      Traveler•Written May 2025

      We are flying out of Hai Phong Airport, which is much closer. Our flight time is 13:10 so we should be able to make that with no problems. Correct?

    • Eco Travel Go Green VietnamOperator•Written May 2025

      After the Lan Ha Bay trip, we will arrange a car to Hai Phong Airport for your family. We have enough time to get there from the bay.

    Ivan

    Asked on February 21st, 2025

    I am interested in your 5 day Pu Luong, Ninh Binh, and Bay tour. However, will be traveling solo and was wondering how big of a group I would be traveling in and if it's the entire group that travels together through all destinations? As I am by myself - I would prefer to among other travelers!
