Transport - Air
Describing the Ha Long Airport as an airport is a bit of a stretch. It is best described as a helipad with the Air Northern Service Flight  Company offers an helicopter flight every Saturday from Ha Noi, departing at 08.00H and returning at 15.00H. The USD$200 fare includes a four-hour boat trip and lunch. Americans love it, but they miss do much!

Transport - Rail
The rail only route from Ha Noi involves transiting through Kep, a rail junction on the Ha Noi/Lang Son rail line. The more practical route is a train from Ha Noi to Hai Phong then complete the journey to Ha Long Bay by either road and water.


Transport - Bus
Buses depart from Ha Noi's Gia Lam Bus Station destined for Ha Long Bay (Bai Chay Bus Station, near the Bai Chai Post Office).
 
Minibuses also travel this route with an arrival point at Bai Chay's Mien Tay Bus Station. Air-con minibuses depart daily from Ha Noi's Kim Ma Bus Station to Bai Chay this journey takes 3 hours and 40 minutes for a very reasonable  VNÐ35,000.
 
Buses from Bai Chay leave daily for destinations as disparate as Da Nang, Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City/SaiGon and Nha Trang.
