Private Car to Ba Na Hills from Hoi An — Golden Bridge Day Trip
Skip the logistics and let a chauffeur-driven car take you from Hoi An into the cool heights of Ba Na Hills. Expect early-morning climbs, dramatic views from the Golden Bridge, and flexibility to shape your day around crowds and weather.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book early pickup
Start before 8:00 AM to avoid mid-day crowds at the Golden Bridge and secure better light for photos.
Choose the right vehicle size
Select a larger vehicle if you have luggage or a group—carriers limit luggage per passenger and may charge for extras.
Bring layers and a rain shell
Temperatures can drop and showers are common at elevation; a lightweight jacket and waterproof layer keep you comfortable.
Carry small change
ATMs are limited on the mountain; bring local cash for snacks, souvenirs, and cable car add-ons.
