沙巴(Sapa)和下龙湾(Halong Bay)是越南北部最美丽的两个目的地。从沙巴到下龙湾的距离约为435公里(270英里)。不过,从沙巴到下龙湾的交通相当便利。在本文中,我们想提供一些从沙巴到下龙湾的出行建议,如下所示:
以前,希望从沙巴前往下龙湾的游客需要花费令人厌烦的长时间,通过一条需要河内中转的480公里路线,断断续续地移动。
现在,随着内排(Noi Bai)-老街(Lao Cai)高速公路的建成,从沙巴直接前往下龙湾变得比以往任何时候都更加便捷和快速(435公里)。

以下是您可能选择的几种不同交通方式,具体取决于您的个人偏好和预算。
在众多可能的选择中,乘坐卧铺巴士从沙巴前往下龙湾是一个完美的选择,因为它节省时间且无需任何中转点。然而,缺点是这种直达巴士不提供外语服务,因为司机不会说英语。
巴士配备了最新技术,如免费WiFi和电视,确保您拥有舒适且如家般的体验。车上提供旅行毯和矿泉水,让您在车上的时光尽可能愉快。
理想情况下,从沙巴到下龙湾大约需要9小时,与需要河内中转的常规路线相比,这要短得多。这已经包括了两次休息,以便您可以吃些简餐和使用洗手间。

harbor and Hotel in Halong Bay. It takes only 2.5 hours to reach the destination.The price is relatively cheap, only $16/person/normal ticket.
There is no direct train from Sapa to Halong bay however, a train can join a part of your transfer from Sapa to Halong as follows:
From Sapa take a shuttle bus of car to Lao Cai train station (should be left Sapa around 6 PM) and take overnight train from Lao Cai to Hanoi that arrives Hanoi at around 5:30 AM of the next day, spend some time for breakfast. After that, you have to take a limousine van (pick up at your request address) or Private car from Hanoi to Halong bay that will arrive Halong around after about 2.5 hours.
This schedule is suitable for passengers who need to check-in for their cruise tour at 12 pm (all cruise check-in start around 11:30 - 12:00)

The total price will be around at least around USD 40 for person break down as: USD 3 for shuttle bus Sapa - Lao Cai (private car Sapa - Lao Cai will cost from USD 25) USD 25 for Overnight train Lao Cai Hanoi and another USD 16 for Limousine van from Hanoi to Halong bay.
Note: there is a train from Hanoi to Halong, but we do not recommend you using this train on this route as the travel time again is quite tedious for about 7 hours and train condition is not good for tourists.
For a more private and comfortable experience, choosing a private car from Sapa to Halong would be ideal. You can be picked up at either your hotel in Sapa town, Lao Chai, Ta Van or Ta Phin Village. The travel time is also quite short (ideally 8 hours) when using the expressway route.
A big advantage of this option is that you can choose the type of car according to your need, either a 4-seat, a 7-seat or a 9-seat. Therefore, it's perfect for a family trip or a group of friends.

Private Car
The price for a 4-seat, a 7-seat and a 9-seat is $300, $350 and $400 respectively, which is quite reasonable considering how superior it is compared to the other means of transportation. (The price is per car, not per person)
In conclusion, there are no direct tourist bus services on this route (like Hanoi - Sapa, Hanoi - Halong) so you need to choose between direct local bus (saving time but just acceptable quality) or Joined-transfer tourist bus with a transit in Hanoi (cost you extra 1 or 2 hours and more expensive a bit).
