You got to be kidding, 30 hrs on the bus. I do not know how old you are, but 30 hrs on the bus is the wasted of valuable vacation time. I recommend you to fly from Saigon to Hanoi, even though the airfare fee is very high. Enjoy life, you only live once.

Have a good trip

hix hix hix........

I don't know you have plan for traveling or to join the Resistance.but 30 hours are too much

Oh! Sorry, i didn't make myself clear. It's not one continuous travel ride. It's an open bus tour offered by Sinh Cafe which allows you to hop on and off and stay on longer in a destination you want.

30 hours is total travel time broken down into the ff.: Saigon - Nha Thrang 6 hours; Nha Thrang - Hoi Ann 8 hours, Hoi Ann to Hue 4 hours and Hue to Hanoi 12 hours.

I also just found out that we can also take the train from Saigon to Hanoi but again will also take 30 hours.

I'm still not discounting the flight option. I've found a cheaper flight from Saigon to Hanoi via Pacific Airlines (Jetstar). But the open bus tour would enable us to see other places than Hanoi.

Would appreciate any feedback on this tour of Sinh's.

Hi Shoe,

I don't think changing the starting point of your trip in Vietnam will change the whole plan.

Either you start from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi you can still carry out your travelling plan with a small adjustment.

You can travel with the Open bus of Sing Cafe for the way to Hanoi, hop on and off in Da Lat, Nha Trang, Da Nang or Hue... and when u have to get back to HCMC for the flight to Manila you can take Jetstar Pacific 1 way ticket.

I did the bus trip once in a while, not much tired and actually enjoy it ( maybe because I'm crazy???)

Have funs

you can fly with www.jetstar.com which can be booked on the net or when you are there I purchased Vietnam Airline tickets - Danang to Hanoi for US$56 - there are so many tour operators or Vietnam Airline offices that could help.
