You can go by open tour if you don't returning to Hanoi.

Hi,

No way to go straight to Sapa from Halong. You must return Hanoi and catch the night train to Sapa.. It takes around 8 hours to arrive at Lao Cai train station. besides night train, you could have an other option is the night bus, still the same time to the train but the cost is cheaper.
If you prefer the airline, Vietnam Airlines offers the line from Hanoi to Dien Bien Phu airport which is 4 hours ride from Sapa.

I think train travel is the easiest and most common way to travel to Sapa. take a night train will safe your time and much more convenient than taking an open bus. plane is not a good choice due to you need an other transfer.

I had done the same route last year. After Halong Bay tour and returned to Hanoi and took the night train to Lao Cai. Our car and guide picked us up, transferred to Sapa town and started our Sapa trekking tour. And also, a night train on the way back, nice place and interesting experience. I think you should take this option if you enjoy this tour.
