There are no flights from Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An because the ancient town has no airport. Therefore, we recommend you fly to Da Nang City before heading to Hoi An since the two cities are around 40km apart, which takes around 45 - 60 minutes to travel by buses or cars.

As hosts, we will guide you on traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hoi An in the most detailed and dedicated way in this article. Let's get started!

How to Get from Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An without flights

As we mentioned above, Hoi An does not have an airport, as a result there are no flights from Ho Chi Minh City to the town.

If you want to save time or love traveling by air, choosing direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang is the best idea. This is because Da Nang International Airport is the nearest one to Hoi An’s town center with the distance between the two cities about 30km and a travel time of approximately 40 - 60 minutes.

If you are on a budget and not in a hurry, you should consider traveling by train or coach. With those transportation options, you will receive authentic views of our country along the way. You have a chance to see the natural landscape, people, and more that you might not have experienced before. However, you will spend around 20 hours on moving from Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An ancient town.

To optimize your time and experience more about Vietnamese culture, we highly recommend you travel by plane.
