Ho Tram to Nha Trang Travel Q&A
1. Where is Ho Tram?
Ho Tram is a resort strip on the coast of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province located around 120 km from Ho Chi Minh city in the direction of South China Sea coast. In contrast to Vung Tau, Ho Tram is not a city, but rather a beach strip featuring major resorts and golf clubs with The Grand Ho Tram Strip among the notable establishments. Ho Tram lacks a city center, any form of transportation facilities such as bus stations and transportation routes, thus, getting out of and into the resort area completely relies on private travel plans. Therefore, hiring a private car from Ho Tram to Nha Trang becomes a matter of necessity.
2. How far is Ho Tram from Nha Trang?
The distance covered using a private car transfer service from Ho Tram to Nha Trang through CT01 route is about 358 kilometers. This route starts from the south-central coast heading east, passing through Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, then going up through Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan provinces to reach Khanh Hoa province, specifically Nha Trang city. This route uses expressways, mostly, which helps to cover this long distance in less than five hours, even though this used to take much longer in the past.

5. How to get from Ho Tram to Nha Trang
-
Bus: There is no direct bus service between Ho Tram and Nha Trang. There are no bus services in Ho Tram. Using a bus connection will be a very difficult process involving several stages. One would first have to make their way independently to Ba Ria or even Vung Tau City before boarding a north-bound bus service that could take up to five hours altogether.
-
Self-drive: The CT01 road is a good road and driving is certainly possible. However, five hours of expressway driving is likely to lead to fatigue, especially considering the purpose of traveling to Nha Trang in the first place. Good for those confident in long-distance driving; not advisable for people with children and/or baggage.
-
Private car via Mui Ne Private Car: The driver picks you up at your resort entrance in Ho Tram. You have five hours of journey in an air-conditioned vehicle with bottled water included where you can get down wherever you wish to. Your luggage will be taken care of both ways. You reach Nha Trang and drop off directly at your hotel entrance rather than being dropped off at the transfer station, three kilometers away from the hotel.
The resort-only nature of Ho Tram makes private car transfer to Nha Trang from Ho Tram is the only solution because there cannot be any other mode of transportation available to cover such long distances from Ho Tram.

Your car will be running when he arrives; the air conditioning will be on, and the water for your seats ready.

On the Road - CT01 from Ho Tram to Nha Trang
The stretch between Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Khanh Hoa, known as CT01, is perhaps one of the most varied sections of Vietnam’s expressway network. It begins in the lowlands around Ba Ria before rising briefly up over the foothills of Binh Thuan province and opening up onto the long, arid coastal valleys of Ninh Thuan, which provide a true alternative to Vietnam that few tourists ever see. Finally, just prior to reaching Nha Trang, the road descends again out onto the coast and offers its first glimpse of Khanh Hoa’s bay. Traveling for five hours along this road is worth the effort. Your driver keeps up the expressway speed throughout, although your first hour at each stop is included free of charge. Additional waiting times: 100,000 VND (~$5 USD) per hour.

Arrival in Nha Trang
Your driver delivers you to the entrance of your hotel, resort, or any address in Nha Trang city. Luggage is unloaded at the door. Before leaving, your driver does a thorough check of the vehicle interior - after five hours, things migrate: phone slipped between the seats, earphones in the door pocket, passport tucked into the seat back. This check takes thirty seconds and has prevented a lot of avoidable problems. If a 50% deposit was made at booking, the remaining balance is settled here in cash to the driver, or via PayPal, bank transfer, or credit card. Your driver says goodbye and heads off.
Note: Hotels in Nha Trang are all located along Tran Phu Street, and other streets leading to the coast from Tran Phu Street. If you stay in the northern area of the city or even somewhere far away from the city center, let this be known beforehand when booking.
II. Ho Tram to Cam Ranh Airport (CXR)
The Cam Ranh International Airport (IATA: CXR) is about 35 kilometers south of the city center of Nha Trang. This means that a private vehicle transfer from Ho Tram to the Cam Ranh Airport is direct without passing through the city. In fact, taking the journey from the airport from Ho Tram is a better option in terms of time predictability and lesser traffic. It should be noted that the distance between Ho Tram to the airport is slightly shorter than to the city center.
What to Provide at Booking
-
Full name as shown on passport or boarding pass
-
Flight number and departure time

Domestic or international flight (Cam Ranh has separate terminals)

Note: The Cam Ranh Airport has two terminals for domestic and international passengers, with separate entry points. It’s recommended to check the terminal where your flight lands when making the reservation to avoid any hassles while arriving.
III. Nha Trang to Ho Tram (Return Transfer)

Nha Trang Travel Guide
Best Time to Visit
The dry season in Nha Trang lasts from January until August, with calm seas and reliable sunshine that are ideal for exploring the waters by snorkeling or visiting the islands via ferry. During the wet season between September and December, afternoon showers and strong waves force cancellations in boat trips to the islands and make lounging at the beach unpredictable. Compared to Vung Tau or Ho Tram, Nha Trang’s high season period falls within June to August when domestic tourists flock to coastal destinations, although mid-week stays will help one sidestep crowded weekends.
What to See in Nha Trang
-
Nha Trang Beach and Tran Phu Boulevard - A seven kilometer stretch of beaches lining the shoreline, with hotels and restaurants lining up along the Tran Phu street. The beach is most lively at the northern side, around the Sailing Club, while the southern part is more tranquil, close to the ferry port. Morning sees the beach being enjoyed by locals who come to swim and jog. But by lunchtime, it's full of Vietnamese holidaymakers. The best time for walking and photography is an hour after sunrise.
-
Hon Mun Marine Protected Area - A dive and snorkeling destination close to shore, just about ten kilometers out from the city in the bay. It boasts some of the healthiest coral reefs on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. Snorkel tours depart from the pier twice daily, while island tours that incorporate Hon Mun usually last a whole day to visit many islands. Visibility is best during the dry season, between March and May.
-
Po Nagar Cham Towers - An ancient Cham temple site dating back over a thousand years, located on the hill overlooking the confluence of the river with the sea near the north end of town. The four existing towers continue to function as living temples today. The scenery from the hill, which features the mouth of the river and boats on the water, is one of the unique aspects of Nha Trang that no visitor fails to see, despite not knowing what to expect beforehand. Best to visit early in the day before the tour groups descend upon it.
-
Dam Market and the streets behind it - Located in the center of the city, the largest market where various foods including seafood, fish sauce, highland coffee, and fabrics are sold. Serves more purpose as a local shopping destination rather than a sightseeing destination for tourists. In actuality, what makes it special are the roads around it, especially during the evening when various food stalls come up along the river and the alleys around Cho Dam for dishes like jellyfish noodles, banh canh cha ca, and grilled seafood at prices way cheaper than anywhere else in Tran Phu.
