How to get from Hue to Hoi An
Directions in Hue
If you depart from Hue city center, you follow the following route:
- Follow the direction of An Duong Vuong – Nguyen Tat Thanh to National Highway 1A.
- Turn left into the Phuoc Tuong Tunnel from Highway 1A/Ly Thanh Tong.
- Continue on National Highway 1A until you reach the Hai Van Pass/National Highway 1A interchange.
- At this point, there are two options. One is to follow route QA1A through Hai Van tunnel by shuttle bus. Second, turn right to cross Hai Van Pass.
Road to tunnels or over Hai Van pass
The Hue – Da Nang road is famous for those who love backpacking or traveling by motorbike through Hai Van Pass. On one side are majestic mountains, and on the other is the blue East Sea; you can walk and admire the scenery. At the same time, stop at the back of the pass or Hai Van Quan to check-in.
However, it would help if you were careful because the pass has many curves; oil tankers often pass by, or occasionally, there are potholes, etc. If you go to the tunnel, you must charter a shuttle bus for $50,000 each automobile. Going underground will be faster and safer than going uphill if you are still determining the steering wheel.

What means of transportation should you take to Hoi An?
The answer is by bus. Many tourists choose buses or passenger cars when traveling from Hue to Hoi An. The advantage of traveling by bus or passenger car is having comfortable seats or beds. Feeling sleepy while walking, you can lean back and rest a bit. Besides, the current buses are pretty clean and rarely crammed with people. In particular, for many women or older tourists who need help driving, the bus from Hue to Hoi An is an ideal and safe means of transportation.
However, if you take the bus, you must be on time since the bus departs from the station according to the itinerary and follows a set timetable. On the other side, for automobile owners, the scent of gasoline is a “obsession”. Buses and passenger automobiles, in example, frequently travel through tunnels, thus tourists want opportunities to observe natural beauty, such as crossing a pass.
