Your details go through WhatsApp so the route can be cross-checked; the vehicle and applicable conditions are only confirmed in the reply that follows.

    Give your travel date, pickup point in Da Nang, drop-off point in Hue (via Hai Van Pass and Lang Co) and a flight number for airport pickups.

  3. Receive the check reply

The Da Nang, Hai Van, Lang Co and Hue day programme

Da Nang to Hue and back with the Hai Van Pass and Lang Co in between fits an 8:00 to 18:00 day of about 120 km. The direct drive to Hue alone is about 100 km and 2.5 hours each way, so roughly 5 hours go to driving and about 5 remain for every stop, meal and visit: pick one main goal rather than trying to see everything.

The remaining five hours: choose fewer stops

The Imperial City is part of the Complex of Hue Monuments, inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site on 11 December 1993. Opening hours of the Hue monuments change by season, so check the current hours on the channel of the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre before you go; tickets are charged by the centre. If the Imperial City is your main goal, keep the Hai Van pass and Lang Co as short stops; if you want a long stop at Lang Co or to enjoy the pass, cut back the time in Hue. See visiting the Hue Imperial City and Citadel and Lap An lagoon and Lang Co.

The pass or the tunnel

The Hai Van tunnel is 6.28 km long and opened on 5 June 2005; the tunnel and its approaches run more than 12 km, cutting the time across the range to about 10 to 15 minutes against nearly an hour on the old pass road of about 21 km. The programme name mentions the pass, but whether you take the pass or the tunnel and where you stop depends on the weather and traffic of the day, and we will confirm for your travel date. See a scenic drive over the Hai Van pass by private car and planning a car trip in the central Vietnam storm season.

Finishing at 18:00 and the overnight option

The day ends at 18:00. If you want later, say so when you send your request; we will quote and confirm the extension separately. If you want to see Hue at an easier pace, see the Da Nang to Hue 2-day 1-night itinerary and the one-way car from Da Nang to Hue. The guide to the Da Nang to Hue one-day tour itinerary goes deeper into dividing the time.

What is and is not included

  • Included: a private car for the whole-day programme (8:00 to 18:00, about 120 km), fuel, road tolls/BOT (the Hai Van tunnel ticket if you take the tunnel) and parking fees for the listed programme.
  • Not included: monument tickets charged by the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre, personal meals; extra stops and time beyond the 8:00 to 18:00 frame we will quote and confirm separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one day cover both the Imperial City and the tombs?

After about 5 hours of driving, about 5 hours remain for every stop and meal, so choose one main goal in Hue instead of trying to see everything.

Where do I check the Hue monument hours and tickets?

On the channel of the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre. Hours change by season; tickets are charged by the centre and are not in the car rate.

How does the plan change in rain or fog on the pass?

Taking the tunnel or adjusting the stops is discussed for the day.

Can the day finish later than 18:00?

You can ask. The programme ends at 18:00, so an extension we will check and quote separately before the trip.

Where does the programme pick me up?

The programme starts in Da Nang and cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off. If you stay in Hoi An, say so when you send your request so it can be checked separately.
