Buses from Dalat to Nha Trang are inexpensive, convenient, sleeping buses run along the route. However, there are no night buses. There are two bus options:

• Minivans and Limousines

  From Dalat, you can buy minivan tickets at street travel agencies in the tourist area (center and tourist area on the map) or at the hotel. They are sent from their offices in the center or picked up from a travel agency or hotel. It is not necessary to buy them in advance or online, but it is advisable at least on the previous day to be picked up from the hotel in the morning. In Nha Trang, they arrive at their offices in the tourist area or take them to hotels.

  There are ordinary minivans and so-called "limousines". For understanding, an ordinary minivan, this one is like our Gazelle minibuses with lots of seats. A Limousine is a lot of space and reclining seats almost to a reclining position, there is even a multimedia system and massage chairs. If finances allow, it is better to buy tickets for a limousine. Here's what it looks like:

  

• Big buses

  Another option is large sleeping buses. A large bus company Futa Bus carries this route, we make almost all trips to the south with them, but there are other companies. All large buses depart from Dalat from the main bus station (Dalat bus station on the map). You can get to it from the center by taxi for 30,000 or even walk from some hotels. But if you buy a ticket at least a day in advance, then the ticket price includes a transfer from the hotel or from the office in the center to the bus station, you just need to request this service when buying a ticket, I don't offer it by default.

  

  In Nha Trang, large buses come to the new bus station, which is very far from the center and city buses do not go to it. But Futa Bus again offers a transfer to the center in the ticket price, you only need to request this when buying.

  Important! Previously, the main bus station in Nha Trang was located near the city center, but now it has been moved to a new location far out of town (Nha Trang South Bus Station on the map), all old bus stations are closed. Now you can't get from/to the new bus station by city buses, only by taxi from 160,000 DONG auto taxi (6.08 USD) or 52,000 motorcycle taxi (1.98 USD). Therefore, it is better to buy tickets with a transfer or immediately to the tourist area.

  You can buy tickets for large buses and Futa Bus at the ticket offices of the Dalat Bus station, and there is also an office in the center of Dalat at 12 Lê Quý Đôn, PhườNg 5, here it is on the map. It is very convenient to buy in the office, the prices are the same as at the bus station. It is also possible to purchase tickets online at Futa, 12go.asia and others.
