Traveler Riding Motorbike to Ba Na Hills

Grab or Taxi: Convenient but Pricey

Best suited for: Families or Groups needing comfort and flexibility.

Pros: Grab or Taxi is a private ride in a comfy car, and it’s basically door-to-door. It’s fast and very easy to do.

Cons: It’s the most expensive option from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills at a cost starting from 350,000 VND one-way. During peak times, waiting times can extend, along with prices increasing.

 I have ordered an expensive Grab on a busy holiday and waited 15 minutes for it to arrive- it drives me crazy! Time Taken: Approx: 1 hour.

My recommendation: Pre-book a vehicle to avoid price increases, and you can travel in a better quality vehicle.

Public Bus: Cheapest but Time Consuming

Best for: Budget travelers.

Advantages: Low cost at 30,000 VND per person, the bus was the cheapest option. I booked the bus for friends, and they could not believe how cheap this was.

Disadvantages: Slow time, and highly inflexible. The public bus is based on a fixed running schedule; you will need to reach the bus station, and you may wait for it to come.

Time Taken: 70 - 90 minutes.

My recommendations. If saving a little bit of money fits with your travel plans, then look up the running schedule ahead of time, but it will get you there. However, if you are looking for comfort, the shuttle options through VIET DOVE Travel would be a better option.

Time Taken: 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.

My recommendation: For ideal cavorting adventures, but must pre-book to be assured a spot. VIET DOVE Travel is also proud to offer shuttle services to make this option even easier.
