The train from Hanoi to Quang Binh is the best option for this route. Local sleeper buses are old, bumpy, and uncomfortable for long journeys, making restful sleep difficult. Additionally, there are no direct flights from Hanoi to Quang Binh.
Experience the comfort and convenience of the Reunification Express, with six daily trains (SE7, SE5, SE3, SE19, SE1, and SE11) whisking you through the scenic 676 km route to Hanoi in about 10 hours. Choose from a range of ticket options to suit your needs: soft seat, 6-berth cabin, or 4-berth cabin.
Before booking the train:
Trains arrive/departure at Dong Hoi station in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province, about 40 km from Phong Nha.
While train journeys in Vietnam are exciting, they may not meet luxury or European standards. Vietnam Railways’ trains and facilities are older, with some parts not well maintained.
To ensure availability, book your train tickets at least 2 days in advance. Avoid booking within 5 hours of departure, as the system stops selling tickets by then. For urgent bookings, contact us directly on WhatsApp for assistance.
