From Nha Trang, is a bus day trip worth it if the drive is about 6 hours each way, or is it better to fly?
Based on 3 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
If the destination is around 6 hours away one way, a bus excursion from Nha Trang is usually too exhausting because you can spend up to 12 hours on the road in a single day. For that distance, travelers recommend either flying round-trip or, if going overland, using a luxury seated bus instead of a sleeper bus.

If the trip is part of a package tour, expect queues: package tourists make up a very large share, around 90%, so boarding and organization often happen through a general line.
