Golden Bridge & Ba Na Hills from Chan May Port: Private car tour

Walk the Golden Bridge and ride cable cars through Ba Na's mountain peaks

This private car tour from Chan May Port takes you to Ba Na Hills, where you ride a cable car to the mountain summit, walk across the Golden Bridge (150 meters long with eight stone arches), and visit French colonial villas, an ancient wine cellar and Linh Ung Pagoda. A professional driver picks you up at the port and handles the full route. The day runs start to finish without arranging transport or navigation yourself.

The experience

Your driver meets you at Chan May Port and drives directly to Ba Na Hills. Along the way, you stop at Vong Nguyet hills and Linh Ung Pagoda to break up the ride. Once at the cable car station, you board for the ascent: the views shift as you climb, and the scenery changes enough that most travelers photograph the ride itself. The cable car deposits you at Nui Chua Mountain, the summit of the Ba Na range.

From there, the day splits between walking and exploring. You cross the Golden Bridge, which spans nearly 150 meters and is built with eight stone arches, the longest reaching 21.2 meters. It's designed wide enough (12.8 meters) that crowds don't bottleneck, and the foggy mountain air often frames it differently depending on the hour. You also ride the funicular train (the first and only one in Vietnam) down into the mountain, visit the Debay Ancient Wine Cellar left from the French colonial era, walk through Le Jardin D'amour flower garden, and stop at Nginh Phong top and Le Nim Villas. Linh Ung Pagoda appears again at the summit, offering a different angle than the lower stop.

The return follows the same route: cable car down, then your driver takes you back to Chan May Port. The full day is structured around the cable car schedule and the mountain's opening hours, so timing is set. You travel in a modern, air-conditioned car with a professional driver. Mineral water is provided, and parking fees are covered. Bring comfortable walking shoes: the bridge and pagoda involve some walking, but the terrain suits all fitness levels.

Is this one for you?The full-day structure means you leave the port in the morning and return by evening, which works if your ship stays in port that long. Confirm your departure time before booking. If you have only a few hours between port calls, this tour will not fit. A shorter excursion to nearby attractions would be a better match.
