While exploring various cruise websites, I noticed that they offer transfers from Hanoi to Halong Bay. However, upon reviewing your pricing policies, I observed that transportation costs are listed under the Price Excludes section. I would like to inquire if you provide transfer services to Halong Bay and if so, what would be the associated cost? Additionally, I would appreciate your suggestions regarding the most budget-friendly options available.
