How to Get to Ba Na Hills from Hoi An

By the Hoi An Tickets Editorial Team · Published from Hoi An, Vietnam

Quick answerBa Na Hills is about 40 km, or 90 minutes, from Hoi An. Because of the distance and cable car queues, almost everyone visits on a small-group day tour from $21 that bundles the transfer, the cable car and the entrance.

Distance and the cable car

Ba Na Hills sits in the hills past Da Nang, about 90 minutes from Hoi An. The cable car up holds world records for length and height, and its queues can be long. Going on an organised tour means your ticket and seat are handled, which is why most visitors skip the DIY route.

Go early

Arrive as early as possible. The Golden Bridge sits at altitude and clouds often roll in by mid-afternoon, while the crowds peak around midday. An early start gives you the clearest views and the best photos. Bring a light layer because it is cooler than the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the Ba Na Hills tour from Hoi An?

Small-group deluxe day tours start from around $21 per person and usually include the round-trip transfer, the cable car ticket and entry to the Sun World park. Private and premium options cost more.

Is the Golden Bridge worth it?

Yes, for the setting and the cable car as much as the bridge itself. It is a modern attraction, but the mountain views, the French Village and the gardens make it a full and memorable day out.
