Where Will My Driver Pick Me Up at Chan May Port?
This is one of the most important things to arrange before a cruise excursion.
The exact pickup procedure can depend on your cruise ship and current port regulations. For this reason, we do not simply tell you to “meet at the port” and leave you to find the car yourself.
Standard pickup
For the standard option, you will meet your driver at the designated pickup point outside the port area. Your driver will hold a welcome board with the lead passenger’s name so you can identify the car easily.
Before your cruise arrives, we will send you the meeting instructions and confirm where the driver will be waiting.
How Long Does Chan May Port to Ba Na Hills Take?
The drive from Chan May Port to Ba Na Hills normally takes around 1.5–2 hours each way, depending on traffic, weather and road conditions.
For a cruise-day visit, allow enough time for the round-trip journey, the cable car and around 3–4 hours at Ba Na Hills. Your return time will be planned around your cruise departure.

How We Plan Your Return to the Cruise Ship
For cruise passengers, getting back to the ship on time is more important than adding one more sightseeing stop.
When you book, please send us:
- Cruise ship name
- Arrival time
- Departure time
- Number of passengers
- Preferred pickup option
We use this information to plan the day.
If your ship arrives later than expected, or if you have less time than originally planned, we can reduce or remove optional stops such as Lap An Lagoon or Hai Van Pass.
Ba Na Hills comes first, and the return to Chan May Port is planned around your ship’s departure time.
We recommend returning to the port with a reasonable buffer rather than staying at Ba Na Hills until the last possible minute.
Private Car or Group Shore Excursion?
A private car is useful if you do not want to follow a fixed group itinerary.
With a private vehicle:
- Your group travels together.
- There are no unrelated passengers in your car.
- You can request short photo or restroom stops.
- The driver can adjust the route if your cruise schedule changes.
- You do not need to wait for other tourists.
- You can spend more or less time at individual stops, subject to your ship’s departure time.
This is a private transportation service, not a guided tour.
Your driver handles the driving, waiting and basic communication. He does not accompany you inside Ba Na Hills as a professional tour guide.
If you want detailed information about the attractions, an English-speaking tour guide can be arranged separately.
