Nha Trang Taxis & Grab

Food & Getting Around · 20 / 23

For getting around Nha Trang, the Grab app (cars and motorbikes) is the easiest and most transparent. For metered taxis, choose reputable companies such as Mai Linh or Vinasun. Sort out only the airport–course–Hon Tre legs in advance and the whole trip flows smoothly.

Main ways to get around

The simplest local choice is Grab. The destination and fare show in the app, and you can pay by card or cash, so there's no haggling. For short hops, GrabBike (motorbike taxi) is fast and cheap. If the app is tricky, ask the hotel front desk to call a Mai Linh or Vinasun metered taxi.

Grab (recommended)

Fixed in-app fare means no haggling. Both GrabCar and GrabBike available. With golf bags, a regular taxi or transfer is better.

Metered taxis

Choose reputable firms like Mai Linh or Vinasun. Make sure the meter runs when you board, and pick cars with proper logos and phone numbers.

When you have golf bagsWith two or more golf bags, a standard Grab car can't fit them in the boot. On golf days, pre-booking a roomy SUV/van transfer is the surest option. Check whether your package already includes golf-course transfers.

Getting to Hon Tre IslandHon Tre Island (Vinpearl/VinWonders) isn't connected by ordinary road. You enter by the ~3.3 km bay-crossing sea cable car (world's longest class) or speedboat (~7 min). When booking golf or the theme park, confirm the island-access method and timing.
