What's the quickest way to get from Hue or Danang to Hoi An? Time allowed at each place???

Question

We're travelling by ourselves (no tour group or anything) so we were wondering the best way to get there and then onto Dalat? Mini buses/train??? How do we book these? Also, our total Vietnam tour is about 18 days so how many days would people recommend staying in Hue and Hoi An? We're going to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Danang, Hoi An, Dalat and HCMC. Please Help!!!

Answer 1

from Hue you can go by train to Danang it take about 3.30 hours or can take tourist bus about 4 hours and go direct to Hoi An. But the best way is to take private car and go over Hai Van pass and enjoy great panaroma and Sceneries from Top of Hai Van pass. You should stay in Hue 2 night and then another 2 nights in Hoi An is good.

Good luck

Answer 2

You can ride a bus or minibus from Hue to Danang and then on to Hoian. From there, take another bus to Nha Trang and then to Dalat. Write to [e-mail] to book your bus trips.

You can also ride the Reunification Express Luxury train from Hanoi to Hue and then on to Danang. From Danang, use bus or van services for Hoian and take the train again from Danang to Nha Trang and bus to Dalat.

Use the suggested itinerary on

http://www.hotelvietnamonline.com/Tours/... as an example to plan your trip except:

-Skip the Mekong Delta tour

-Add the Dalat tour (take the bus from Nha Trang). Two to three days.

- Add a day or two each to Hanoi, Hue and HCMC

i find the most pleasant way to get from hue [2 nights 3 days take a dragon boat ride see ming manhs tomb etc.] to da nang is by train.. its a short 3-4 hr ride. just go down to the hue train station and buy a ticket. another good way is to take a mini directly to hoi an.. but dont stay at the 1st hotel they try ro push on you its usuall on the outskirts of town. if you can afford a private car , that may be faster. unless you are staying at one of the beach resorts in da nang i would recommend taking a taxi or motor bike directly to hoi an [another 1 hr ride [ $5-$7us ]. spend 2-3 nights in hoi an , do your shopping early especially if you getting tailored clothes. hit the restaurants  bars and cafes at night [ the town closes up early. go down to the cam island bridge [ found on all maps on the back of local business cards] down by the market and get some of the woman there[ they will find you] to take you on a late afternoon boat ride.. could be the best thing you do in viet nam.[ good for your first afternoon there] next day get a private motor or go on a tour to my son or marble mt [ da nang].. if you have time do one each day.

  ha noi, old town ,hoan kiem district is nicest and most convieint for 1st timers. 2-nights take a day trip to ha long. [you could do an overnight tour in ha long or mai chau valley ]leave da lat out you dont have the time and it pretty much sucks [ except for the climate and surrounding countryside] better to stop in nha trang taking a plane or overnight train from da nang . plane to sai gon 2 nights there is pleanty on your 18 day schedual...ha noi 3 nights , hue 2 nights, hoi an / da nang 2-3 nights ,nha trang 3-4 nights, sai gon 2nights alow a day for travel between each place theris plenty to see and do in and around nha trang you can add time there no problem.  enjoi your trip.. and dont hurry .. you WILL go back!
