Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking private shore excursions across Ha Long Bay, pier logistics, and our on-time guarantee.
Why book direct with Saigon Shore Trips rather than ship desks?
We are native cruise specialists based directly across Vietnam's premier coastal ports. Booking direct bypasses overseas agent commissions and automated third-party desks, giving you personal itinerary design, direct dock permits right at Ha Long Bay Port, and instant local operational support at true direct-to-ground value.
Where exactly will our private guide meet us at the port?
Your private guide and chauffeur meet you directly at your ship's gangway right at Ha Long Bay Port holding a personalized nameboard. Because commercial port terminals restrict unauthorized vehicles, we secure official VIP dock permits so you never have to walk through busy cargo gates.
How do you guarantee we will return to the ship on time?
We maintain a 100% on-time ship return track record. We coordinate with port marine authorities, track vessel satellite schedules in real time, and program safe bay transfer buffers into your return schedule to ensure you arrive back at Ha Long Bay Port well before all-aboard calls.
What is your "No Port, No Pay" guarantee?
Your reservation carries zero financial risk. If severe weather, sea conditions, or cruise line adjustments cause your ship to bypass Ha Long Bay Port, your excursion is protected with a full refund and zero penalty charges.
Are entrance fees, tolls, and transport fully included?
Yes. All excursions are fully inclusive of executive air-conditioned transport, private traditional junk charters, licensed historian guides, cave and monument admissions, express coastal tolls, dock security passes, chilled bottled water, and refreshing towels with no hidden charges.
Can we adjust the itinerary or customize our walking pace?
Yes. Because every booking is 100% private, the schedule revolves entirely around you. Whether you want to spend extra time kayaking hidden lagoons, exploring mystical caverns, or taking a gentle walking pace, your guide adjusts seamlessly.
