Tips before your trip

Make sure you apply for your Passport and Visa

Visa Information:

Apps to Download:

- Download Grab App for transportation from and to the airport   

  (ask for your drivers number and use them for the entire trip!)

- Purchase Travel Insurance 

Below is the company I used for Travel Insurance. It is easy and affordable. You can buy as you go.

- Currency: VND- Bring large bills and exchange at jewelry stores for the best exchange rate

- Traveling to Hoi An from Da Nang takes about 45 minutes by car.

- Ask your Grab driver for his/her number so they can be your private driver for the trip

- Hoi An is known for custom tailored outfits, especially suits and linen

- Explore during the day through the night as you will get to see the town transform

- Rent a bike if you do not want to walk as cars are not allowed inside

- Rent a traditional outfit and hire a photographer to capture what Hoi An has to offer

Transportation

If you’re flying into Da Nang, then you’ll need to arrange for an airport transfer into Hoi An. Da Nang Airport is about 30 km away so it’ll take about 45 minutes to get there by car.

TAXI: Based on what I’ve read, it’ll cost you at least VND 350,000 to get to Hoi An from Da Nang Airport via taxi. Going by taxi is fine, but you’ll probably pay less if you arrange for a private transfer. 

PRIVATE TRANSFER: This is the easiest and fastest way to get to Hoi An from Da Nang Airport. You can arrange this with your Hotel.

GRAB: Taking a grab from the airport can save you some money too and will take about 45 minutes.
