Travel Like a Local: Pro Tips to Save Time & Money
Book Early for the Best Deals
Bus prices vary, too, just like flights, especially for in-demand itineraries or around weekends or holidays: from Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh City or for getting back from up in the north. Plan and book a seat with the same company at least 3-5 days before departure for lower bus fares, especially if you are traveling from larger stations (Nha Trang Southern Bus Station or the central bus station in Nha Trang).
- Prices are often lower on weekdays than on weekends.
- Night buses tend to have cheaper fares than day trips.
- Compare deals by booking through platforms like Vexere, Vexere, Redbus, or official sites for companies like Phuong Trang.
Choose the Right Seat Like a Pro
Avoiding motion sickness? Fancy taking in the sights as you ride from the verdant outskirts of the city of Nha Trang or coast down to Cam Ranh?
Here’s your cheat sheet for flinging your seat:
- Optimal seats: Lower bunk, middle row (mitigates bounce, for a smoother ride)
- Avoid: Rear corners (bouncy) and upper bunks if you’re prone to dizziness
- Beautiful coastal views on the right side (especially on the Nha Trang to Da Nang route)
Luggage Hacks & Rules
At most bus stations one is a hand luggage and one is checked luggage (20kg limit) but the Nha Trang Southern Bus Station was a pain in the ass, they wouldn’t even let us store our hand luggage in the cargo hold. However, it’s smart to:
- Label your bags clearly
- Keep documents and valuables on your person at all times
- Pack cubes or small duffels to save room, particularly if you’re hopping off at smaller stops like Le Hong Phong or near Hung Vuong.
City bus route to Dam Market and other city travelers: Choose a smaller bag to not disturb others in the narrow aisles.
Night Buses: Yes or No?
Taking a night bus from Nha Trang Bus Station is either a blessing or a curse, depending on your preferred travel style.
Pros:
- Save on hotel costs
- Improved availability on routes, including Da Lat to Nha Trang and Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh
- Get there early to avoid the crush
Cons:
- Sleep quality is variable (bring a neck pillow and earplugs!)
- Night sees the opening of fewer rest stops
- Visibility is poor, so if you come for the view, daytime might be preferable
