The experience

The minivan picks you up at your hotel and takes you straight to Ba Na Hills, where you ride cable cars up the mountain. Once there, you walk the Golden Bridge (the structure with the giant stone hands that made it famous), then move through the French Village at your own speed. The route also passes the France wine cellar, Le Jardin D'amour with its nine gardens, and several temples and shrines. Because it's just your group in the minivan with one guide, there's no waiting for others to board or move between stops.

Lunch is yours to arrange when you're hungry, and the tour includes access to Fantasy Park if you want it: the Dinosaur Park, 5D cinema, Freefall Tower, Jurassic Park and over 90 free games are all there. The Slide of Tube Car ride is free to try. You can skip any of it and spend more time at the Golden Bridge or exploring the temples instead. Your guide speaks English and knows the sites well enough to answer questions as you go.

The cable car rides up and down the mountain are included in the tour price. You'll return to your hotel at the end of the day, with the exact finish time depending on how much time you spent at each stop. The minivan is air-conditioned and modern, and the driver is professional.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Golden Bridge and why is it worth seeing on this tour?

The Golden Bridge is a pedestrian walkway on Ba Na Hills famous for its design: two giant stone hands appear to hold up the bridge itself. It's one of the most photographed spots in Vietnam and the tour gives you as much time there as you want instead of a set window.

Can I choose what to do at Ba Na Hills, or is the itinerary fixed?

You choose how long to spend at each site. The Golden Bridge, French Village, temples and Fantasy Park are all available, but your guide works with your interests. If you want to skip the rides and focus on the architecture and gardens, that's your call.

Does the tour price include lunch?

Lunch is your choice on this tour. You can eat when and where you want during the day, and your guide can suggest options. The tour includes cable cars, the minivan, the guide and hotel pickup and return.

How long does this tour actually take?

The tour runs between 6 and 8 hours depending on how much time you spend at each stop and whether you visit Fantasy Park. Your guide will work with you on the timing so you're back at your hotel when you want to be.

Is there a choice between tours with and without cable cars?

Yes. You can book the tour with cable cars included in the price, or without them. If you skip the cable cars, you won't reach the upper sites like the French Village and temples. Most visitors choose the cable car option to see the full mountain.

Who is this tour not suitable for?

The tour involves cable cars and walking at elevation, so it's not recommended for travelers afraid of heights or with poor cardiovascular health. It's wheelchair accessible and suitable for all other fitness levels. The minimum age is 12.
