Why Travel by Bus in Nha Trang?

An Affordable, Sustainable Way to Explore

Nha Trang, located in Nha Trang Ward, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, is a coastal gem 440 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, attracting millions of visitors annually for its 507 km² bay and attractions like Tran Phu Beach and Po Nagar Cham Towers. Buses offer a budget-friendly, eco-conscious way to explore, with fares ranging from $0.30–$4 (7,000–100,000 VND) for city and regional routes. Operating in a tropical savanna climate (dry season: January–August, 22–30°C or 71.6–86°F; rainy season: September–December, 24–28°C or 75.2–82.4°F), Nha Trang’s bus network, featuring hybrid and electric vehicles, aligns with Khanh Hoa’s Green Transformation Project (2024–2030). Legend Travel Group’s sustainable tours complement bus travel with guided, low-impact adventures. Contact us at WhatsApp: +84825862222 or email: sales@legendtravelgroup.com to book your Nha Trang bus adventure!

Administrative Note

Ninh Thuan Province has merged into Khanh Hoa Province, with Nha Trang city reclassified as Nha Trang Ward. For global tourists, “Nha Trang” remains the key term. Use “Nha Trang Ward, Khanh Hoa” in navigation apps for accuracy.
