Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang Destination Reviews

Everything was wonderful! I forgot my Panama hat on the bus and couldn't make a call because I don't speak Vietnamese and I don't have a Vietnamese number. The operator helped me and told me where I could put my stuff, I was very glad, thank you!!

To sum up, it’s decent. Nevertheless think twice as you are 6’2 feet as me. I had luck that my seating hadn’t anyone in front of me.

Sleeper bus - woke up a few times but before I knew it we arrived and the bus turned off, so overall slept well and woke up in a new city. Website said section D1 but there was nothing like that. Just assigned a top level, but moved to the back and it was fine.

Die Kabinen sind komfortabel. Eine kleine Flasche Wasser ist in jeder Kabine. Es gibt eine Toilette und kurze Pausen werden auch gemacht. Wir kamen 1 Std. später an als angegeben. Nettes Personal. Zu empfehlen.

It was very pleasant and comfortable to travel on this bus. There was also a toilet on board. The only thing that bothered us was that we didn't get any information in advance that we were driven from the pickup point to the right bus in a van for 2 hours. The bus was not on time at the destination, but with the heavy traffic and the long journey from Saigon to Nha Trang (approx. 12 hours) it is also difficult to estimate and we had already expected this. You also had the option of getting off earlier if it suited your own plans better. We would use the bus again at any time.

The bus was very comfortable, but it was a pity that the driver drove like a madman and honked his horn every 30 seconds... how can you sleep in such a hubbub? It's a night bus, which means what it means, please stop honking and let people sleep. What's more, we arrived 1h30 early, at 5h30 instead of 7h.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
