Travelling by bus from Nha Trang to DaLat takes 1 hour longer compared to taking a minivan.

With ticket prices from €9.40, the bus is only slightly cheaper. We don’t think the savings is worth the comfort and speed you’ll otherwise get with a minivan ride.

But if you still want to take the bus, several companies operate on this route every day.

Departure and arrival station

Buses depart from Nha Trang Central Bus Station, which you can find 7 km west of the city centre.

They park at Dalat Interprovincial Bus Terminal, some 3 km southeast of the town centre.

We recommend travelling by limo van from Nha Trang to DaLat. Limo van tickets are slightly more expensive than the bus. But in return, you get a luxurious ride in a van with great seats.

iHome Transfer, Nasa Travel, Gorotrip Limousine, Khanh Phong, Lac Hong, Catthienhai Travel, GoEz Travel and S Travel are eight trusted companies operating limo vans from Nha Trang to DaLat. Fares start from €9.40 for the journey that takes 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes.

Which limo van to take?

We recommend travelling with Lac Hong Luxury Minivan because it gets very good reviews. Their drivers are highly-praised for good and safe driving, while their vans are known to be clean and comfortable. Also, they offer free hotel pick-up in Nha Trang.

Lac Hong offers 4 trips daily. And on weekends, tickets sell out fast. So it’s best to book a ticket with Lac Hong at least a week in advance!

We’ve only heard about good experiences with Lac Hong so far and that’s why we recommend booking with Lac Hong if you want to travel by van from Nha Trang to DaLat.

Note: One other popular company operating on this route is Catthienhai Travel. However, we have received several complaints about this company and that is why we DO NOT recommend booking with Catthienhai Travel.

Lac Hong offers free hotel pick-up in Nha Trang and parks at its office in Dalat, 2km west of Xuan Huong Lake in the city centre. You can walk or take a short taxi ride to your hotel.
