Bin etc. ​

Hanoi

Surprisingly enough Cat Ba Islands aren’t a common household name like Hanoi or Halong bay but it’s a beautiful island nonetheless that’s worth visiting. You can easily book a bus from Hanoi that will take roughly four hours. While it’s not a hugee Island compared to others, we recommend spending at least a few days there. You can get lost simply by watching the sunset or the fisherman work. If motorbikes are your thing, it’s a great way to see the city, you can even join a tour where you’ll pass small villages and get insider information. Going on treks is another great way to get aquainted with the Island and see breathtaking views. When you’re ready to move on to Hanoi or Ninh Binh, you can take one of our comfortable direct buses. ​
