If you fly into Saigon, you will need to take another flight to Dong Hoi Airport to reach us. If you fly into Hanoi, you can reach us by flight, bus or train. From Da Nang, you can reach us by bus or train. Please see more information regarding domestic travel further below.
BUS TRAVEL
Travelling by a bus is a great way to meet travellers going to the same destination! The buses are sleeper-type, air-conditioned, and occasionally have wi-fi, if you are lucky. There is a small toilet at the back of the bus and you will make quick stops along the way, where you’ll find basic toilet facilities. Most bus companies stop directly in Phong Nha. Therefore, the bus option is becoming a popular choice among travellers.
TRAIN TRAVEL
Trains are an enjoyable way to travel and see the countryside. They are especially comfortable if you purchase a ticket in a soft-sleeper cabin. There are only 4 beds in the cabin, so there is enough room to sit up or lie down. A hard-sleeper cabin does not provide enough room to sit up, and there are 6 beds per room. Overnight trains are also a good option as you not only get somewhere to sleep for the night, but also avoid missing out on one day of adventure.
Unfortunately, train schedules cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, if you plan to take part in any 1-day tour, we advise that you travel directly by bus, arriving in Phong Nha, on your tour commencement date. Or, if you choose to fly, or travel by train, you should plan to arrive in Phong Nha a day before the tour commences.
You can check the train schedule via the Vietnam Railways official website http://dsvn.vn (English/Vietnamese) to book your train tickets in advance.
