Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh City Destination Reviews

Great ride, great seats, good clenliness. 30 mins stop over for dinner just before an hour of destination can be avoided.

We were expecting to arrive from Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh at 7:30, however we had arrived at 5:30. I understand that the estimated time of arrival is based on the service provider's experience, however being 2 hours earlier seems to be a bit too much. We have taken a lot of sleeping vehicles during the night, and this one has been the least comfortable we had taken in SE Asia. So we are not that satisfied about our experience.

Good bus. Left a little early after making sure everyone was on the bus. The seat numbers are confusing as they had arrows next to the seat number pointing towards the wrong seat. This caused some confusion as someone couldn’t find their seat to end up realizing I was in theirs and then I had to get up and change after being settled in for several minutes. Just ignore the arrows and go into the seat closest to the number you’re given. WiFi was good and water was given. AC was weak so I was slightly uncomfortable the whole night. Rest stop about every hour so you don’t have to worry too much about there not being a restroom on board. Three seats per row so not as spacious as sleeper buses with only two per row. Got to the HCMC in about 6 hours which was 1.5 hours earlier than scheduled. I didn’t mind but don’t expect to sleep for 7 hours on board if you’re traveling from Nha Trang to Saigon.

The bus I booked was full so I had to change my departure time to a different bus. When we got to the outskirts of HCMC we then had to change buses.

Three rows of seats is uncomfortable, not only the seats are supertight, also the space to move back & forth is. The operator service was bad in terms of changing my reservation to departure 3 hrs later. On the other hand I had trouble in contacting my hotel.and the operator has been a great help in establishing the contact.

I’m so happy I booked this! I wanted to change my ticket for an earlier one and despite the last minute request via WhatsApp the night before the company was very reactive and changed my ticket free of charge! Besides, the bus was clean, comfortable and spacious. The ride was smooth and there were proper announcements before stops. The big bus won’t enter the city, so they transfer you to a mini bus that is a bit more cramped but it’s just for a few minutes. Also, traffic was good so we arrived 1 or 2 holes earlier which I was hoping for!

Positives: the driving was quite smooth and on time, the main bus was clean, the single cabins were big enough, the AC worked well and the toilet stop after 4 hours was appreciated. Negatives: there was no working tap in the bus toilet, so it was impossible to wash our hands. The transfer shuttle was too small and overfilled with people and luggage. As a result, the transfer was very uncomfortable, especially hot and humid as well. Not enough water provided on the main bus (one small 350 ml bottle of water each) for a 7 hr drive. Snacks were inadequate and unhealthy - 2 small cake bars per person.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
