By day tour (easiest)
The simplest option is a small-group deluxe day tour from $21, which picks you up in Hoi An, drives the 90 minutes to the cable-car station and includes the ticket up. It handles the queues and timing, and is usually cheaper than going independently.
By taxi or private car
A private car can take you door to door in about 90 minutes, but you then buy the cable-car ticket yourself at the station, which is the pricier part. This suits families or anyone who wants to set their own pace.
By motorbike
Confident riders can ride to the base station, but you cannot ride up the mountain itself, so you still take the cable car. The road is busy in parts, so most visitors prefer the tour.
What to know
Go early to beat the haze and the crowds on the bridge, bring a layer as the summit is cooler, and read the full Ba Na Hills guide for timing.
