Enjoyable and convenient but not a must
This was a comfortable way to get from De Nang to Hua but tbh we expected more spectacular views (maybe this is relative); thought that there would be an opportunity to stop for photos - there was one rather random stop at a station and were a bit disappointed by the community carriage. We thought that entertainment would be provided throughout - and there was some of the way but when we went back towards the end of the journey there were two rather bored looking women just on their phones and not singing or playing music.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Ma'am, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to know that you found the journey from Da Nang to Hue comfortable. However, we are truly sorry to hear that the overall experience did not fully meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize that the scenery and experience were not as spectacular as you had hoped, as well as for the lack of photo opportunities during the journey. We also understand your disappointment regarding the community carriage and the entertainment experience, especially during the return journey. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will share it with the relevant team to help improve the overall experience for future guests. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We truly appreciate your support and hope to have another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. Best regards, VM Travel Team

Very slow but scenic
This train is very slow but so very scenic. We really enjoyed the views and the glimpses into the way of life of country Vietnamese people. Very cheap trip as well… $10aud from Hue to Da Nang. 😳

Great, except for seating options
Beautiful scenery. However, one side of the train is substantially better than the other. When we booked, that was not mentioned and there was no way to select seats. Unfortunately, we were seated on the inferior side.

Absolutly Negative Experience
I booked two tickets for the Heritage Hai Van Pass train well in advance to make sure we got window seats. Despite reserving a month early, the intermediary assigned us two seats far from the window and even separated from each other. We ended up paying almost twice the official price without receiving any additional service. The intermediary later justified this by saying that other passengers had booked up to two months earlier, but the result is that—even with our early reservation—we were given the worst seats available (including seats blocked by pillars). A disappointing experience: I strongly advise against using this service. Buying the tickets on your own is definitely more convenient and reliable.
Response from the operator: Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re truly sorry that the seating arrangement did not meet your expectations, especially as you booked well in advance hoping to enjoy the window seats. 🙏 We completely understand your disappointment. During peak periods, the Heritage Hai Van Pass train can become fully booked very early, and seat availability is unfortunately controlled by the railway system. While we always try our best to secure the best available seats for our guests, we understand that this does not make the experience any less frustrating when the seats are separated or affected by pillars. We’re also sorry that you felt the price did not reflect the service you received. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will review this booking process with our team to see how we can communicate the seating situation and service inclusions more clearly before guests book. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and appreciate your honest feedback. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a much better experience. 🙏

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hue.
How much does Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hue usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hue is not rushed.
Is Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hue, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hue can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hue and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scenic Heritage Train Transfer: Hue to Da Nang or Da Nang to Hue start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hue within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hue?
+
On Outty we rank every Hue experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hue: Imperial City Walk, Motorbike Tour & Private Car Options, Hue city Deluxe Group Tour (Daily Tour-12 pax max), Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hue?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hue?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
