The journey from Da Nang International Airport or central Da Nang to Vedana Lagoon Resort & Spa is about 60 km. It is an intercity route linking Da Nang Bay with the Tam Giang – Cau Hai lagoon system of Hue. A private car gives you a quiet, comfortable ride of 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, so your stay on the lagoon starts without fuss.

Vedana Lagoon sits beside the water of Cau Hai Lagoon, about 40 km south of central Hue. Because it is not in the city core, a private transfer straight from Da Nang saves a good deal of transfer time and spares you from going round the centre of Hue and then doubling back towards the lagoon.

Two ways over the Hai Van range to Lang Co Bay

Travelling from Da Nang towards Hue, you can cross the natural barrier of the Bach Ma – Hai Van range in one of two ways:

  • Through the Hai Van road tunnel: this is the default and best route for most trips. The modern Hai Van 2 Tunnel has four straight lanes and takes only about 8 to 10 minutes to pass through the mountain. The road is smooth, with few sharp hairpin bends, which suits families with older relatives, young children or anyone prone to car sickness.
  • Over the Hai Van Pass for the view: if you have time and want to see the coast, tell Sun Travel in advance so the driver takes the pass. The pass road is about 21 km of bends along the mountainside, with a chance to look down over Da Nang Bay and stop for photos at Hai Van Quan gate before the descent to Lang Co town. This option adds about 35 to 45 minutes of driving.

Once over Hai Van on the private car from Da Nang to Hue corridor, the car continues along the flat National Highway 1A, passes through Phu Gia Tunnel and turns onto the lagoon-side road that leads to the reception gate of Vedana Lagoon.

Stops to consider at Lang Co Bay and Lap An Lagoon

One of the strengths of a private car is that it follows your needs. On the road from Da Nang to the resort you can combine a few pleasant stops:

  • A look at the water of Lap An Lagoon: at the foot of Hai Van Pass, Lap An Lagoon reflects the Bach Ma mountains. You can stop at a lagoon-side cafe for iced milk coffee and watch the simple wooden boats and the rows of bamboo poles used for oyster farming on the water.
  • Fresh seafood at Lang Co: if your flight lands around midday, lunch at Lang Co is a convenient choice. The floating restaurants along the bay serve local seafood such as steamed squid, sea crab, grilled oysters with scallion oil and steamed grouper in soy sauce.
  • Lang Co beach: a long, gently sloping strip of fine white sand at the foot of Hai Van Pass, good for a short photo stop on the way to the resort.

Simply mention the stops you expect when you send your booking details so the driver can plan the time sensibly without affecting your resort check-in.

Pickup at Da Nang International Airport

Sun Travel collects guests at the agreed point anywhere in Da Nang, following a clear routine:

  • Pickup at the airport hall: the driver is ready at Terminal 1 (domestic) or Terminal 2 (international) before your landing time. When the plane touches down, the driver contacts you, tells you where the car is parked and helps carry all your luggage to the boot.
  • Pickup at a central or beachfront hotel: if you stay in Da Nang for a few days before moving to Vedana Lagoon, the driver arrives at the hotel or apartment lobby at the agreed time.
  • Flexible timing: flight schedules can change because of weather or air-traffic control. Sun Travel follows the flight number you give us. The free waiting time and any surcharge for a long wait are set out in the trip terms on the route page and repeated in your trip confirmation.

Choosing a 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle for the intercity leg

A 60 km drive calls for a smooth ride, strong air conditioning and enough seating space:

  • 4-seat car (sedan): for 2 guests with 2 medium suitcases. Cars such as the Toyota Vios or Hyundai Accent are kept clean inside and have a gentle suspension, giving couples on a honeymoon or a private break a cosy space to talk.
  • 7-seat car (MPV / high-clearance SUV): for 3 to 5 adults with 3 or 4 pieces of luggage. High-clearance cars such as the Toyota Fortuner, Innova or Mitsubishi Xpander handle the gentle slopes beside the lagoon well, with an airy cabin and wide views.
  • 16-seat van (Ford Transit / Hyundai Solati): the best option for families of 6 to 12. The individual seats recline deeply, there is plenty of legroom and the rear hold takes all the large suitcases and bags of the group.

All-inclusive fares and clear support terms

Sun Travel’s private car service puts transparency first in quoting and dispatch:

  • Clear listed fares: every quote for the trip from Da Nang to Vedana Lagoon Resort includes fuel, BOT road tolls, the Hai Van tunnel fee and airport parking and barrier fees. Any charge outside the route, if applicable, is confirmed before your trip.
  • Flexible pickup coordination: if your flight or resort schedule changes, tell dispatch early so the pickup time can be rearranged.
  • Dedicated local drivers: drivers from the area with experience on mountain passes and highways who know every local turn, drive calmly and are glad to share tips on Hue’s food and culture.
