Why Choose a Private Car?
With Explore Vietnam, you can tailor the trip to your preferences, choosing departure times, scenic detours, and unplanned photo stops. All vehicles are modern, air-conditioned, and driven by professional, English-speaking drivers who provide local insight along the way.
Da Nang: A Dynamic City
Your journey begins in Da Nang, one of Vietnam’s fastest-growing cities, known for its beaches, modern skyline, and proximity to cultural hubs like Hoi An and Hue. After a hotel pickup, your driver will guide you northward along a route rich with diverse landscapes and historical importance.
Vehicles range from spacious sedans to SUVs, accommodating couples, families, or small groups with ease.
What to See Along the Way?
One of the biggest perks of traveling by private car is the ability to explore lesser-known spots and make stops tailored to your interests. Some highlights between Da Nang and Dong Hoi include:
1. Hai Van Pass
Shortly after leaving Da Nang, you’ll cross the Hai Van Pass, one of Vietnam’s most iconic mountain roads. The pass offers panoramic views of the coastline and makes a perfect photo stop. Your driver can pause at the summit for pictures and to explore the French-era bunkers still scattered across the hillside.
2. Lang Co Bay
At the base of Hai Van Pass lies the peaceful Lang Co Lagoon, a serene spot surrounded by water and mountains. It’s a great place for a coffee break or a quick seafood snack in a floating restaurant.
3. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
As you continue north through Quang Tri province, you’ll enter an area that played a crucial role during the Vietnam War. Optional stops include:
- Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River, which once divided North and South Vietnam.
- Vinh Moc Tunnels (upon request+10$), an underground village where civilians lived to escape bombings.
4. Historic Citadel of Quang Tri
History enthusiasts may enjoy a brief visit to the Quang Tri Citadel, which saw intense fighting during the 1972 Easter Offensive. It’s a solemn but powerful stop that offers insights into the country’s complex past.
The Drive: Landscapes in Transition
The route takes you from Da Nang’s urban energy to the rural quiet of Central Vietnam, passing fishing villages, rice paddies, coastal plains, and forested hills. It’s a journey that reveals the country’s geographical and cultural variety.
With a travel time of around 6 to 7 hours, including breaks, you can expect a smooth, well-paced day. The car is stocked with bottled water, and rest stops are made whenever needed, making it easy for families or older travelers.
Arrival in Dong Hoi: Gateway to Phong Nha
Located in Quang Binh province, Dong Hoi is a peaceful riverside city that serves as the gateway to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, home to some of the world’s largest and most spectacular caves. Whether you’re heading straight to the caves or spending a night in town, your driver will ensure a direct, hassle-free drop-off at your hotel.
