Flying to Ha Long Bay? Here’s Your Direct Gateway

When planning your trip to the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay, your most convenient gateway is Van Don International Airport.

  • Airport Name: Van Don International Airport
  • Codes: IATA: VDO | ICAO: VVVD
  • Location: Located in the Vân Đồn district, Quảng Ninh province, Vietnam, it is the first privately-owned international airport in the country, specifically built to serve Ha Long Bay.
  • International Arrivals: As Vietnam’s tourism continues to grow, Van Don Airport is welcoming an increasing number of international visitors, serving as a key hub for travelers from across Asia and beyond.
  • Distance to City Center: The airport is approximately 50-60 km from the Ha Long city center.

The Arrival Reality: Long Queues vs. Your Precious Vacation Time

Imagine this: you’ve just had a long flight and are excited to finally reach Ha Long Bay. But first, you step into the arrival hall and see it – a sea of fellow passengers all waiting in line. The queues at the Immigration Checkpoint can be daunting, snaking back and forth. During peak tourist seasons, holidays, and even on regular days when multiple flights land at once, you could be facing a significant wait. This is valuable time you could be spending relaxing at your hotel or marveling at the limestone karsts.
