The distance between Hue and Hoi An is about 126 km, so it will take more than 2 hours to transfer between Hue and Hoi An by jeep. However, this is a private jeep tour from Hue to Hoi An, so we will take more time to explore the attractions as below:

Pha Tam Giang – Cau Hai Lagoon

The biggest lagoon in Southeast Asia – Pha Tam Giang- Cau Hai Lagoon , will be our first stop on the Hue to Hoi An by jeep. Nevertheless, we just stop at Truong Ha Bridge to admire this lagoon.

This lagoon system stretches from northwest to southeast. It is 68 km long, with a 216 km2 total water surface area, and contains 3 lagoons: the Tam Giang, Thuy Tu, and Cau Hai lagoons.

Also, this lagoon ranges in depth from 2 to 4 meters, with some areas reaching a depth of 7 meters. The lagoon is exploited yearly for thousands of tons of seafood, fish, and shrimp.

The City Of Ghosts Hue: An Bang Cemetery

The City of Ghosts –  An Bang Cemetery Hue is the next stop on our jeep tour from Hue to Hoi An. It is where those who passed away are interred in the most unique billion-dollar tombs.

Therefore, the Daily Mail (UK) calls it “the weirdest, multi-colored, and lavish cemetery”. Their forefathers’ tombs were constructed using a variety of architectural styles, including Buddhist, Gothic, Christian, and Hindu. This combination resulted in An Bang Cemetery’s most different and unique feature—a paradise of the dead.

Lang Co Beach Hue

It also marked the boundary between Danang, Vietnam’s most livable city with beautiful vistas, and Hue, the region of World Heritage Sites. Of course, we’ll stop here to get some memorable panorama photos.

Marble Mountain Da Nang

Last but not least, we’ll continue our exploration of the  Marble Mountains  with our private Hue to Hoi An jeep tour. Moreover, we will first explore the Non-Nuoc marble carving village at the bottom of Da Nang Marble Mountain.

Our first stop is Marble Mountains – 5 marble peaks that represent five Oriental philosophy. They are Nuoc (Water), Moc (Wood), Fire (Hoa), Metal (Kim), Earth (Tho). This place is attracting lots of visitors everyday.

Hue To Hoi An Jeep Tour Via Hai Van Pass

8:00 AM: In the morning, you will be picked up by our jeep and tour guide at your Hue hotel before we begin the journey from Hue to Hoi An by Jeep via Hai Van Pass . On the way to Hoi An, we’ll stop at a few places to admire nature’s works of art.

• Thanh Toan Village ( for photos ):  was constructed during the middle of the 18 th  century by Emperor Le Hien Tong.  The money for the bridge came from Tran Thi Dao, who was the wealthy wife of one of the Emperor’s courtiers.  The bridge was built over a canal that connected what was originally two sides of the village.

• Nhi Ho WaterFall ( for swimming – approx. 60 mins ) – consists of a variety of naturally occurring pools with calm, clear water that are dotted with enormous stones. There are little wooden huts scattered around the river where you can pay to sit and keep your belongings, and many of the huts also serve meals. But unlike many other popular tourist destinations, it retains the feeling of being undiscovered. On hot summer days, it’s a great place to cool off! The clear natural pools in the spring will treat you to a really reviving dip.

• Lap An lagoon ( for lunch – approx. 60 mins ) – one of Hue’s most stunning lagoons with brackish water. When you visit Lap An Lagoon, you may take in the gorgeous image of white clouds floating over tall mountain ranges against an unusual background of bright blue sky.

• Hai Van Pass ( approx. 30 mins ) – one of the world’s most picturesque coastal passes. The border between the province of Thua Thien Hue and the city of Da Nang is marked by the Hai Van Pass, which runs along the mountain of Hai Van at 500 meters above sea level. Those who are keen about traveling on difficult roads are always fascinated by Hai Van Pass.

• Marble Mountains ( approx. 60 mins ) – a group of five mountains made of marble and limestone stands in for the five primary components that created the universe (Water, Wood, Fire, Metal and Earth). Put yourself to the test and climb more than 120 stairs to obtain the Mable of Water (Thuy Son). Fantastic and beautiful fairylands appear before your eyes from here. Furthermore, there are numerous peaks, tunnels, caves, and temples to explore, and because troops used them as cover throughout the conflict, they are rich in wartime secrets.

Who is offer this tour?

Travelled via US jeep from Hoi An to Hue. The trip was amazing. Went via Hai Van pass. Stopped at elephant springs for a swim & a great local roadside place for lunch. Highly recommend Huy & his drivers. It was a highlight of my trip.

What an experience. Huy Jeep Tours are a very professional family company and their tours in the USA Jeeps are an experience. The freedom of traveling thru the hectic traffic of Vietnam is so good. We have been to Vietnam several times and it is great to have a new way to sight see the local area. Huyhas amazing day tours from Hoi An to DMZ to BBQ on the beach and also trips to the Heritage listed Phong Nha Caves. So much to see around Central Vietnam and I would recommend Hue Jeep as an unique way to do it all.

Driver picked us up in his genuine Jeep from our hotel in Hue and took us to Hoi An in one day via to Hai Van Pass, Elephant Waterfalls, Marble Mountain, a lagoon, a fishing village and R&R beach. We particularly enjoyed swimming in the waterfalls where Cong took pictures and threw us beers! His choice of restaurant at the lagoon for lunch was inspired too – the crispy spring rolls were the best we’ve ever had. Perhaps more information could have been given about each place but that is only a small issue. Also the fishing village and R&R beach could be cut out to make more time for the waterfalls and lagoon. Overall we enjoyed this trip very much – the views over the pass were as good as we’d hoped, Cong was very professional and it was a memorable day!

I dealt with Kim from the Hue to Hoi An and she was amazing! Really quick response on WhatsApp which made our lives much easier when travelling! She organised a lot of our airport pick ups and a  jeep  tour from hue to Hoi An. Thanks Kim!

A Complete Guide To The Hai Van Pass: Route, Rental & Motorbike Tours

• November 16, 2018
• Blake Owers

In a 2008 episode of Top Gear , host Jeremy Clarkson described the Hai Van Pass motorbike tour “a deserted ribbon of perfection”. We couldn’t agree more as a ride through the Hai Van Pass is simply a must. It is one of the most quintessential roads in Vietnam, weaving through breathtaking mountains overlooking a stunning coastline.  

Located half an hour outside of Da Nang and an hour and a quarter from Hoi An, we think driving the 21 kilometres long Hai Van Pass is essential, whether you are spending time in Hoi An, Da Nang , or Hue .

Hidden’s put together information on Hai Van Pass motorbike tour and hires.  Along with the history of the pass, and a guide to the best places to stop along the way.

What is The Hai Van Pass?

The Hai Van Pass and the spur of the Truong Son (Annamite) mountain range, which it traverses, has played a large part in the history of Vietnam. The road itself is 21 kilometres long with inclines of up to 11 degrees at some points.  It reaches a peak of 496 metres.

The beauty of the landscape on show while driving over the pass cannot be understated. The road snakes its way up through the steep hills, surrounded by lush tropical jungle. It’s adorned with views out over the ocean and white sand beaches. From the southern side, the whole curve of Da Nang is visible. Then from the north sparkling Lang Co Beach is stunning.

Geographically, the range of mountains split Vietnam into its southern and northern climates. The range protects Da Nang from the formidable “Chinese Winds”. They blow in from the northwest and can make for significant differences in climate. During the winter months (November-March) the northern side can be very cold and wet.  However, on the southern side, it remains warm and dry. Check out our full article here on the weather in this area to help plan your trip.

The History of the Hai Van Pass

The mountains also made for a significant geopolitical boundary, separating the Champa and Dai Viet Kingdoms for centuries. The steep, unforgiving mountains were a tough obstacle to overcome in any conquest. The Hai Van Pass was also a crucial land link between the cities of Hue and Da Nang during the American War. The top of the pass has had fortifications to stop unauthorised passage since the Dai Viet Kingdom.

Emperor Minh Mang’s Brick Gate

Emperor Minh Mang built the imposing brick gate next to the road in the 19th Century. On one side of the gate, “The most grandiose gateway in the world” is inscribed. Surrounding the gateway are battle-scarred bunkers which were initially built by the French during the First Indochina War (called the French war by Vietnamese) and later used by American forces during the American War. Keep an eye out for the bullet holes on some of the bunkers. Now, the bunkers are empty, and all that the pass separates is the provinces of Quang Nam and Thua Thien–Hue.

Before the construction of the six-kilometre-long Hai Van tunnel in 2005, the Hai Van Pass was a major bottleneck for traffic going from Hanoi to Saigon . The pass used to be infamous for its high death toll, but now with far less traffic, the road is much safer, if no less steep. Now, the Hai Van Pass is used mainly by tour buses, motorbike, and oil tankers which aren’t allowed in the tunnel. The country’s main train line also goes around and through the mountain range but at a lower elevation than the road. The views from the train are equally good so make sure that you are awake when you pass through.

Best Time To Visit The Hai Van Pass

The best time to ride the pass is later in the dry season towards September. By this point, the sun is still shining, but the heat is not so overwhelming as it can be earlier in the season. That being said, the pass is a great ride any time of the year, but extra caution needs to be taken when it’s wet. Because of the nature of the pass, sometimes the top can become shrouded in mist, blocking the views. However, it usually only covers the very top section, and there are still great views to be had on either side. Plus the mist gives it a great atmosphere, and with the lush jungle, it can feel like you’re riding into Jurassic Park.

When riding the Hai Van Pass, make sure that you have the essentials with you: Sunscreen, long-sleeved tops, and long pants are useful for minimising that bikers tan line. During the cooler months, a warmer and waterproof layer is also recommended because it can get quite cold on the top of the pass. It’s a good idea to have some water with you but not as essential as you can’t ride for long without seeing somewhere that sells it.

Riding Solo ‒ What You Need to Know

One of the most popular ways to see the Hai Van Pass is to rent a motorbike and take a tour of it, even going all the way to Hue. The freedom to stop where you want and make detours to wherever you like are the main reasons to ride the Hai Van Pass yourself. We recommend that you have motorbike riding experience before attempting the pass, mainly if you will be riding with a passenger as some of the corners are very tight.

From Hoi An it takes about an hour and a half tour to get to the start of the Hai Van Pass and to get from one side of the pass to the other only takes about 45 minutes on a good motorbike. We recommend you take your time and allow at least an hour and a half for stops and photos.

Renting a Motorbike

There are many places in Hoi An where you can hire motorbikes. What company you choose to go with will depend on how far you plan to go. If you want to go all the way to Hue, then you will want a more comfortable bike and luggage transfer. Otherwise, a one-day rental will be excellent.

Hidden Hint: To make your ride up the hill more enjoyable, be sure to hire a bike with a decent sized engine. Riding up the pass going the same speed as the big trucks is no fun.

The prices for daily rentals at local shops in Hoi An start at 80,000 VND (3.50 USD) and 160,000 VND (7 USD) at the bigger companies. Luggage transfer is 40,000 VND (1.70 USD) per day. We have written about the process of renting a motorbike in Vietnam with Style Motorbikes , in our article about driving from Hue to Hoi An.    We have also collated a list of the most reliable motorbike rental shops in Hoi An and written an introduction to motorbike rental in Vietnam – both excellent reading material before tackling this journey!

Hai Van Pass Route

Directions from hoi an to the hai van pass.

Getting to the start of the Hai Van Pass from Hoi An is a relatively simple exercise in staying next to the beach until you get to the bottom of the hills. The only slightly more complicated part is getting through Da Nang. The route we recommend takes a few minutes longer than the most direct route but is much more enjoyable and more comfortable to follow as it avoids going straight through the centre of Da Nang. Click here to open the directions in Google Maps.

From Hoi An, drive up the main road (Hai Ba Trung) towards An Bang Beach and then turn left at the last set of traffic lights. Stay on the coast road for the next 20 kilometres until you come to a large roundabout. Turn left here and continue straight through the next two roundabouts until you have crossed over the Dragon Bridge.

Take the first right turn at the other end of the bridge to stay on the road next to the river. Continue on this road for two kilometres and stay left at the fork in the road. Then go straight through the roundabout. At the end of the road, turn left and stay on the road next to the coast.  It will swing to the left and connect to the main road. At the main road turn right and stay on this road which takes you to the start of the pass road.

The Best Viewing Stops on the Hai Van Pass

The main reason to ride the Hai Van Pass is for the beautiful views.  But there are also some great spots to stop and relax. Here are our top picks for photo opportunities and other activities.

Hidden Hint: Make sure to take a towel or similar with you to cover the motorbike seat when you stop to take photos. It only takes a minute or two before the sun heats the seat, enough to make it painful to get back on.

The Old French Bunker

The main viewing point is at the old French bunker at the very top of the Hai Van Pass. There are some restaurants up here, and it’s where all the tour buses stop so expect to see a lot of tourists. You can get some great views from here looking both north and south.

There is nothing to stop you from pulling over at any point you think warrants a photo. Just be sure that you are well out of the way of traffic and keep your wits about you as the trucks are very big and sometimes come very close. The best places on the road to stop are at the sharp corners and hairpin bends which give you unimpeded views.  In particular the one here , which is the last big corner before the summit.

On the other side, a great view out to the ocean can be found here.   One of the best spots is here , just before you cross the train track at the bottom of the pass. From this point, you look out across the water to Lang Co where you can see the beach, the town, and the new bridge leading into the Hai Van Tunnel. This is also the same spot where the hosts stopped during the 2008 Top Gear episode.

Food and Drinks

We recommend taking a bottle of water and a banh mi with you.  This way you can stop and have a snack on your way up the pass. But there are also places to buy food along the way. At the top of the pass, there are a few different coffee shops which sell snacks, cold drinks, and some basic meals. Expect prices here to be a bit higher than down at sea level.

If you’re after somewhere with more options and better pricing, then it’s best to go to the restaurants on either side of the Hai Van Pass. On the south side of the pass, you can stop at one of the many restaurants in or on the edges of Da Nang. While on the north side there are some delicious seafood restaurants in the small town of Lang Co.

Hidden Hint: Be Than Restaurant in Lang Co is one of the best seafood restaurants in the area. The food is great and reasonably priced food served fresh in a wonderful setting which overlooks the lagoon. It’s well worth a stop here if you’re passing through.

Optional Extras

The Hai Van Pass is undoubtedly the star of any road trip that passes through it, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing else worth seeing. These are some great detours on both sides of the pass that are worth your time visiting.

Off the Beaten Track

If you want to add some extra action on your motorbike tour to your Hai Van Pass trip, you should consider going off the beaten track. Starting here , at the last hairpin bend before the summit, is a very small winding road which is just a dirt track at some points. It goes around the mountain below the crowded main viewpoint and offers some great views without the tourists. It is a very adventurous track and should only be attempted by experienced riders with an appropriate motorbike. The track reconnects with the main road on the other side of the pass and adds just over an hour to the trip.

Son Tra Peninsula

The Son Tra Peninsula is an easy addition to a trip over the Hai Van Pass and offers comparable views without all the other tourists. It’s a great ride around the lush, forested hills and the steep road (18% at some points) and all its curves make for an enjoyable ride. The peninsula is also home to the Linh Ung Pagoda which has the massive statue of Lady Buddha standing a whopping 67 metres high which can be seen from much of Da Nang. This and the viewpoint at the top of the hill make the Son Tra Peninsula a great addition to any trip near Da Nang.

To get there, simply stay on the main road right next to the beach from Hoi An and you will end up there. Do the same if you are coming from the pass. Stay on the road closest to the beach until you reach the peninsula. Riding the loop, including stopping at the lookout, only takes just over an hour and will only cost you 2,000 VND (0.10c USD) to park at the summit. Be sure to bring your camera.

Hidden Hint: Some of the sections of road are very steep and can be more challenging for inexperienced riders. If you are a confident rider and want to go up all the steep sections, then make the loop clockwise. If you are less confident, then make the loop counter-clockwise to make it easier.

Lang Co Beach

On the north side of the pass is the small fishing town of Lang Co.  It is bisected by both a river and the main highway. The town has some great seafood restaurants at very reasonable prices, and it also has some lovely beach. Turn left at this petrol station after crossing the river, and the road will take you straight to, what is usually a deserted beach.

There are a few restaurants here which will try to get you to park in their spot.  But there’s nothing to stop you pulling up pretty much anywhere. The sun in the middle of the day is scorching, and there is minimal shade, so we recommend timing it for the morning or afternoon. Be careful if you do go swimming because the waves here can be quite powerful sometimes.

Elephant Springs (Suoi Voi)

Once over the pass if you are willing to drive another 15 kilometres, we highly recommend you go to Elephant Springs. Here, you find a riverbed with sets of dammed up pools where you can bathe in crystal clear water. Locals have built small platform-like huts on the riverside which offer shade and beer. Therefore making it the ideal location to spend the hot hours of the day. Adding this option to your Hai Van Pass adventure turns it into a real day trip.  Giving you the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation.

The turnoff to Elephant Springs is not signposted and can be quite hard to find.  It requires doing a u-turn around the barrier to go down a small side street of the main highway. The best way to do this is to use Google maps or maps.me for directions. Click here for the location. To get there, you will pass through a ticket booth on the road. It costs 15,000 VND (0.65c USD) per person to get through.  2,000 VND (0.10c USD) per motorbike to go through. Once on the other side keep going up the road continuing to the carpark at the end.

Once you arrive at the entrance, you will be greeted and lead to one of the poolside huts. You have to use one of these huts to get into the pools, and they do charge for them. Prices range from 25,000 VND (1 USD) 100,000 VND (4.30 USD). Make sure to bargain and agree on a price before you swim to avoid any surprises. Food and drink are also available but can be quite pricey.

Directions from Hoi An to Hue via the Hai Van Pass

A popular trip to make is to go from Hoi An to Hue by the Hai Van Pass motorbike tour. The route is so popular because it is a fun ride over the pass.  It takes in some beautiful scenery, and can quickly be done in a day, including stops to relax and cool down.

The trip can be made as a one-way trip.  But you can easily stay a night or two and come back the same way. Alternatively, you could turn the trip into a multi-day motorbike adventure. So you ride a loop going from Hoi An to Prao, then on to Hue before coming back over the Hai Van Pass. A more in-depth description of this route can be found here . Whatever option you choose, you’ll need to hire a motorbike for the trip. (Read the earlier section on hiring a motorbike for one-way and multi-day options.)

The Other Side of the Pass

Once you get to the other side of the hai van pass, there are two main routes to get to hue. the fastest way is to stay on the main highway all the way to hue. this takes about three and a half hours from hoi an. our preference is to stay on the road next to the coast which splits off after lang co. this takes you through smaller towns.  there is nothing to stop you making as many detours as you like to some of the fantastic beaches. this way takes about four and a half hours. but is well worth the extra time. click here  for the google maps directions..

Hidden Hint: Motorbikes are not allowed to ride through the Hai Van Tunnel. But you can to take the shuttle service which runs around the clock. It costs 30,000 VND (1.30 USD) to shuttle a motorbike through the tunnel. Cutting out 20 kilometres of road and saving 30 minutes to an hour of travel time.

Guided Motorbike Tours of The Hai Van Pass

The Hai Van Pass can be quite a daunting undertaking if you’re not confident on a motorbike. There are so many places to see that it can be hard to know where to go. If you still want the full experience but don’t want to go it alone then consider a tour.  There are lots of motorbike tours available that give you the thrill of riding up one of the world’s most beautiful coastal roads.  You’ll have the benefit of a local guide too who can show you all the best spots.

In Hoi An, you will likely be approached by bikers offering you tours around the countryside or further afield to places like the Hai Van Pass. A lot of locals offer easy-rider tours. It is important to know that easy-rider is not a brand.  Therefore the level of service can vary dramatically between drivers. Easy-riders are usually bigger bikes with a passenger seat that has a backrest to make longer journeys more comfortable. If you decide to go on a longer tour with an easy rider, make sure that you get along with the driver first. You will be spending your whole journey with them, so it helps.

There are multiple reputable companies which offer bike tours to the Hai Van Pass and beyond. Here are our top picks:

Most of the jeeps are convertible or open-top. So you still get to enjoy the wind in your hair without having to ride a motorbike. 

Hoi An Jeep Adventures  offers a Hai Van Pass & Coast tour from Hoi An to Hue. The full day trip costs 3,360,000 VND (145 USD) per person. Tours require a minimum of two people to run however there are often groups for solo travellers to join. 

Bus Tours of the Hai Van Pass

The only way to go on a bus tour over the Hai Van Pass is if you are travelling to Hue. All the buses going over the Hai Van Pass will stop at the top for you to get out and take some photos. Taking a bus is definitely the cheapest way to get to Hue. However, you don’t get the same experience as going on a jeep or motorbike tour.

Hidden’s Thoughts

If you’re confident and comfortable on a motorbike, you won’t want to miss this part of Vietnam. This ride is going to be a dream come true for you. There is no need to be put off if you don’t want to ride a motorbike either.  Simply remove the stress from the occasion and opt for a guided tour, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

what if i do not have International driving licence.

If you do not have an international motorbike license or a Vietnamese licence then you will still be able to rent a motorbike from many providers. However you will face fines should you be pulled over by the police and more importantly you will not be covered by your travel / health insurance should have have a motorcycle accident.

thanks andrew, i am okay with insurance cover but this fines and pulled over by police is frequent and a big issues?

Hi I’m thinking about doing a bike ride In Vietnam for maybe 2 to 4 weeks and don’t have any idea weather to hire or buy a bike and what sort of bike . I have a full bike license but would I need to apply to get a international license ? Thank you 🙏🏼

private car trip Hué to Hoi An via Hai Van pass

Very responsive to email request for net day trip between Hué and Hoi An. Our driver Sanh was informative and very helpful - took us to places we never would have found on our own. Not great weather (lots of rain) but a very good trip. Thoroughly recommend.

For the logistics: - This was a private tour for the two for us, accompanied by our guide Bumblebee and the experienced jeep driver Sun. The jeep itself was in pristine condition, with couple of improvements that made the driving smoother (stirring wheel!). - We were picked up at our hotel, and the car we changed to in Da Nang dropped us of at our hotel in Hoi An For the tour itself: - we had the best day! Bumblebee and Sun were really fun to hang out with, bumblebee provided us with important insights not only on sightseeing but also on the life of Vietnamese people, and we’re grateful to be able to understand a bit more Vietnam from past, present and future. - the choice of itinerary was just perfect, we had the road for ourself most of the time, driving through authentic villages and peaceful ride paddies. The waterfall stop was really chill, it was a good opportunity to relax with local residents. Overall excellent trip, thank you so much!!

This is definitely the way to Travel between Hoi An and Hue! They transport you in an air condition car the first hour until you’re moving up the mountain pass, then move to the jeep. Didn’t miss the Aircon with the open breeze. The driver was very good and careful. Bumblebee is an excellent tour guide… Fun and very informative… with an expansive English vocabulary… And most willing to chat about any topic or questions you have. In our 60’s… And we loved it!

Brilliant tour around Hue with Bumblebee his knowledge and expertise of all the different sights was outstanding and he even brought us to a fantastic restaurant. Would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking of going to hue

We chose the army Jeep from Hue to Hou An. It's a full day tour starting at 8:30 and finishing at 4:30. Our guide was Bumblebee and our driver was Michael. They made the whole day such fun. We laughed so much whilst also seeing the real countryside of Vietnam. Everyone raves about the Hai Van Pass, however, whilst it is spectacular it is simply one element of a fantastic day. It was so much more than we hoped for. Bumblebee is very attentive and informative and has english is very good. I can't recommend thus day trip enough. Finally, it's a door to door service. Excellent.

Amazing day with bumblebee ! We had the motorbike tour from Hue to Hoi An and this has been one of our best day so far ! Highly recommended

HUE TO HOI AN | Hai Van Pass Adventure

There is no shortage of epic road trips around Vietnam. The roads all over the country are spectacular, and whether you are exploring the Ha Giang Loop in the north, or the road from Hue to Hoi An in central Vietnam, you are guaranteed sensational views. This road trip makes for an epic day and it includes the famed Hai Van Pass.

This iconic road trip was brought to mainstream popularity by the tv show Top Gear . The Hai Van Pass Top Gear special showed the rest of the world how incredible this short stretch of road truly is. It created a boom in tourism and now travelers come in their thousands every year to rent a scooter and drive along the east coast of Vietnam .

Before I ever started travelling, I remember watching that episode of Top Gear and dreaming of doing this road trip myself one day. Riding a scooter along this road was a bit of a bucket list moment and even after years of building the trip up in my mind, it did not disappoint.

Renting a scooter and cruising around a new country is our favourite way to explore and Vietnam was no exception. We rented scooters everywhere we went including Poem Mountain , Hang Mua Cave and the Ha Giang Loop .

Hue to Hoi An via the Hai Van Pass Tour

While we recommend driving your own motorbike (more on that below) there is an awesome tour available for those that don’t wish to drive themselves. You can take a retro open-top jeep that will stop at all of the major sights along the way.

We saw quite a few of these jeeps as we were driving along on our bike and it looked like a lot of fun. The jeeps also run in both directions between Hue and Hoi An so it doesn’t matter which way you are going.

Book your retro jeep tour between Hue and Hoi An here.

Motorbike and Scooter Rental

When taking trips like this we always like to put in a bit of research and make sure we are going with a well-rated company who won’t rent us a bike that will leave us stranded halfway up a mountain somewhere.

After researching the different companies, we found that Motorvina was the best option for reliability and budget. It is also important to find a company that offers one-way bike rentals and will transport your luggage for you, saving you the hassle of strapping it to the back of your bike.

Motorvina ticked all the boxes for us and they only charged 450,000 VND ($19.50 USD) per bike. As we shared a bike this meant it was less than $10 per person. A staff member from Motorvina dropped our bike off to us in the morning, collected our bags, provided us with a map and sat down with us to talk through the route and how long it would take.

We reckon riding your own bike is the ultimate way to experience this drive but for those who don’t feel confident riding bikes or scooters, the retro jeep tour is a great option.

What to Bring on Your Bike

If you are like us and have a company transporting your bag from Hue to Hoi An, then you need to think about what you will actually take with you on the motorbike. Below is a list of the things we took that all fit under our seat but were essentials for the day.

• Swim Suit – There are several opportunities to stop and have a swim along the way so make sure you take a swimsuit with you. We decided to skip taking a towel and just let mother nature do her thing.
• Sun Screen – It’s too easy to get burnt on this trip. Between riding around on a motorbike and swimming in the water you can easily forget you are in the sun all day. Keep the sun screen on to stop yourself getting burnt to a crisp.
• Bandana or Face Mask – This is something you will see most of the locals wearing as they ride their bikes. It will prevent you from inhaling dirt, dust and fumes while riding your scooter.
• Good pair of shoes – Anytime you are riding a motorbike we recommend a proper pair of trainers or shoes, rather than just flip flops. This day also involves a lot of walking which makes trainers a good choice.
• Camera – This road trip is beautiful and you’re going to want to take a camera to take some pictures of all the different places you visit.

Hue to Hoi An Itinerary

This trip makes for an action packed day of adventuring! It takes around 4 hours for you to drive straight from Hue to Hoi An, but with all or most of the stops included it will take 7-8 hours total.

The distance is only around 120 kilometres but with hilly and windy roads it actually takes a bit of time to cover this short stretch of road. Our itinerary lays out the main stops along the way and is designed to be completed in a single day.

While the roads are fairly busy with several trucks and busses passing by, they are not very difficult to drive along. Vietnamese drivers are not as crazy as in some of the other Asian countries and the roads are big and very well maintained.

Unlike the Ha Giang Loop , this isn’t a tricky or dangerous road to drive on. Even if you have limited experience riding a bike or a scooter, you should have no worries cruising along this awesome section of coastline. That being said, only drive if you are comfortable and make sure you are covered by your travel insurance for any injuries.

Key Highlights of the Trip

Elephant springs, lang co beach, hai van pass, linh ung pagoda, my khe beach, marble mountain.

After having our bike delivered and getting ourselves organized, we set out from Hue at 10 am, which is actually a little later than we would recommend. Try and get out early to get a head start on the day.

After 45 minutes you will pass by some quaint fishing villages and after an hour you drive through some rice terraces. The drive to Elephant Springs takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes on a scooter. Entrance fee for the springs is 15,000 VND ($0.65 USD) per person and parking costs 2,000 VND ($0.09 USD) for a scooter or 10,000 VND ($0.43 USD) for a car.

The way our plans worked out meant that we were doing this drive on the weekend, which meant everything was much busier than usual. This is a very busy spot for local tourists and Elephant Springs was absolutely packed with close to a thousand people here.

Elephant Springs is a collection of small pools that have been built into the river and one of the rocks has been made to look like an elephant, hence the name. The river is surrounded by small wooden huts where you can pay to sit and keep your things with many of the huts offering food as well. As we weren’t staying long we just dropped our bags on one of the nearby rocks and climbed into one of the many pools for a dip.

The water was very refreshing and felt good in the morning heat. This is a really cool place, but it was just insanely busy when we were there. During the week this would be an awesome place to hang out with much fewer people around.

This is one of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam and the awesome thing is that it is always empty. We drove right down to the beachfront to get a closer look and once we drove to the end of the road there was literally not another person in sight.

This is such a beautiful stretch of golden sand, and the water is a nice shade of blue here. We were super impressed with this beach, especially because central Vietnam isn’t typically known for its amazing beaches. There are a couple of restaurants serving fresh seafood right on the beach, and it would be an epic spot to stop and have lunch.

The best part about this beach isn’t actually the beach itself though. Once you drive away from the beach and start your ascent of the Hai Van Pass, you can pull over to the side of the road to get an amazing view of the beach from above. There is no designated look out, so make sure you pull your motorbike right off the road and enjoy the view.

The beach stretches out for miles and the water right below the road is crystal clear. There were some local fishermen diving below us and it was cool to watch them dive down and swim in the clear blue water beneath us. This is easily one of the best views on the whole trip from Hue to Hoi An.

This section of road is the reason that this whole trip has become so popular. Like we mentioned earlier, the episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond ride their bikes along the Hai Van Pass in Vietnam has shot this road to international fame.

The road twists and turns as it winds its way up the mountainside. The roads, which have been carved out from the side of the mountains, offer stunning views to anyone that drives along them.

The main highlight is the viewpoint located right at the top of the Hai Van Pass. There are several shops and restaurants that have been built right on the edge of the mountain, where you can grab a drink or some food and sit and enjoy the views.

We got lucky and arrived just before several tour busses showed up and the place was flooded with tourists. Our early arrival meant that we were able to snag a couple of seats right on the edge with incredible views across the mountains and down to the ocean.

After a couple of cold drinks, we walked around the peak of the mountain as you can see for miles in both directions. The views up here are awesome! Once we had our fill we hopped on the scooter and started the descent towards Da Nang.

The drive down the Hai Van Pass was also beautiful, and we stopped at several places along the way to enjoy the view and snap some photos. This included one spot where a huge boulder protrudes out the side of the mountain and you are able to climb up onto the boulder and enjoy the view.

The Linh Ung Pagoda is a temple located on the coastal road near Da Nang. It is a popular tourist attraction due to the giant white statue of Lady Buddha, which marks the entrance to the Pagoda. The statue stands 67 metres tall and can be seen from miles away.

As we started later in the day we didn’t actually make the drive out to Linh Ung Pagoda this trip, but we were able to appreciate the Lady Buddha statue from quite a distance. It’s an impressive structure and Roxy visited it on her first trip to Vietnam.

Compared with the beauty of Lang Co Beach, My Khe Beach is not quite as pretty. But it is still an awesome beach and it is always cool to have a beach this good in the heart of a bustling city.

We parked our motorbike and went for a short walk along the golden sands of My Khe Beach. As it was later in the afternoon when we arrived, it was very quiet, but we imagine it would be packed during the day. It’s another good spot to go for a swim, cool off and wash some of the dirt from the day’s driving away.

The final stop on the road trip from Hue to Hoi An is Marble Mountain. The name is a little misleading, as it is more of a hill than a mountain, but it is made of marble so I guess that part makes sense. Marble Mountain can be found a few kilometres south of Da Nang and is situated close to the coast.

Entrance fee to the mountain is 40,000 VND ($1.70 USD) per person and the one-way elevator trip to the top costs an extra 15,000 VND ($0.65 USD) per person. If you are feeling fit and healthy then you can climb the stairs up to the top of Marble Mountain for free.

When we pulled up to the entrance we were hounded by locals trying to get us to park in their shops and they told us we could park for free. They then asked us to purchase something in their shop if we parked for free so be wary of this when you go. There is plenty of places to park your bike for free near the entrance and that’s exactly what we did instead.

We were kind of surprised by how cool this spot was. Our expectations weren’t particularly high, but this is definitely an interesting place that is worth stopping at. There are numerous caves, temples and lookouts to enjoy and they are connected by a maze of passages that cut through the jagged rocks.

The coolest part of this stop was climbing up through one of the caves to reach the summit of Marble Mountain. It is quite a narrow passageway that takes a bit of climbing to get through, but the views at the top are immense. You have the chance to take in 360 degree views of Da Nang and the surrounding area and there is also a small hole at the top of the cave that allows you to peer back down to where you started.

After spending just over an hour exploring Marble Mountain we hopped back on our bike and drove the final 25 minutes to the Motorvina Bike shop in Hoi An. Our bags were already waiting for us which was awesome and we hopped in a Grab taxi to take us to our accommodation.

Hoi An is one of the most beautiful cities you are ever likely to see, especially at night when it is lit up with traditional Vietnamese lanterns. Enjoy the amazing food and beautiful scenery of this incredible place.

Where to Stay in Hoi An

Budget: Jolie Villa Hoi An Homestay – Like all of the cheaper places in Hoi An, Jolie Villa is located a short distance from the centre of the city. This is no worries though as you have access to free bicycles and it is only a 5-minute bike ride to reach the centre. You also get access to a nearby pool. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, and our air conditioned, double room only cost 243,000 VND ($10.50 USD) per night.

Mid-Range: MaiChi Villa Hoi An – Enjoy cooling off in the middle of the day at the outdoor pool here. The MaiChi Villa also offers free bike rentals to all guests and has its own pool and bar.

Luxury: Cozy Savvy Boutique Hotel Hoi An – The biggest selling point for this boutique hotel is the incredible rooftop pool. Enjoy an epic sunset over the river from your own rooftop pool. With great rooms to match the rooftop pool, this is a fantastic choice.

Final Thoughts

There is genuinely no better way to spend a day in Vietnam than riding along the coast on a motorbike. There are endless places to explore and the road from Hue to Hoi An, which includes the Hai Van Pass, is about as good as it gets for a road trip.

With stunning beaches, mountain lookouts and swimming holes, this day trip has everything you could want rolled up into one action-packed day. It’s an epic trip and definitely something you’ll want to put on your Vietnam itinerary.
