The Private Car Journey from Hoi An to Ba Na Hills
The distance from Hoi An ancient town to the foot of Ba Na Hills is about 55 km, and the drive usually takes 70 to 80 minutes, depending on whether you are picked up in the old town, at An Bang Beach or around Cua Dai. Sun Travel’s private car offers a door-to-door solution: it collects you at the lobby of your hotel or homestay in Hoi An and drops you at the Ba Na cable car station.
The price shown is a whole-vehicle package price (4, 7 or 16 seats). You can note whether you prefer an electric or petrol vehicle so dispatch can check the arrangement.
Choosing Your Trip: One Way or a Same-Day Round Trip
Depending on your sightseeing plan, Sun Travel serves two flexible formats:
- One-way: For guests staying overnight at the Mercure Danang French Village hotel at the summit, or those planning to continue to Da Nang after the trip.
- Same-day round trip with waiting: The most popular choice. The driver collects you in Hoi An in the morning (around 07:30 – 08:00), the car waits in the car park at the foot of the mountain while you sightsee (about 6 to 8 hours) and takes you back to your hotel in Hoi An in the afternoon.
The Preferred Route Between Hoi An and Ba Na
To keep passengers from getting tired or carsick, the Sun Travel driver picks the most open route:
- Leave Hoi An along the coastal Lac Long Quan Road or provincial road DT607.
- Join the Nam Hai Van – Tuy Loan corridor to avoid the heavy traffic inside Da Nang.
- Turn onto the extended Hoang Van Thai Boulevard, which runs straight to the car park at the Suoi Mo station at the foot of Ba Na Hills.
Pickup Rules in the Hoi An Old Town Area
If your hotel is in the pedestrian zone closed to cars (09:00 – 11:00 and 15:00 – 21:30), the Sun Travel driver will arrange to meet you at the nearest car park (such as the Hoai River Square car park at 01 Cao Hong Lanh or the car park at 332 Ly Thuong Kiet) and will help carry your luggage to the car.
Choosing a Vehicle Size by Passengers and Luggage
- 4-seat car (Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent, VinFast VF5): Suits up to 3 adults with light day-trip backpacks.
- 7-seat car (Mitsubishi Xpander, Toyota Innova, VinFast VF e34): A roomy, high-ceilinged cabin for a family of 4 to 5 that includes older adults or children.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hoi An to Ba Na Hills car price on the website include cable car tickets?
No. Sun Travel’s private car price covers road transport by car only, not Sun World cable car tickets. You can buy e-tickets in advance yourself or ask Sun Travel to help issue them.
Is there a surcharge for pickup at An Bang Beach or Cua Dai?
No. The listed price applies uniformly across Hoi An, including the old town centre, An Bang Beach, Cua Dai Beach and the surrounding communes.
The Sun Travel driver waits at the car park at the foot of the mountain. When you are about to take the cable car down in the afternoon, send a message or call the driver 20 minutes ahead so the car is running with the air conditioning on and meets you at the exit.
How long does it take to get from Hoi An to Ba Na Hills, and which road is used?
The distance is about 55 to 60 km, and the drive by private car takes roughly 70 to 80 minutes via the Nam Hai Van bypass or the extended Dien Bien Phu road.
Does the round-trip package wait for me and bring me back to Hoi An after sightseeing?
Yes. The Hoi An ↔ Ba Na Hills round-trip package includes the driver’s waiting time at the Ba Na car park (a standard 6 to 8 hours) so the driver can take your group back to your hotel in Hoi An whenever you wish within that period.
