Let’s Go!
Departing at 9am from your hostel in either Hoi An, you get picked up by old school open-top jeeps and start to make your way north to the Hai Van Pass.
Before you get to the Hai Van Pass, you will pass the magnificent Marble Mountains Pagoda Complex (but get your camera ready as this isn’t a scheduled stop!). The jeeps then take the coastal route round Da Nang to make your way up to the first part of the Hai Van Pass.
Whilst making your way up the Pass, your driver will stop and allow you to take some amazing pictures of Da Nang and lush environment around Da Nang Bay. These are postcard-worthy views!
The next stop on the list is an old abandoned fort, which was built by the French and later used by US and South Vietnamese troops during the Vietnam War. Here you get to explore the old fort and take some more Instagram-worthy pictures of the Pass, as well as grabbing a quick bite to eat and something to drink.
After the fort, you make your way down the windy roads of the Pass towards Hue taking the coastal scenic route… But strap in! The ride gets bumpy! Light relief comes in the form of a quick bridge stop, where you’ll take in the seafront views.
The next stop is Lang Co Beach, where you are warmly welcomed by the hosts and served a delicious traditional Vietnamese lunch (included in the cost). You can also take a refreshing dip in the sea, so make sure you pack your swimmers in your day bag!
The final part of your jeep journey takes you through lush Vietnamese countryside, before arriving in Hue and being dropped off at your chosen hostel around 4 pm.
5 Reasons to Travel the Hai Van Pass by Jeep!
- You won’t arrive at your destination a nervous wreck. The roads are windy, steep and busy. These really aren’t roads for novice moped riders or inexperienced drivers!
- You’ll arrive in one piece. The amount of backpackers who arrive in Hue with exhaust burns, scraped knees, and an insurance bill to boot says it all…
- A chance to sit back and relax. If you’re constantly watching out for hazards, it’s hard to sit back and enjoy the ride (or the views). Riding jeep-style allows you to do both!
- Be entertained along the way. The Road Trippers guides are entertaining and hilarious. Your guide will undoubtedly make your cheeks ache!
- Pick up some new backpacker friends. It’s hard to make friends when you’re driving a motorbike! The open top jeep is the perfect place to bond and share a beer with new pals.

FAQs
Hai Van Pass Jeep Tour FAQs:
What should I pack in my day bag?
- A fully-charged camera / mobile phone would be the most important thing to pack as this tour is all about the amazing views!
- If you fancy a swim at lunch, then pack swim wear too.
- You’ll also need some money to buy drinks. (Non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are on ice in the Jeep and available for sale.)
- Drinks and snacks can also be purchased at our stops – lunch is included.
- As this jeep is open top, waterproofs (or a poncho) wouldn’t go amiss too!
- If you’ve got them, travel speakers so you can blast out a few backpacker tunes.
How many people are in each jeep?
There are around 4-5 people in each jeep depending on luggage. The maximum is 5 people per jeep. If more people book the tour that day, we will travel with a convoy of jeeps.
Can I bring my luggage with me?
Yes! You can bring your backpack or suitcase with you along the way. Included in the price is one piece of luggage per person (up to 30kg), as well as a small rucksack or handbag. If you have more luggage there might be an extra charge of 15 USD per bag. (This is in the case that we can’t fit it all in the Jeep and need to get an extra Jeep or transfer organised.)
Where is the pick up/drop off?
We will pick you up at the door of your hostel and drop you off at the door of your next hostel in Hue/Hoi An.
Can I do the trip in reverse?
Road Trippers offer the tour in both directions (Hoi An to Hue, or Hue to Hoi An). Just select the option that you want when you book!
Does the trip include alcohol?
The Hai Van Pass Jeep Tour includes lunch and bottled water, but no alcohol. Drinking on board is allowed and there are cold drinks available for sale in each jeep.
Will I get travel sick?
The route is windy and the road can get bumpy. If you’re prone to getting travel sick, then visit a local pharmacy before you travel and they’ll be able to offer some solutions. Or, pack a plastic bag and some mints!

Kim –
I think this is an excellent alternative to travelling by bus or train. The lunch stop at the beach was particularly welcomed as it was very hot. I had expected a little more local knowledge and info along the way from the guides, but other than that I was happy with the trip.
