How long does it take to travel from Da Nang to Hoi An?

The distance from Da Nang to Hoi An is about 30 kilometers. Travel time depends on the chosen transport and usually takes from 30 to 50 minutes.

Here is how long the journey will take by different means:

• By taxi or car: 30-45 minutes on a straight and good highway. This is the fastest and most comfortable option. The cost of a taxi ride (e.g., via Grab) will be approximately 250,000 – 350,000 dong one way.
• By rented motorbike: 40-50 minutes. Provides complete freedom of movement, you can stop along the way at the Marble Mountains. Be careful on the highway, traffic is heavy.
• By local bus: about 1 hour. You need to take the green bus LK-02 at the stop near Han Market or near the dragon bridge. This is the cheapest way (from 30,000 dong), but less convenient as the bus makes many stops.
• With an excursion: Travel time will be the same, but often excursions include stops at the Marble Mountains or other places, so the total travel time increases.

Important: Hoi An is not just a point on the map, but a full-fledged resort. We strongly recommend allocating at least half a day including the evening for its visit, when the city is illuminated by thousands of lanterns and becomes truly magical. Many tourists prefer to stay there for 1-2 nights.
