It takes visitors around 1 hour to be in Ba Na Hills. Before getting on the bus, we recommend visiting nearby famous places such as Ho Chi Minh & Zone 5 Military Museum, Museum of Cham Sculpture or Dragon Bridge.
In Ba Na Hills, the bus will drop off visitors at the parking lot by the main entrance of the park. From here, just a short walk is needed to go to ticket offices (see more details).

Should I Take Ba Na Hills Shuttle Bus?
Here are reasons why you should take free shuttle bus to Ba Na Hills:
– It’s a free of charge transport. Those who want to optimize their traveling budget, especially solo travelers, should use it to save the money.
– This Ba Na Hills shuttle bus picks up at Da Nang city downtown, so it’s very convenient to get there. Around this point, visitors can find lots of accommodation options.
– The bus itself is spacious, clean, modern, air-conditioned and comfortable. The driver carefully rides it.
Here are reasons why you should NOT take free shuttle bus to Ba Na Hills:
– Pick up times are only in the afternoon (after 2 pm). Meaning that the bus will come to Ba Na Hills at 3 pm onwards. In this period of the day, especially the rainy season, the weather is often rainy or cloudy/foggy. For that reason, outdoor activities and attractions may be closed.
– Schedule of Ba Na Hills free shuttle bus is fixed. So, it’s the not the best choice if visitors want to have the best experience at the park. If have a private car, it’s possible to request a pick up time and then arrive when the park is without crowds, rain, or any other uncomfortable situations.
– Have to pay for transport to the pick up point. After coming back to Da Nang, pay again for transport back to the hotel. Comparing to booking a private car which picks up anywhere in the city center, the price is not really cheaper.
– If stay in hotels far from Da Nang city center, this shuttle bus is not a good choice.
– Visitors who prefer to staying in Hoi An, can not use the free shuttle bus to Ba Na Hills because it’s from Da Nang.
