The Private Car Journey from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills
The distance from central Da Nang to the Sun World Ba Na Hills resort is about 35 km. The drive usually takes 45 to 50 minutes, depending on whether you are picked up in Hai Chau, Thanh Khe, or the coastal areas of Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son.
Sun Travel’s private car collects you at your hotel or home in Da Nang and drops you at the cable car station at the foot of Ba Na, with no intermediaries and no pickups of other passengers along the way.
Choosing Your Trip: One Way or a Same-Day Round Trip
Sun Travel offers two flexible formats to match your sightseeing plan:
- One-way transfer: Suits guests who plan to stay overnight at the Mercure Danang French Village hotel on the mountaintop, or who prefer to arrange their own way back.
- Same-day round trip with waiting: The most popular choice for visitors. The driver takes you to the foot of the mountain in the morning (around 07:30 – 08:30), the car waits in the car park while you enjoy the resort (about 6 to 8 hours), and brings you safely back to your hotel in Da Nang in the afternoon.
The Sun Travel driver picks the smoothest, most open road:
- Leave central Da Nang along Dien Bien Phu or Nguyen Van Linh street.
- Join the extended Hoang Van Thai Road, the dedicated boulevard main straight to the Ba Na Hills resort.
- The road is evenly paved, has little heavy-truck traffic and a gentle gradient, so the ride stays comfortable for older passengers and small children.
Choosing a Vehicle Size by Passengers and Luggage
- 4-seat car (Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent, VinFast VF5): Suits up to 3 adults with a backpack or light hand luggage for a day out.
- 7-seat car (Mitsubishi Xpander, Toyota Innova, VinFast VF e34): An ideal choice for a family of 4 to 5; the roomy cabin and comfortable seats keep passengers fresh before heading up the mountain.
- 16-seat van (Ford Transit, Hyundai Solati): Suited to tour groups, companies or extended families of 8 to 14, with a spacious luggage area for strollers and souvenirs.
The base price table applies by the vehicle’s seat capacity (4, 7 or 16 seats).
