The Private Car Journey from Da Nang Airport to Ba Na Hills
The private car route from Da Nang International Airport (DAD) straight to the foot of Ba Na Hills is about 35 km, and the drive takes 45 to 50 minutes. It suits passengers who land in the morning and want to go directly up the mountain, either to enjoy the resort or to check in at a hotel at the summit, without changing vehicles in the city centre.
The listed price is a whole-vehicle price that includes road tolls and the airport entry fee. Waiting time counts as included only when the trip confirmation says so, and dispatch coordinates the pickup around your actual landing time.
A Flexible Airport Pickup That Goes Straight to Ba Na
- Flight information: Give your flight number when you book. Dispatch uses it to compare against your landing time when updated flight data is available. If the flight is delayed, the pickup time and any waiting terms are confirmed again for your request rather than assumed.
- Meeting you at the right arrivals hall:
- Domestic terminal T1: The driver contacts you and meets you at pillars 1 to 5 in the private-car lane opposite the arrivals hall.
- International terminal T2: A staff member or driver with a name board waits at the exit of the international arrivals hall.
- Luggage help: The driver loads all suitcases and bags carefully into the boot before departure.
The Quick Route from the Airport up the Mountain
From the airport exit the car turns onto Nguyen Tri Phuong and Dien Bien Phu streets and then joins the extended Hoang Van Thai Boulevard, which runs straight to the car park at the Suoi Mo cable car station at the foot of Ba Na Hills. It is the shortest route and avoids the rush-hour congestion in central Da Nang.
Choosing a Vehicle Size by Passengers and Luggage
- 4-seat car (Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent, VinFast VF5): Suits 1 to 3 passengers with two medium (24-inch) suitcases and a small backpack.

- 16-seat van (Ford Transit, Hyundai Solati): Suited to groups of 8 to 14 with plenty of large luggage and strollers.
The base price table applies by seat capacity (4, 7 or 16 seats). Whether the vehicle is electric or petrol is checked at dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Suoi Mo cable car station and the Hoi An station at the foot of the mountain have luggage-storage counters run by Sun World for day visitors. If you have a room at the Mercure hotel at the summit, you can leave your luggage at the reception counter at the foot of the mountain and hotel staff will send it up to your room by a dedicated cabin.
Does the airport pickup price include the airport entry ticket?
Yes, it is included. The Sun Travel driver pays every entry cost at the Da Nang Airport gate, so you do not need to pay extra in cash.
Can I be picked up from Ba Na in the afternoon and taken back to Da Nang?
Yes. You can book a full same-day round trip, or book the afternoon return from Ba Na to your hotel in Da Nang or Hoi An separately, using the same standardised source price from Sun Travel.
How long is the drive from the airport to Ba Na Hills, and where do I leave my luggage for the cable car?
The drive from the airport to the foot of Ba Na Hills takes about 40 to 45 minutes (roughly 30 km). The Hoi An or Suoi Mo cable car stations at the foot of the mountain have a secure luggage-storage counter, or you can leave your luggage in the car if you book the same-day round trip with the car waiting.
If my flight lands at midday, will I still have time to visit Ba Na Hills?
Yes. The Ba Na Hills resort runs its cable cars continuously and has an afternoon-evening ticket that is cooler and less crowded. To enjoy the French Village and the Golden Bridge in the sunset light, though, you should leave the airport before 2 pm.
