🚙

Jeep M151 + Transfer Car

A private car picks you up in Hội An/Đà Nẵng and drives to the pass. The open Jeep M151 takes over at Hải Vân — the section that matters. Both vehicles exclusively yours.

🏔

Hai Van Pass — Top Stop

Time at the summit — French bunker ruins, old military fortifications, 360° views of the South China Sea and the mountains. One of the great viewpoints in Asia.

🏛

Marble Mountain

The five marble and limestone hills south of Đà Nẵng — caves, pagodas and war history. Entry fee included.

🍜

Seafood Lunch at Lăng Cô

Fresh seafood at a restaurant on Lăng Cô Beach — one of Vietnam's most beautiful bays. Fully included in the tour price.

🏊

Swimming — Beach or Waterfall

Choose between Lăng Cô Beach or a hidden jungle waterfall with a natural swimming pool. Your guide knows both.

🌊

Lập An Lagoon

One of Vietnam's most photogenic spots — a glassy lagoon reflecting the Hải Vân mountains, with traditional stilt fishing huts. Time to explore and photograph.

🗺️ Full Day Itinerary

155 km of the Best
Road in Vietnam.

The route from Hội An to Hải Vân Pass combines three landscapes in one day — ancient hills, dramatic mountain coast and a sheltered lagoon. The Jeep takes over where the road gets legendary.

📋 How It Works

A private car picks you up from your hotel and drives to Hải Vân Pass — the Jeep M151 doesn't have a permit for the full highway route. At the pass, you switch to the open Jeep for the summit section, then continue by Jeep to Lăng Cô and the lagoon.

  1. 08:00

    Hotel Pickup — Hội An or Đà Nẵng

    Your private car and English-speaking driver collect you from your hotel. 2 bottles of cold water per person on board.

  2. 09:00

    Marble Mountain

    Five marble and limestone hills rising from the coastal plain south of Đà Nẵng. Caves, pagodas, war history and panoramic views of the coast. Entrance fee included.

  3. 10:30

    Switch to Jeep M151 — Hải Vân Base

    At the foot of the pass, the open Jeep M151 takes over. The roof comes off, the coast opens up — and the real drive begins.

  4. 11:00

    Hải Vân Pass — Summit

    The top of the pass: 496m above the South China Sea, 360° views, French colonial bunker ruins, old military walls and one of the most dramatic panoramas on Vietnam's coast. Time to explore freely.

  5. 12:30

    Lăng Cô Beach — Seafood Lunch

    Down from the pass to Lăng Cô Bay — one of Vietnam's most beautiful stretches of sand. Seafood lunch at a beachside restaurant, fully included.

  6. 14:00

    Swimming — Beach or Waterfall

    Your choice: swim in the clear waters of Lăng Cô Beach, or take the jungle path to a hidden waterfall with a natural green pool. Your guide knows both. Most guests can't decide — so they do both.

  7. 15:30

    Lập An Lagoon

    A glassy lagoon sheltered between the pass and the coast — fishing huts on stilts, reflections of the Hải Vân mountains, egrets. One of the most photogenic stops on the entire route.

  8. 17:00

    Drop-off — Hội An / Đà Nẵng or Huế

    Return to your hotel in Hội An or Đà Nẵng (day tour, $89 USD). Or continue to Huế for a one-way transfer ($80 USD).

"The Hai Van Pass on an open Jeep is one of those travel experiences that lives up to every word of hype. The views from the top were extraordinary. The waterfall swimming was unexpected and perfect. The whole day was just extraordinary."

"
★★★★★

"We did the Hội An to Huế option and it was the best way to travel between the two cities by a mile. Lập An Lagoon was something I didn't know existed and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Don't skip it."

"
★★★★★

"The Jeep at the pass was the highlight — standing up through the mountains with that view of the coast. Seafood lunch at Lăng Cô was incredible. Our driver was brilliant. Easily the best day of our Vietnam trip."

❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything guests ask before booking.

  • The Jeep M151 doesn't have a permit to drive on certain highway sections between Hội An and the pass. So a private car picks you up and drives the highway portion, then you meet the Jeep at Hải Vân. You get the Jeep for the section that actually matters — the pass itself and the coastal road beyond.

  • The Day Tour ($89/pax) starts and ends in Hội An or Đà Nẵng — you return to your hotel at the end. The Hội An → Huế transfer ($80/pax) uses the same route but drops you off in Huế city centre at the end. Ideal if you're already planning to travel north to Huế.

  • Yes — a full seafood lunch at Lăng Cô Beach is included in the Day Tour ($89 USD). For the Hội An → Huế option ($80 USD), meals are not included — you'll stop at Lăng Cô and can order lunch at your own cost.

  • Both are great. Lăng Cô Beach is wider, flatter and great for families. The waterfall has a natural pool in the jungle — cooler, more adventurous, fewer people. Most guests who ask end up doing both since they're close. Tell us your preference when booking and your driver will plan accordingly.

  • Yes. The standard departure is 8:00 AM but this can be adjusted. Tell us your preferred start time when booking and we'll confirm.

  • Day Tour: $89 USD per person, minimum 2 guests. Includes Jeep + car, seafood lunch, entrance fees and water. Hội An → Huế one-way: $80 USD per person, minimum 2 guests. Meals excluded on the one-way option.
