Hoi An doesn’t have its own airport. So when flying from Hoi An to Hanoi, you’ll have to take a flight from Da Nang.

TIP: If you decide to travel by plane, please consider including a carbon compensation fee to reduce your impact on the environment.

Step 1: Hoi An to Da Nang by Bus

30m - 1h 30m$3 (79,000 VND)

Da Nang Airport is 30 km northwest of Hoi An. To get there, you can take either a 30m - 1h 30m shuttle bus or a taxi. Rates start from $3 (79,000 VND) and $12 (320,000 VND), respectively.

If you’re travelling solo, it’s already convenient to take the shuttle bus. It will pick you up from Hoi An centre and take you straight to Da Nang Airport. But if you’re travelling in a group, it will be more cost-efficient to just take a taxi.

You can book your shuttle bus ticket or private transfer beforehand through BookAway.

Visit our page on Da Nang Airport for more info.

Other options include the shuttle bus, public bus, and taxi.

For more details on how to reach Hanoi city centre, check out our page on Hanoi Airport.

Hanoi

The train is an interesting way to travel from Hoi An to Hanoi. It will be a very long train journey, but the ride itself will be an adventure. Also, you’ll enjoy the many beautiful sights along the way.

There is also no train station in Hoi An. This means you’ll need to get a bus or taxi to the closest train station, which is in Da Nang.

Step 1: Hoi An to Da Nang by Minivan

45m - 2h$4.40 (114,000 VND)

From Hoi An city centre, you can take either a minivan or a taxi to travel the 30 km going north to Da Nang Railway Station. Travel time is around 45m - 2h

Minivans are available every hour or two from 06:00 to 20:00 daily. Fares start from $4.40 (114,000 VND). There are several companies operating on this route and they depart from their respective offices in Hoi An town centre.

If you’d rather be picked up from your hotel, you can get a taxi for around $17 (440,000 VND).

Whether you’re taking a minivan or a taxi, we recommend pre-booking your ride via BookAway. This way, you can expect a ride on your preferred day and time. Also, BookAway offers fixed rates, unlike local taxi drivers who often try to overcharge tourists.

See our page on Da Nang Railway Station for more info.

IMPORTANT: Cheap public buses run direct from Hoi An to Da Nang every 20 to 30 minutes, from about 05:30 to 18:00, and you pay on board.

Step 2: Da Nang to Hanoi by Train

16h 4m - 18h 27m$25 (640,000 VND)

Travelling by train from Da Nang to Hanoi is a good way to make a very long journey quite fun. The train ride alone is already an adventure, but you’ll also get the bonus of seeing many beautiful sights along the way.

The fastest train can complete this journey in around 16 hours, with ticket prices from $25 (640,000 VND) for a bunk at a 4-berth sleeper.

You can also get a 6-berth sleeper or a much cheaper soft seat. But for this very long ride, we think a bed at a 4-berth sleeper will be the most comfortable.
