Along the way we will explore the caves and temples of the Marble Mountains, take a swim at the Elephant Springs and try some delicious local food.

Route – Hai Van Pass from Hoi An in a day

Sights & Highlights

Your Easy Rider will pick you up at your accommodation in Hoi An in the morning. Helmets and protective gear on – and we are ready to go!

Along the coast we drive to My Khe Beach, where locals specialize in traditional sculpture. Next up are the Marble Mountains: in one of these five mountains we find several spectacular tunnels, caves and temples.

Afterwards it’s time for the Hai Van Pass – camera in hand! – where we will stop at the top for a beautiful view over the coastline of Danang. We continue our way over the pass and stop at Lang Co Beach to enjoy the white sand in combination with beautiful clear blue water. During lunch your Easy Rider can help you choose a local (seafood) dish that you like.

After lunch we’ll drive to the Elephant Springs, a small waterfall that flows into a wonderfully refreshing natural spring. Care for a swim? At the end of the afternoon, we drive back to Hoi An along countryside roads and check out beautiful rice paddies. We finish the tour by dropping you off at your ho(s)tel.

The program above is a general description of the route. All tours are subject to change based on your Easy Rider’s own insight, depending on factors as weather, traffic and time. If you have specific wishes or ideas you can let us know in advance or discuss them with your guide at the start of the tour.

For more info about luggage, travel with family or the booking process please see our helpful FAQ page .

Pick-up & Drop-off

The tour starts around 8 AM in the morning. After booking with us, one of our Easy Riders will contact you with the exact pick-up time. Your Easy Rider will pick you up at your hostel or hotel in the departure city.

At the end of your tour – usually late afternoon, before dinner – you’ll be dropped off at the accommodation of your choice in the destination city. Make reservations before arrival, because our riders only make one stop for drop-off.

Arriving by bus or train?

We can arrange pick-ups and drop-offs at bus or train stations if you arrive before 9 AM in the morning. Start your tour fresh of the night bus or train – we’ll stop for breakfast along the way! Provide us with the necessary information (departure and arrival station, name of the bus company, estimated time of arrival) by adding it to the booking form.

If you have a flight on the night your tour ends, our guides are happy to drop you off at the airport of the arrival destination. Just make sure you allow enough time for check-in and boarding.

Most asked & answered

What is an Easy Rider motorbike tour?

An Easy Rider is a Vietnamese guide on a motorbike . Our Easy Riders are English-speaking, licensed tour guides who know the ins and outs of Vietnamese roads, nature, history and culture. Touring with an Easy Rider means that you comfortably sit on the back of the motorbike behind the guide – wearing protective gear – while you travel from one city to the next, stopping regularly to enjoy sights, local experiences, drinks and meals.

Tours start between 8 and 9 AM, and end between 3 and 5 PM. Your Eay Riders picks you up and drops you off at your accommodation. Multiple day tours include overnight stays.

How to book (availability, payment)

Availability Use the calendar at the top of the tour page to check availability for the preferred date(s).

Booking On the tour page, fill in the number of people you book for – choose between sitting behind the guide and self-driving – and select the date(s). Click ‘book now’ and follow the steps to complete your booking.

Payment You pay a small deposit by online payment; the remaining amount you pay at the start of the tour.

➡️ More info: How do I pay for the tour? | Why do I pay in Euros?

Confirmation You receive an automatically generated booking confirmation. Within 48 hours of booking, our head Easy Rider Mr. Vu will also email you to confirm your tour.

⚠️ Please check the spam folder, as sometimes his email ends up here.

How far in advance should I book? You can book tours departing from Dalat, Hoi An and Hue shortly beforehand. For popular multiple-day tours (like the Ha Giang Loop), we advice you to book ahead. It’s okay if you don’t know your pick-up or drop-off location yet, you can let us know later.

Self-driving & International Driving Permit

On the tour, you can drive yourself if you are:

• a party of at least two people; on every tour at least one person sits behind an Easy Rider.
• in possession of a valid motorcycle license (A1 or A2), and;
• in possession of a valid 1968-version of the International Driving Permit (IDP) , obtained in your home country;

We will make sure to get you a well maintained motorbike (manual or clutch) and protective gear. The rate for sitting on the back or driving your own bike is the same, gasoline is included.

For safety reasons, we don’t allow passengers on the motorbikes for self-driving .

Each person can bring one (1) backpack or suitcase (max. 20 kg / 44 lbs) and one (1) daypack or handbag on the tour. Even pretty big hard scale suitcases can be tied to the back of the motorbike as long as they are not over 20 kg (44 lbs); it’s more about weight distribution than size.

All luggage is put in waterproof bags and tied to the front or back of the motorcycle.

➡️ More information about luggage during your Easy Rider tour.

Is it a private tour or do we ride in groups?

On most occassions, it’s just you and your Easy Rider(s) : a private tour.

During peak seasons (July & August, November – February), we sometimes combine multiple bookings to a small group. This group then consists of all the guests who have booked the same route on the same date(s). This is most common on our popular day tours (covering the Hai Van Pass).

Our Ha Giang Loop tours are always private tours. For us, this is an important way to distinguish our tours in this region from the awfully big groups some operators ride with.

If you are travelling by yourself and would love to join another group,  here’s what you can do .

✅ 30+ years experience

✅ Certified guides

✅ Nationwide coverage

✅ 4.9 / 5.0 rating based on 1.400+ reviews

Start your motorbike adventure when your want, where you want. Our Easy Riders will pick you up and drop you off at locations of your choosing.

SAFETY FIRST

Your safety is our primary concern. During the tour you wear a helmet and protective gear for your upper body and knees – even if you are sitting on the back of the motorbike.

The Best Day Trip From Hoi An Compared

• February 4, 2019
• Katerina Moschogianni

Exploring Hoi An’s nearby regions on a day trip is the perfect opportunity to come face to face with the real Vietnam. Hoi An is surrounded by gorgeous countryside, historical monuments, stunning passes, breathtaking views, exotic islands, and surreal fantasy parks. Given Hoi An’s popularity and development as a tourist destination, it is relatively easy to travel around. Either on an organised tour or a do-it-yourself trip. So with all the options on offer, picking the right destination might prove to be a bit of a challenge!

So to help you choose the best trip and make the most of your vacation time, we’ve provided a list of the best day trips around Hoi An. They are based on your interests, fitness level, special requirements, cost, transit time, and duration. So have a read below and see what amazing day trips are available.

Why Do A Day Trip Around Hoi An?

Hoi An has a way of hooking you in. Firstly because it is Vietnam’s most atmospheric and mesmerising city, but it’s also because it is the perfect starting point to explore Central Vietnam. In just an hour or two on a day trip from Hoi An, you can find yourself in some of Vietnam’s most famous destinations. So it’s no coincidence that most visitors plan on spending one or two days here but then end up staying longer. Hoi An offers a great variety of hassle-free day trips for all tastes, ages, and budgets, which will make your holiday unforgettable.

Whether you’re in the mood for exploring the treasures of the sea, or riding through the lush Vietnamese mountains, perhaps even stepping back into Cham’s ancient civilization , Hoi An’s neighbouring areas all hold something special for you to discover on a day trip.

Best Day Trips From Hoi An:

Hai van pass.

Road Length: 21 kilometres (30 minutes) Distance from Hoi An: 60 kilometres (1 hour and 30 minutes) Duration:  Allow for a full day as transit time will vary depending on your mode of transport

The Hai Van Pass is undoubtedly the most impressive scenic stretch of road in Vietnam. In 2008, it was described by BBC’s Top Gear as a “deserted ribbon of perfection” and one of the “best coast roads in the world” Since then, the road’s fame has escalated and travellers from all over the world have been coming here to experience it first-hand.

Hidden Hint : Allow yourself a few hours to complete the ride. There are so many scenic viewpoints to take in!

The Journey

Located an hour and 15 minutes outside Hoi An, driving the 21-kilometre long Hai Van Pass is a must-do day trip. S ituated 500 metres above sea level, y ou’ll be rewarded with mesmerizing views like misty mountains, deserted sandy beaches, fishing villages, and lush forests. So if you’re an experienced motorbike rider, then renting a bike and driving yourself is the best way to experience Vietnam’s best road. However, if you are not confident driving a bike and like to sit back and enjoy the scenery, then try a Guided Motorbike Tour. You’ll still get the full experience but with a local driver on a comfortable passengers’ bike. Without the worry of navigating the road or finding the best places to stop.

If you’re travelling with children, as a group, or with people with limited mobility, there are also open jeep tours available. So this way you’ll not only share the whole experience with your loved ones but also the cost. For a group of three or more, this might be one of the most economical options. You can find out all the details on the Hai Van Pass route and the different tours on offer in our article here .

Ba Na Hills

Opening Hours: 7:30 am – 9:30 pm Average Time On Site: 7 hours – allow for a full day Distance from Hoi An : 55 kilometres (1 hour and 30 minutes)

Tickets: Adults: 700,000 VND (30 USD) / Children (1-1.3 metres tall): 550,000 VND (23.50 USD)

Often referred to as the Disneyland of Vietnam, the Ba Na Hills amusement park is the perfect day trip from Hoi An.  A great way to spend the day with family and friends. It is located 1,500 metres above sea level in the Truong Son Mountains. This resort is set to attract increasing numbers of tourists—for a good reason. Its surreal mix of mystical castles, amusement park rides, and pagodas offer one of the most exciting experiences in Vietnam.

Hidden Hint : Arrive as early as possible since this place can get very crowded!

Here, you’ll find yourself walking in the clouds across the Golden Bridge, riding one of the longest cable car rides in the world, taking in vistas of stunning tropical flowers, admiring a giant 27-metre Buddha statue, strolling around the cobblestone streets of a massive French medieval style replica town, and finding your inner child inside a 21,000 square metre indoor fantasy park.

So whether your idea of fun is to enjoy a glass of Bordeaux or seek further adrenaline rush on a 29-metre tower drop, Ba Na Hills has something for the whole family and is the perfect place to escape reality for a day.

But before your visit, make sure you’re prepared for the experience (it can be quite intense!) and read our comprehensive Ba Na Hills guide here .

Cham Islands

Public Ferry Ticket: 150,000 VND (7.50 USD) Entrance Fee in Marine Protected Area :   70,000 VND (3.50 USD) Distance from Hoi An : 9 nautical miles (1 hour and 30 minutes) Duration:  Allow for a full day

This is your chance to leave behind the town of Hoi An and take a day trip in an idyllic tropical paradise. Because this beautiful marine protected cluster of eight islands, known as the Cham islands, is one of the least developed areas in Vietnam. A day trip to the Cham Islands also rewards you with wonderful beaches, tropical nature, and colourful marine life. Therefore snorkeling, diving, trekking, and fishing are the most popular activities to indulge in.

It’s also an ideal day trip for families and those who are looking for tranquility and relaxation. You can reach the island by ferry boat, and it takes about 90 minutes. Find out more about the Cham Islands and how to get there in our article here .  

Hidden Hint : Best time to dive and snorkel is from June to August.

My Son Sanctuary

Tickets: 150,000 VND (6.50 USD) Opening Hours: 6:30 am to 5 pm Average Time On Site: 2 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours Distance from Hoi An: 40 kilometres (1 hour) Duration: Can be done as a half or full-day trip

My Son Sanctuary is a UNESCO World Heritage site and also a great example of the ancient Cham Empire civilization. Often referred to as a “mini Angkor Wat,” My Son is a Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Shiva.  Believed to be the longest inhabited archaeological site in Indochina. The Champa dynasty ruled central Vietnam for 900 years. They also built at least 70 structures in the area between the 4th and 14th century. But unfortunately, only 18 survived the American bombings during the war in 1969.

Hidden Hint : Visit after 2 pm to avoid tour groups, the midday sun, and enjoy the temples in peace.

Today, it is an atmospheric complex of brick ruins, including temples, towers, and altars, partially reclaimed by nature. It’s considered one of the most important heritage sites in Southeast Asia. One of the few of this nature like it in Vietnam. Located just 40 kilometres southwest of Hoi An, it’s the perfect day trip for those who are interested in architecture, history, and also ancient civilizations.

You can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find yourself in a serene untouched time capsule. But the nature of the site makes it inaccessible to people with walking disabilities and you’ll need a reasonable fitness level to visit . You can find out more on My Son’s site in our article here .

Marble Mountains

Entrance Ticket: 40,000 VND (2 USD)   Elevator cost : 15,000 VND (0.75c USD) Opening Hours: 7 am to 5:30 pm Average Time On Site: 1 hour and 30 minutes to 4 hours Distance from Hoi An : 20 kilometres (27 minutes) Duration: Can be done as a half or full-day trip

Located just off the coastal road between Da Nang and Hoi An, the Marble Mountains are the shortest day trip you can do from Hoi An. This cluster of marble and limestone hills, riddled with caves and grottos, has also been a centre of worship since the time of the ancient Champa. Some of the larger caves been transformed into religious shrines and pagodas. It’s hard to find any other site in Vietnam that contains such religious diversity and magnificent scenery like it.

Hidden Hint: If you’re travelling with children or those with limited mobility, then avoid the 156-step climb at the main entrance and take the lift.

Exploring the Mountains

Each of the five mountains is named after one of the five elements: water, wood, fire, metal and earth. But the main one, Thuy Son (water) is the only one open to tourism.  A visit to the top of the mountain also offers spectacular views of Da Nang, Non Nuoc beach, and the surrounding Marble Mountains.

If you’re a cultural history buff, don’t miss feeling the depth of history and spiritual serenity here. Those feeling adventurous can also try climbing up or repelling down into a couple of caves. People with limited mobility and young children will struggle to reach the majority of the caves. But they can still enjoy the unique ambience, most of the temples and some great views by using the recently installed lift.  You can find more information on the Marble Mountains and tours in our article here.

Tam Thanh Mural Village

Distance from Hoi An: 45 kilometres (1 hour) Duration: Can be done as a half or full-day trip

In just an hour’s drive from Hoi An, you’ll find yourself in a one-of-a kind street gallery on this day trip. The murals here depict portraits of local faces and scenes from everyday Vietnamese life. At first, it might look like any other small fishing village in Central Vietnam. But once you stroll down its alleys, you will discover unique street art project brought to life.

Inspired by Korean mural villages, Vietnamese and South Korean artists came to paint over 100 residents’ homes with colourful murals in June 2006. The aim was to promote “art for a better community” and also to boost local tourism. Inevitably, the murals brought this struggling village back to life, making it a popular tourist attraction.

Hidden Hint : End your day at the pristine Tam Thanh Beach, away from the crowds of Hoi An

This is the first project of its kind in Vietnam, and is therefore well worth a day trip from Hoi An. It’s also a great destination for the whole family. Children will enjoy the bright colours and youngsters will appreciate the art. Similarly older couples will enjoy a picturesque walk along its quiet alleys. However visiting Tam Thanh will not only give you the perfect Instagram photo—it’s also a chance to support the local community. But before visiting, read our tips in our full article here .

Hidden’s Thoughts

Hoi An’s surrounding areas are blessed with significant sites and unparalleled natural beauty. So once you’re in Hoi An, don’t miss your chance to go on a day trip and visit some of the most important monuments of the country. Get out and experience what Central Vietnam has to offer. No matter if you are a history buff, motorbike lover, crazy Instagrammer, art enthusiast, thrill seeker, or laid-back traveller. There’s something for everyone in just an hour or two from Hoi An.

Now that you know what’s nearby, there’s nothing left but to choose your favourite activity. So remember to read the links to our full articles in order to make the most out of your day trips around Hoi An.

Hai Van Pass Guide: Tips & Essential Stops!

Table of Contents

This post may contain affiliate links to things like tours, hotels, Amazon associates and products. These help me earn a small commission at no additional charge to you.

I recently took an incredible trip along the Hai Van Pass in Vietnam; a road trip I’ll remember for a very long time! I’d been wanting to drive the Hai Van Pass, voted one of the most beautiful coastal drives in the world by the Guardian, since I visited Vietnam in 2015. Back then, I was short of time so opted for the bus to get between Hue and Hoi An. The bus travels through a tunnel and skips the views which is a crying shame! When I travelled through central Vietnam with friends a few weeks back, their timeframe was even tighter as they had an exit flight booked from Saigon . We opted for the Hai Van Pass train as our mode of transport which soaked up some views but not all of them.

Basically, the Hai Van Pass was high on my Southeast Asia bucket list . The time became right when my friend Lola of  Miss Filatelista invited me to join her on a weekend trip to the gorgeous city of Hue . We decided to kill two birds with one stone and travel from Hoi An to Hue on the Hai Van Pass – something that turned out to be as worthwhile as the getaway to Hue itself!

If you’re including both Hue and Hoi An in your Vietnam itinerary , you’ll have to pass through this area anyway. Why not turn it into an unforgettable road trip through the mountains, stopping at pristine beaches along the coast?

Hai Van Pass history

Located on Highway 1 between Thua Thien-Hue Province and Da Nang, the highest road in Vietnam (500m above sea level) translates as ‘Sea Clouds’ because it stretches from one to the other. It traditionally acted as a geographic boundary between the ancient kingdoms of Champa and Dai Viet. To this day, you can spy the gate that acted as the border crossing between the two kingdoms. During the horrific ‘American War’, the Pass was dubbed the ‘Street Without Joy’ because it connected two of the worst affected cities, Da Nang and Hoi An. In the 2008 Hai Van Pass Top Gear episode, Jeremy Clarkson dubbed it a ‘deserted ribbon of perfection’. While I despise the man and his political views, he was right about this!

Where to begin your Hai Van Pass journey?

There are three main places to begin the adventure: Hoi An , Da Nang and Hue . The first two are south of the Pass, and Hue is north. It doesn’t matter which Hai Van route you take because you’ll see the same sights but in reverse. If you’re travelling Vietnam from south-north, begin in Hoi An, and if you’re travelling north-south, begin in Hue.

How to travel the Hai Van Pass: modes of transport

Hire a motorbike: Many people drive the Hai Van Pass on a motorbike. It’s a fun and adventurous option with all power to you. Keep reading for my tips. Easy Rider tours (on the back of a guide’s motorbike): This is a great option if you want the motorbike experience but you’re not comfortable driving – I don’t blame you. There are Easy Rider centres in every city or you can book a 1-day Hai Van Pass tour from Hue or Hoi An/Da Nang in advance. By car : to travel the Pass (either from Hue to Hoi An/Da Nang or in reverse), take this 1-day Hai Van Pass tour by car . By Jeep: by far the coolest option! Take a 1-day Jeep tour of the Hai Van Pass .

Which mode of transport is best? For an adventure, riding by motorbike is most fun. But having done the Hai Van Pass Jeep tour, I don’t think you can beat it. We had the opportunity to put the top on for shade or ride with it off.

Advice for Hai Van Pass motorcycle rental

If you’re keen to drive the Pass yourself, ensure you have practised driving a scooter in Vietnam already. Highway 1A is paved and in good condition but the hairpin bends are not for the inexperienced! There are several places to hire motorbikes in Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An but it’s worth doing some research to ensure you’re getting a quality rental. Expect to pay around 100-200k VND per day. Tips for hiring a bike:

• Inspect your bike before leaving the rental place. Check the breaks and lights are working properly.
• Check the tires are in good condition. If not, you’re vulnerable to puncturing and skidding.
• Photograph any scrapes or damage to the bike in case you’re charged for it on return.
• Insist upon a helmet. These have been legal since 2007 so you may get fined without one and, more importantly, they could save your life!
• Check you’re travelling with insurance that covers riding a scooter. I recommend True Traveller  for European travellers, Hey Mundo  for other nationalities and Safety Wing  for digital nomads.

Companies including Hoi An Bike Rental will organise luggage transfers for as little as 40k VND. It will be waiting at our hotel when you arrive in Hue/Da Nang/Hoi An.

Tips for driving the Hai Van Pass by motorbike

• Fill up on gas in Hoi An/Da Nang/Hue before embarking on the Pass; there’s nowhere to refuel along the way
• It’s not uncommon for cars and lorries to turn blind corners at speed. Proceed with caution!
• Check the weather before setting off especially during the rainy season. Not only could heavy rain prove hazardous but you’d also miss out on the views.
• It’s best to start the drive after 8-9am when the morning fog has lifted.
• Get the app Maps.me and download the maps for Vietnam. Especially if you don’t have data, it’s a great offline tool.
• To stay connected on the Pass and in Southeast Asia, get an E-sim data plan .
• Use all my Southeast Asia travel tips for safety, navigation and more!

Hai Van Pass distance

The Pass measures 21km but the complete distance between Hue and Hoi An is 170km . You should set aside 5-6 hours for the complete journey, or longer if you want to relax on the beaches.

Best stops on the Hai Van Pass

I’m going to run through the highlights of our day trip with photos. These are the spots I’d recommend you don’t miss whether you’re travelling by car or scooter, independently or on a tour! These stops are listed as if you’re coming from Hoi An. If you’re coming from Hue, reverse them.

Note – if you’re taking a Hai Van Pass tour, check the itinerary to see what’s included as different companies may have different itineraries.

Here are the best Hai Van Pass stops:

Just 20 minutes from Hoi An lies Vietnam’s fastest-growing city, Da Nang. It’s not somewhere I’ve really explored before – if you know how much charm Hoi An has, you’ll understand why I don’t exactly make pilgrimages to this urban city. However, it was cool to check out the sights before we properly got on the road for the day. The colourful fishing boats in the harbour were such a contrast to the ever-evolving skyscraper backdrop, and I loved the enormous gold dragon bridge which apparently lights up and breathes fire at weekends.

If you’re staying here already, you can travel the Hai Van Pass from Da Nang by tour, motorbike or train. Alternatively, you can start in Hue and finish here.

Reaching the Hai Van Pass

As we left the city behind, we started reaching higher elevations. Soon the scenery became a sight to behold, especially around the curving bay where we spied abandoned beaches down below us. Apparently, the only way to reach them is by boat and no one really does!

Lập An Lagoon & the sand dune road

It was fast becoming apparent that the highlight of my day was going to be the sandy white beaches. I’d expected the mountains to be stunning but hadn’t appreciated how extraordinary – and also empty – the coastline would be. We called in at the oyster farm area of  Lập An Lagoon  (click for exact location).

Here people cultivate oysters for food and jewellery. Not only are they high in nutritional value, locals love their flavour and serve them at the heart of various dishes. Combine that with pearl production and they’re regarded as the jewels of heaven. The sand dune road is a spot you can’t miss. A strip of sand runs right into the lagoon like a red (okay, golden) carpet. Surprisingly for such an Instagrammable spot, there weren’t that many people there. We only had to wait five minutes before we had it to ourselves.

Lunch at Cảnh Dương Bay

Most importantly in my Hai Van Pass guide… lunch! If we thought the dreamy sandbar was nice, we were about to be blown away by Cảnh Dương Bay where we stopped for lunch.

I’m always enthusiastic where mealtimes are concerned but this stop was something else. We had a tasty meal that we could pick from a menu, but the highlight was this incredible stretch of abandoned sand and turquoise ocean. We couldn’t resist going for a swim even though we were boiling hot and the shade of the restaurant was so appealing.

Countryside and buffalo-spotting

After lunch, the scenery along the Hai Van Pass started to change. We saw fewer beaches and more green, glorious countryside. Mountain backdrops were peppered with grazing buffalo which came up close to our car, unbothered by us our presence. I felt like I was back in Africa as we admired them from our Jeep! It’s amazing how African buffalo are deadly but Asian ones seem calm and act as valuable aids to the farming industry. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen children as young as five riding them, or workers relaxing on their back as a comfy seat!

Dam Cau Hai (Salt Lake)

We stopped on a bridge alongside Vietnam’s largest salt lake for a few photos. Our guide told us a bit about the region while we admired a small fishing village nestled on the shore. As you can tell, we were loving posing for photos with the Jeep’s roof off!

An Bang Cemetery

For a final stop on our Hoi An to Hue tour via the Hai Van Pass, our guide announced we were going to be visiting a cemetery. I assumed it would be nice because Vietnamese graveyards usually are but I didn’t fathom even a tenth of the colour and detail we were about to see…

Westerners would probably describe Vietnamese graves as temples because they really don’t resemble the plain stone slabs we see at home. An Bang Cemetery – also known as the ‘City of Ghosts’ – is a particularly large example built by wealthy families. From this region, many residents moved overseas to the USA or Europe where they began to earn more money and send it home. The town of An Bang became richer and so did the cemetery. Many of the tombs boast bedrooms and kitchens, honouring the belief that people have the same needs in the afterlife. The first thing that struck me when we arrived was the sheer volume of tombs – they stretched as far as I could see. Our guide told us that you can determine a lot about the life of the deceased from the buildings. The one above features ship-style wheels to communicate that the person buried had been a sailor during their life.

Arriving in Hue

Soon after An Bang we arrived in Hue where we were dropped at our home for the next three days, Hue Ecolodge . I’d highly recommend this beautiful, secluded hotel with luxurious rooms, verandas and a lovely swimming pool. Rooms start at $65 a night.

Best season to drive the Hai Van Pass

April to September is the best time to visit the Hai Van Pass because it’s dry season and there’s little fog blocking the spectacular views. September to March is rainy season so check the weather if you plan to visit. Depending on the day, it may become unsuitable at the last minute.

What to pack

• Enough water
• Handy bum bag with secure zip
• Power bank to keep your devices alive
• Camera to record your memories
• GoPro attached to your helmet if you want to make videos.

Where next?

Depending which direction you’re travelling, your next stop might be…

If you’re taking a Hai Van Pass tour from Hoi An, you’ll finish in Hue. This spectacular city was once the imperial capital of Vietnam, known to this day for its decadent palaces and tombs. It’s a must for travellers looking to experience history and culture.

Plan your trip with my 2 day Hue itinerary

While visiting Hue, take an excursion to Vietnam’s Abandoned Waterpark . This quirky place became dilapidated after it closed… Now it’s a favourite with travellers who sneak in to take photos and admire the roaring dragon!

After two months living in Hoi An, it goes without saying that Hoi An is one of my favourite places in Vietnam! The low-rise yellow buildings couldn’t be more charming, plus there are beautiful beaches and numerous day trips to enjoy.

Haven’t explored this part of Vietnam yet, looks like a lot of fun! Great post, thanks for sharing!

Hi Rose, stumble across your blog through Google. May I know which company you rented the Jeep? It does look so much cooler and fun on it!

Hi Rose, I was reading your article as I’m about to do the pass for the second time, and was pleasantly surprised that you linked to my article about An Bang cemetery! Glad you found it useful and excited to use your tips this time round!

Hello! Glad you found the article and hope you enjoy visiting An Bang. Such a unique place!

• Motorbiking Hoi An to Hue over Hai Van Pass

View of Lang Co Lagoon. All photos by Christian Berg

Hoi An to Hue is one of Southeast Asia’s most spectacular coastal journeys, and the best way to see it is by motorbike. The windy climb over world-famous Hai Van Pass is a definite highlight, but there’s much more to see. Follow this full-day itinerary — about 150km without detours — to discover striking temples, placid lagoons, and ancient ruins, and finish on the beach in Hue. 

Marble mountains, son tra and danang city.

Leave Hoi An as early as you can, and head for the coast, absorbing the calm countryside atmosphere on the way. Pretty soon you’ll reach Lạc Long Quân street. Make a left and follow this long stretch for 15km until you come to five unlikely outcrops rising from the plains.

The five Marble Mountains represent the five elements: earth, fire, wood, metal, and water. The Water Mountain is the one to climb, as it presents spectacular views of Danang, Son Tra Peninsula, and Cham Islands. The ascent burrows inside the mountain, revealing caves, grottoes, and shrines. After descending from Marble Mountains, head back to the main road (Trường Sa.) 

DETOUR: If you have time, you may like to visit the gorgeous Son Tra Pensinsula , a one- to two-hour detour that serves up great views of Danang City en route to a towering all-white statue of Linh Ung (Lady Buddha). 

Continue your drive by heading toward Danang ’s Dragon Bridge . Completed in 2013, the bridge has become a symbol of the city’s economic dynamism. Ride over the bridge, then turn right on Bạch Đằng and follow the riverfront road for a look at Vietnam’s most progressive city. Stop for a coffee by the river, then cruise along Nguyễn Tất Thành for magnificent views of Danang Bay. After you cross the railway lines, you’ll hit a main road: Take a right to Hai Van Pass.

Hai Van Pass and Lang Co 

The Hai Van mountain pass is one of the world’s greatest coastal stretches. These jungle-topped mountains slope down into the sea, shaping uninhabited bays, forging gushing waterfalls, and even influencing the weather. At the top, explore the remains of a Nguyen Dynasty-era lookout post. The whole pass is only 20km — take your time and enjoy the view.

Towards the end of your descent you’ll see Lang Co Town , a great spot for a seafood lunch. At the bottom of the pass make a hard left on Nguyễn Văn street, which skirts around a freshwater lagoon enveloped in green mountains. Pick a restaurant out on the lagoon for a delicious Vietnamese lunch.

DETOUR: If you’re good for time, the Suối Voi Elephant Springs is a gentle waterfall with pretty rock pools for swimming. The springs are 10km from Lang Co, and will add another hour or two to your trip.

Tam Giang Lagoon, An Bang Village, and the beach

After lunch, drive around the lagoon until you meet National Highway 1. Drive west on this road until the Phước Tượng mountain pass, where the road splits between the pass (đèo) and the tunnel (hầm). Take the pass for better views. When you encounter the train tracks, make a right on National Highway 49B and follow the road as it snakes towards Tam Giang Lagoon.

After a few kilometers, you’ll see a baby-blue church and meet Tam Giang Lagoon , one of Southeast Asia’s largest. Drive on with the calm blue waters of the lagoon on your left, small villages on the right, commanding mountains behind, and ocean ahead. This scenic 10km stretch continues until Tu Hien Bridge , where you can stop for a picture-perfect moment, with glorious views back across the lagoon.

Highways 49B will lead you on a narrow strip of land between the lagoon and the ocean. Parts of the road reveal glimpses of seafood farms and pagodas. Stop for a look at the extravagant tombs of An Bang Village . 

DETOUR: If you have time, you may like to locate the a ninth-century Cham tower , which sits 100 metres from the road (the sign is small and easily missed.) Most Cham towers were built on hills, but a seismic shock buried this one underground centuries ago. It was unearthed by miners 2001.

You’re not far from Hue, but before calling it a day, why park your bike along beach near the Cham tower for a refreshing swim? If you feel like a reward, check out Beach Bar Hue 10km up the road. For the last leg of your trip, continue on Highway 49B to the resort town of Thuận An, or follow the road to reach the imperial city of Hue.

The Hai Van Pass: Motorbiking Vietnam’s Most Famous Coastal Road

In Top Gear ‘s 2008 Vietnam Special, the presenters were tasked with riding the entire length of Vietnam by motorbike. Clarkson grumbled his way up much of the country, but was awestruck by one road in particular: the Hai Van Pass. He called it a “deserted ribbon of perfection.” This feature skyrocketed the road to fame and has since inspired thousands of travellers to take to the Hai Van Pass by motorbike themselves.

It’s now the most famous road in the country; a 21km coastal road winding around the mountains of Central Vietnam. Boasting scenic ocean views and exciting hairpin turns, a motorbike tour of the Hai Van Pass sits firmly at the top of many Vietnam bucket lists.

Here’s everything you need to know before tackling this spectacular pass.

What is the Hai Van Pass?

‘Hai Van’ roughly translates to ‘Ocean of Clouds’ in Vietnamese, a phrase that perfectly describes this mountainous coastal road. It reaches 500 metres above sea level, with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other.

The pass links the cities of Hoi An , Da Nang and Hue, making travel between them an absolute delight, as it enables you to avoid busy Highway 1 and instead ride on a quiet mountain road.

The Hai Van Pass itself is only 21km, so some people ride it on a day trip from either Hue, Da Nang or Hoi An. Others choose to do a multi-day tour riding the 165km from Hue to Hoi An (or vice versa) via the Hai Van Pass.

Tip: Please do not drive a motorbike abroad without travel insurance! Get a free quote from World Nomads — I always use them for backpacking trips as they cover lots of sports and adrenaline activities.

Day trip or multi-day motorbike tour?

Are you planning to motorbike the Hai Van Pass as a day trip? Or do you want to take on a multi-day ride?

The Hai Van Pass itself is only 21km long, so it can easily be ridden on a day trip from any of the three main cities around it: Hoi An, Da Nang and Hue.

Alternatively, the Hai Van Pass is a fantastic way to ride between all three cities over the course of 2 – 3 days. The coastline between the three cities is spectacular, so it’s worth spending time exploring the surrounding towns, beaches and attractions, as well as motorbiking the Hai Van Pass itself.

Personally, we chose to ride the Hai Van Pass over 2 days, staying in the lovely Rom Casa Hostel in Da Nang overnight. This felt just right, as it meant we had plenty of time to explore some beaches along the coast, check out the Marble Mountains, and more.

Renting a motorbike for the Hai Van Pass

There are plenty of places in Hoi An, Da Nang and Hue from where you can rent a motorbike. As some people choose to ride from Hoi An to Hue (or vice versa) over 2-3 days, many rental companies also offer luggage transfer and collection of the bike.

There are roadside motorbike rentals and larger motorbike companies from which you can rent your bike. Roadside places will be cheaper but the larger companies are generally more reliable. The choice is yours!

The prices for daily rentals at local shops start at about 3.50 USD and 6 USD at the bigger companies. Luggage transfer is about 40,000 VND (1.70 USD) per day. All in all, it’s excellent value for money.

I used Hoi An Bike Rental and had a great experience with them.

Alternative options for touring the Hai Van Pass

Want to ride the Hai Van Pass but are not keen on driving a motorbike yourself? Here are a couple of alternative options for you.

Easy Riders

If you haven’t driven a motorbike before — or simply don’t feel confident — but want the motorbike experience, you could hire an Easy Rider . Easy Riders will drive the route for you while you relax on the back! I’ve heard good things about Easy Riders — they have experienced guides who will make you feel comfortable on the back of the bike and will take you to all the best stops along the way.

This is a good option if you have no experience driving a motorbike. The Hai Van Pass has tight bends and steep inclines so is probably not a good choice for your first time.

Hai Van Pass Jeep tours

If motorbikes aren’t your style, why not join a Hai Van Pass jeep tour? Here are some Jeep tour options to check out:

• Hue Adventures
• Get Up & Go
• Easy Rider Hoi An
• Hue to Hoi An Jeep Tour on Viator

Hai Van Pass route and map

Whether you plan to motorbike the Hai Van Pass on a day trip, or take on a multi-day tour of the surrounding coastline and cities, the map below details the best route to take.

The total distance to ride Hoi An > Danang > Hue (or vice versa) along the coastal roads is 165km .

The map below shows the route from Hoi An to Hue, with places of interest, scenic viewpoints, beaches and recommended food stops pinned as well. Click here to view the map in a larger window.

Things to see and Hai Van Pass Stops

The below attractions can all be found on the route from Hoi An to Hue, via the Hai Van Pass.

Being a coastal road, there are obviously plenty of beaches to explore during your Hai Van Pass road trip. An Bang, Non Nuoc and Lang Co are just three of the beautiful beaches you’ll pass on the route from Hoi An to Hue. It’s up to you how many you stop at to enjoy — I personally found it hard to resist the beachside shacks selling coconuts or fruit smoothies!

Hoi An Old Town

If your starting point is Hoi An, you may have already had time to explore the Old Town. But if not, you simply must take a stroll through quaint Hoi An to admire the pretty lanterns, waterways and markets.

Marble Mountains

The Marble Mountains are a cluster of 5 mountains just outside of Da Nang. The 5 mountains supposedly represent the 5 elements of water, fire, earth, wood and metal, and feature tons of caves, pagodas and monuments. It’s worth setting aside an hour or so to explore everything there is to see here.

Dragon Bridge

The route I’ve laid out on my map will take you straight over the famous Dragon Bridge, which enables you to cross the River Hàn. It looks cool during the day, but if you’re stopping in Da Nang overnight, be sure to come back when it’s dark to see it lit up. It’s a sight not to be missed!

The fishing boat temple

Not long after you’ve crossed Dragon Bridge, you should spot the Co Bac Temple, also known as the Thanh An-Thanh Thuy fishing villages’ temple, right on the beach. It’s a unique temple (being in the shape of a fishing boat) and is a shrine to the unlucky fishermen who died or went missing at sea.

The Hai Van Pass itself

Need I say more? Just look at those views.

Hai Van Gate

Unexpectedly, as we approached the end of the pass, we came upon an old war bunker. It was covered in bullet holes and was really interesting to explore. People were having wedding photos taken here — apparently, this place is really popular for that.

If you do only one thing in Vietnam, make it a motorbike tour of the Hai Van Pass.

I did this route today with a group of friends – it was lovely! We particularly enjoyed driving through some beautiful rice fields and small villages. Thank you for sharing!

Glad you had a great time!

Love this and definitely will try to do the same when traveling there in s couple of months! How many days did you spend? Any recommendations for where to stop overnight?

Hi Monika, apologies for the delay in coming back to you, I must have missed this comment! I rode the pass over two days, stopping in Da Nang overnight. There are lots of nice places to stay in Da Nang — I stayed in the Rom Casa Hostel.

The Hai Van pass simply overshadows the other destinations. It seems like you had geared bikes, they are much better when travelling long distances and mountainous roads.

It really does – easily the highlight of my time in Vietnam. And yes we hired a geared bike as we thought the uphills would be a struggle on a scooter!

Yes, makes sense.

Amazing tip! Such an unique way of exploring a new country!

Yes it was amazing!

This place remind a bit of Isla Mujeres in Mexico! Is not many places like that, where is no cars!

Ooh I’ve heard good things about Isla Mujeres! It’s lovely when there’s no cars about. Gili Trawangan in Indonesia has also banned cars, and people get around by horse and carriage!

I have a soft spot for all kinds of road trips and this does look like a great route. Great shots!

Oh indeed, I would love to get there on a bike. I like the coloful market area Hoi An and the mountain views. Want to get there with my camera.

You should – it’s stunning! Would love to see what you could do with your camera on those mountain views 🙂

Are motorbikes the same as scooters? Because I had a scooter before and I was not very comfortable going long distances with one so we didn’t keep it. But if cars are not allowed on this road, I guess we will just do the Easy Rider.

Hi Carolina! Motorbikes generally have gears and a clutch, whereas scooters just have an accelerator. Scooters are usually regarded as easier to drive but aren’t as good for long distances, so for this journey we thought a motorbike would be a much better choice. You could do it on a scooter, but the uphills might be a bit of a struggle! And the comfort is much nicer on a motorbike. The Easy Riders use motorbikes and are apparently really skilled riders so you should feel safe with them!

Nice post. Good to know that cars aren’t allowed on this road.

Thanks! And yes its great that there are no cars 🙂

From Hue to Hoi An: a terrific journey via the Hai Van Pass

Last Updated on 17/08/2023 by Clotilde Passalacqua

If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, you won’t want to miss out on the Hai Van Pass. This scenic route is a must-see for any traveler looking to experience the natural beauty of the country. Located in central Vietnam, the Hai Van Pass connects the cities of Hue and Danang (and Hoi An after), offering breathtaking views of the coastline and surrounding mountains.

You can easily integrate the Hai Van pass visit during a transfer from Hue to Hoi An, which would probably be in your Vietnam itinerary . The route stretches for over 20 kilometres, winding its way through lush green forests. Along the way, you’ll encounter steep inclines and hairpin turns, making for an exciting and unforgettable journey.

There are several transportation options available and it can be confusing to decide which one is right for you, so in this post we will check them all to help you to decide.

HAI VAN PASS ROUTE

Understanding the route is essential when planning your trip from Hue to Hoi An (or Hoi An to Hue via Hai Van Pass). The distance between the two cities is approximately 140 kilometres, and the journey takes around three to four hours. However, you could easily take 6 to 8 hours, as along the way you will also have the opportunity to explore historic landmarks, charming fishing villages, and pristine beaches.

Traveling by private car is a convenient and comfortable option for those who prefer a hassle-free journey. You can hire a private car with a driver for the day, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the stunning scenery.

Alternatively, you can also travel by bus, train, motorbike, or join a tour, depending on your budget and preferences. Each mode of transportation has its advantages and disadvantages, so it’s essential to weigh your options.

We travelled via a private car, the journey went smoothly and we could decide how long we wanted to spend at each stop, but it is also the most expensive option. It works really well for a family or a group of 3-4 friends sharing the cost. We were exploring Vietnam with our twins 7 years old and the journey was really engaging also for them.

HAI VAN PASS MAP AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFO

The pass is situated in the Annamite Range and runs along the border between Thua Thien-Hue Province and Da Nang City. At its highest point, the pass reaches an elevation of 496 meters (1,627 feet) above sea level.

The road itself is a winding, narrow path that stretches for over 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) through the mountains. One of the most unique features of the Hai Van Pass is its climate.

Due to its location, the pass experiences a stark contrast in weather between the two sides. The north side is often shrouded in mist and fog, while the south side is sunny and warm. This has earned the pass the nickname “Hai Van Quan” which translates to “Cloudy Mountain Pass.”

The pass is shrouded in mist and clouds for a large part of the year, giving it a mystical and enchanting quality. It is also not rare that, while it is sunny at sea level when you start your journey, it is raining by the time you reach the Hai Van Pass.

This happened to us. It doesn’t diminish the beauty of the scenery, but it will maybe make your pictures a little hazy. Historically this iconic mountain pass has been an important transportation route for centuries.

HAI VAN PASS HISTORY

The Hai Van Pass was first used by the Champa people, who were an ancient civilization that inhabited the central coast of Vietnam. They used the pass to transport goods between the north and south of the country.

It has also been a strategic military location since the 14th century, with various dynasties and rulers using it as a lookout point to protect their Kingdoms. Later, the Vietnamese also began to use the pass for trade and transportation.

Despite its natural beauty and strategic location, the pass has a dark history. During the Vietnam War, it was heavily bombed by both sides due to its importance as a connection route.

In recent years, the Vietnamese government has invested in improving the infrastructure of the pass, including the construction of a new tunnel that has made the journey safer and more convenient for travelers.

An important point to highlight is if you take the public bus you will not go up to the scenic pass, but rather the bus will use the new tunnel.

THE ROAD FROM HUE TO HOI AN VIA THE HAI VAN PASS

Starting from Hue, you’ll drive along Highway 1A, which is a busy road with lots of traffic. However, once you reach the foot of the Hai Van Pass, the road becomes less crowded, and you’ll have a chance to enjoy the stunning scenery.

The road is well-maintained, and there are plenty of lookout points along the way. As you drive up the pass, you’ll see the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. The view is truly breathtaking, and you’ll want to stop at every lookout point to take pictures.

After you’ve crossed the pass, you’ll descend toward Da Nang, which is a bustling city with lots of attractions. The road from Da Nang to Hoi An is also scenic, with views of the ocean and the mountains. Once you reach Hoi An, you’ll be rewarded with a charming town that’s full of history and culture.

Best Hai Van stops along the way

Along the way from Hue to Hoi An there are several interesting places that are worth a visit. If you are joining a tour you will for sure stop at a couple of them. If you drive a motorbike or hire a car with a driver you will be able to pick and choose what you are most interested to see.

Lap An Lagoon

Lap An Lagoon, is a mesmerizing spectacle of nature’s splendor. The panoramic vista of blue skies, fluffy white clouds, and serene water ripples framed by lush green mountains, make it a worthy stop, especially for the pictures you get. Apart from its natural allure, Lap An Lagoon is renowned for its local grilled oyster dishes. You will have time for pictures and a coffee.

• Free to visit

Marble Mountains

The Marble Mountains are a cluster of five marble and limestone hills located south of Da Nang city in Vietnam. They are adorned with a complex network of caves, tunnels, and Buddhist sanctuaries, offering a unique exploration experience. The summit of the mountains offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes, including the South China Sea.

• The entrance fee is 40000 VDN (~£1.30 / $1.7 / €1.5), and the elevator is 15000 VND ( ~£ 0.50 / $0.65 / €0.6) per person. Kids under 6 enter free.

Elephant Springs

Elephant Springs provides a refreshing escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. This hidden gem is named after the massive rock that resembles an elephant, standing guard over a series of natural pools and waterfalls. The cool, crystal-clear water cascades down into numerous pools perfect for swimming or relaxing. The surrounding jungle-like scenery adds a sense of tranquillity and seclusion, making it an ideal spot for picnics and family outings.

• Entrance fee 15000 VND ( ~£ 0.50 / $0.65 / €0.6)

Hoa Phu Thanh Waterfall.

This is an adventure tourism site that is about 30 kilometres from Danang City. It offers an exciting blend of natural beauty and adrenaline-pumping activities. The waterfall cascades through a lush forest, creating a stunning backdrop for activities like waterfall sliding, ziplining, and river trekking. The site also features ethnic minority cultural shows, offering a unique insight into Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage.

• Entrance fee 100000 VND ( ~£ 3.3 / $4.2 / €3.8) . This fee only covers the entrance then you will need to pay for the single activities like zipline or rafting.

Ba Na Hill-Golden Bridge

Finally, you could consider a stop to visit Ba Na Hill, famously known for its Golden Bridge. This impressive structure has gained global fame for its elegant design; two giant stone hands appear to be lifting a golden pedestrian walkway into the sky.

The Ba Na Hill resort area itself is a French-style village featuring quaint gardens, restaurants, and hotels with panoramic views of the surrounding hillsides. Riding the cable car up to the Golden Bridge, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the lush landscape.

We did not choose to do this, but if you are interested check out some reviews to see If it is your cup of tea. If you decide to stop at Ban Hill, you will probably only have time for this stop along the way from Hue to Hoi An, and you will need to get something to eat while you are there.

• Entrance fee (including cable car): 850000 VND (~£28 / $36 / €32) per adult, 890000 VND (~£23 / $30/ €27) per child under 1.40cm.

My Son Sanctuary

My Son Sanctuary is a remarkable historical and cultural landmark located near the picturesque city of Hoi An in Vietnam. It is an exceptional example of the ancient Champa civilization, which was influenced by Hinduism from India. The sanctuary was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999, and its ruins stand as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the region.

Covering a vast area, the sanctuary is nestled amidst lush green mountains, offering a serene and tranquil environment. It comprises the remains of several towers and temples.

The sanctuary’s buildings are divided into ten groups, each corresponding to a different historical period. The site continues to be an important archaeological area where ongoing efforts are being made to restore and preserve the remaining structures.

Its historical significance, architectural grandeur, and enchanting natural environment make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, or simply looking for a unique travel experience. If you are not planning at least three days in Hoi An it could be a good idea to stop for a visit during your Hue to Hoi An transfer. This site requires a little longer than others (like Ban Hill) so you probably will only be able to do another brief stop during the transfer.

• The entrance fee is 150000 VND ( ~£ 5 / $6.5 / €6) per adult, and 30000 VDN ( ~£1 / $1.3 / €1.1) per child.

DIFFERENT MEANS OF TRANSPORT TO VISIT THE HAI VAN PASS

Hai van pass from hue to hoi an with a private driver.

You could just get a taxi from Hue to Hoi An via the Hai Van pass, but you need to remember that in this way you will have little opportunity to stop. The driver will probably stop at the main look-out point and that’s it. This option s faster and cheaper, but for a small price difference, I would recommend you book a car with a driver for the day. That will allow you to add at least another couple of stops on the way.

Typically, on the way from Hue to Hoi Ann you would choose to stop at different attractions. We stopped at the Lap An Lagoon before going up to the Hai Van pass. Then our driver brought us for lunch in an amazing little restaurant where we had some delicious homemade food, before stopping at the Marble Mountains which were much more interesting than expected.

We used VM Travel and they sent us a really lovely driver who spoke great English and also acted a little as a guide, giving us useful and interesting insights (remember that most of the drivers do not speak English, and sometimes if you need to change the itinerary it may be easier to contact the person you booked with and they will call them).

There are other options you could consider for your stops, and with the private transfer you can customize your trip.

Hai Van Pass from Hue to Hoi An by train

If you decide to take the train you will still have the opportunity to admire a captivating snapshot of Vietnam’s diverse scenery – from lush green rice paddies and towering limestone mountains to picturesque fishing villages and azure waters of the South China Sea.

The train journey from Hue to Hoi An typically takes about two hours and a half, traversing through the verdant countryside, along the coast, and past the imposing Hai Van Pass.

The train doesn’t ascend as much as the road, but it still offers beautiful views. The journey is not too fast as the track has some sharp bends that limit its speed, but that guarantees you a longer time to appreciate the views.

You should be able to get tickets at the station on the same day, but if you want peace of mind you can buy them here .

Hai Van Pass from Hue to Hoi An with the bus

Opting to travel by bus is an economical choice and it can be quite convenient as there are buses departing from 6 am to 8 pm every 10-20 minutes from different parts of the city.

However, it does come with some drawbacks. The most obvious disadvantage is that buses traveling this route typically use the Hai Van Tunnel, a modern tunnel opened to traffic in 2005 to provide a faster and safer route across the pass. While this tunnel has certainly improved transportation in the region, it takes away from the breathtaking views that one could experience by traversing the pass itself. This tunnel bypasses the spectacular scenery, leaving passengers on the bus deprived of the chance to fully absorb the beauty of the Hai Van Pass.

The opportunity to stop at vantage points along the pass to take photographs or simply enjoy the view is also lost when traveling by bus through the tunnel. Additionally, while it may be faster and safer, travelling through the tunnel doesn’t provide the same sense of adventure and exploration that one expects when embarking on a journey through such an iconic route.

While traveling from Hue to Hoi An by public bus through the Hai Van Tunnel can be a practical and super cheap option, I would only consider it if you are constrained in time or budget.

Hai Van Pass from Hue to Hoi An self-driving motorbike or scooter

While most tourists can’t hire a car in Vietnam, you will not have any problem renting a scooter or a motorbike. It’s an exhilarating experience to traverse this route on a motorbike, with the freedom to explore at your own pace.

One of the significant advantages of self-driving is the opportunity to stop at will to soak in the beauty of the landscapes and capture memorable snapshots. This is not typically possible with a guided tour or public transportation.

Additionally, riding a motorbike through the Hai Van Pass provides a sense of adventure and independence that is unparalleled. The journey allows for an intimate interaction with nature and culture that other forms of travel may not offer.

However, self-driving in this region also has its share of challenges and its disadvantages. The journey demands constant alertness and concentration. Furthermore, road conditions can be unpredictable due to weather changes and traffic. Local drivers often have a different understanding of road etiquette, which can lead to confusing situations for those not accustomed to it.

Riding a motorbike through the Hai Van Pass is not just about reaching the destination, it’s about the thrill of the ride, the wind in your hair, and the exhilarating sense of freedom, but really consider if this is the best option for you.

I rode a scooter in Rome and London for almost 20 years, but, even if we were not travelling with kids I’m not sure I would have considered venturing on this journey. Joining a guided motorbike tour could partially ease the challenges as you follow a local guide who will navigate you through the route.

Hai Van Pass tours

The tours are all structured in a similar way. You can choose based on the places you would like to visit the most. They usually don’t include a guide coming with you to the different sightseeing points.

In this article, I mainly talk about the route from Hue to Hoi An, but it is just as easy to visit the Hai Van pass from Hoi An . Below are three great options.

BEST HAI VAN PASS TOUR WITH PRIVATE CAR

This is the company we used to transfer from Hue to Hoi An. They were professional and our driver spoke great English, which is less common.

You will stop at the Lap An Lagoon, the Hai Van pass, for lunch near the beach, and at the Marble mountains.

Great value for money.

GOOD TO KNOW: these tours are fully refundable up to 24h before they start

BEST HAI VAN PASS MOTORBIKE TOUR

This is the perfect tour if you want to drive a scooter or motorbike but you want a safety net. You can ride the bike yourself or sit behind the local driver.

This tour also includes a stop at the elephant waterfall where you can have a refreshing splash before continuing.

BEST HAI VAN PASS TOUR TO INCLUDE BAN HILL OR MY SON

If you are interested in visiting the Golden Bridge, stopping there while transferring from Hue to Hoi An could be a great option. Consider that the cable car ticket is not included (and it isn’t cheap). Check here for the price.

If instead you don’t have much time you could check out this tour that includes a stop at the My Son Sanctuary (around 45-60 minutes from Hoi An)
