Taxis are the most convenient and also considered the easiest way to get to Hoi An from Da Nang since from the city center (or the airport) you can just catch a taxi and get in without making any prior arrangement. It will take you around 30 – 45 minutes and will cost around 350,000 - 450,000VND/1 round or 450,000 - 550,000VND/2 rounds. You should choose a well-known taxi brand:

2. Bus

To encourage tourists to visit Da Nang, the government launched a direct bus line between Da Nang and Hoi An – DanaBus 01 – for just 18,000-30,000 VND (~1 USD). Although the bus is the cheapest travel option, it will take a bit longer, 45 to 60 minutes to get to Hoi An.

If you are arriving from the airport this option will be less convenient because the nearest bus stop is around three kilometers away. But if you are taking the train, there is a bus station close to the Railway Station. It’s at 162 Ong Ich Khiem, only a 10-minute walk from the station.

3. Motorbike

Traveling by motorbike is the most exciting option of all. Most locals travel in between Da Nang and Hoi An because it is the most popular form of transportation in Vietnam, and it allows for flexibility to visit destinations along the way.


There are two common types of motorbikes: manual and automatic transmission. Automatic bikes are the first choice for most travelers because they are easier to handle, especially in light of the slew of new traffic laws you must obey. Just turn the throttle and it will run. However, if you also plan to visit other nice spots in the area including Son Tra peninsula or challenge yourself to Hai Van pass, then the manual bike will be more suitable since you can manually control the torque (force) which is essential to going uphill.

Rental fee is about 100,000 – 150,000VND/vehicle/day.

At the NAVIS Hotel& Apartment, rental fee is 100,000VND/manual bike/24 hour; 120,000VND/automatic bike/ 24 hour.

4. Private Car

If you have already booked your stay in Hoi An, ask your accommodation if they can arrange a private pickup car for you. Provide them your pickup address, this can be the airport or your hotel in Da Nang, and a car will be sent at the specified time. Charges vary but this is the least stress-inducing option.

Or if you stayed in Da Nang, you can book a private car, the price is around 13-17$.

5. Grab

Grab (Southeast Asia’s answer to Uber) is a popular transport app that can be used to book taxis, rideshare cars and motorbikes in Vietnam. Grab works in Danang, so it is possible to book a ride to Hoi An Ancient Town through the app.

To use Grab, you’ll either need to pick up a Vietnamese sim card or download the app before you leave home and register with your usual phone number. There is free WIFI at Danang Airport, so you can get online to book a ride when you land.

Expect to pay slightly less than a regular taxi for a Grab taxi.
