- Limousine van: 3.5 hours — $13-18 — direct, hotel-to-hotel

- Private car (Easy Riders): 6-8 hours — $55-90 — flexible photo stops
- Motorbike with rider: 6 hours — $35 — bag transfer separately
Recommended: Tourist bus with stops
Worth the extra time if it's your first trip. Stops include:
- Lang Co Bay (10-min photo stop)
- Hai Van Pass summit (15 min)
- Marble Mountains (45 min)
- Da Nang dragon bridge
Skip the train
Trains run Hue → Da Nang only (3 hours) and you'll still need a 45-minute taxi to Hoi An. Buses and vans are faster door-to-door.
