Spending an amazing time in Phu Yen with the beach and sunshine, you may think about where to head to next. Hoi An would be a great choice for a cultural experience. So don’t be hesitant to book a Phu Yen To Hoi An Private Car trip with Saigon Locals. We offer door-to-door service, flexible schedules, comfy seats, and stunning sightseeing along the way.
Phu Yen To Hoi An Distance
The route from Phu Yen to Hoi An covers approximately 400 km (250 miles). Travel time is at least 7 hours up north by National Route 1A (QL1A). Depending on the time we stop for sightseeing and traffic conditions, the actual time could run a bit longer.
There are some main options to reach Hoi An from Phu Yen; we can have a look:
By Train
It is an affordable option for solo travelers with spare time who are used to walking distances. But you can’t get a direct train into Hoi An, so you have to take a taxi to Tuy Hoa Station, and then another from Tra Kieu or Da Nang Station to your hotel, which adds to both the expense and the hassle.
By Sleeper Bus
This option is great for backpackers who want to get a good rest on the bus and cover the distance on a budget. However, departures are fixed, you have to follow them, and you will probably still need a taxi to and from the bus station.
By Private Car
It’s the recommended choice for this route for a few reasons: Door-to-door pickup and drop-off mean no extra taxis or station transfers, and you set your own departure time with room to add stops like Gành Đá Đĩa or the Sa Huynh coast.

Recommended Stops
Instead of suffering 7-8 h inside, we recommend some stops that you can plan with your team and let us know about in advance:
Ganh Da Dia (Da Dia Reef)
This rare geological wonder is one of a kind in the world. Tightly packed hexagonal basalt columns rise along the coast like a giant honeycomb. It’s recognized as a special national heritage site and one of the region’s most iconic landmarks, a stop you simply can’t skip, perfect for breathing in the sea breeze and snapping a few photos.
Mang Lang Church
It’s one of Vietnam’s oldest churches, home to the first printed national script book (chữ quốc ngữ). It was written by Father Alexandre de Rhodes, the missionary who laid the foundation for modern Vietnamese. On top of that, you can step into the small grotto-like chamber built into the churchyard to view a reprint of the historic book up close, along with carvings that tell the story of the local martyr Andrew of Phu Yen.
Sa Huynh Salt Fields
Right along National Highway 1A, you’ll easily spot the Sa Huynh salt fields, just a short distance from the beautiful beach. Slow down for a moment to watch the salt fields drying in the sun, a small glimpse into the local amount of work involved in this trade. Then walk along and enjoy the sea breeze before continuing to Hoi An.
My Lai Massacre (Son My Vestige Area)
If you’re a history nerd, we bet you can’t ignore this place—the My Lai Massacre. This site preserves the memory of one of the most significant events of the Vietnam War. It sits conveniently close to QL1A, making it an easy addition to the route. Visitors can walk through the memorial grounds and exhibits to learn about its history.
