Nha Trang is about 220 km from Quy Nhơn via National Highway 1, taking 4 to 4 hours 30. Since the Đèo Cả tunnel and Cù Mông tunnel were built, vehicles no longer have to climb the steepest passes on this stretch, making the journey both faster and much smoother than before.
How many km from Nha Trang to Quy Nhơn and how long does it take?
- Distance: about 220 km — nearly 125 km to Tuy Hoà (Phú Yên), then another about 95 km to Quy Nhơn.
- Duration: 4 to 4 hours 30 by coach.
- Route: Nha Trang → Ninh Hoà → Vạn Ninh → Đèo Cả tunnel → Tuy Hoà → Sông Cầu → Cù Mông tunnel → Quy Nhơn.
- Old passes: Đèo Cả and Đèo Cù Mông still have roads, but all coaches use the tunnels.

Where can you stop on a private car trip?
This route passes through Phú Yên — a province with many beautiful sights that travelers often overlook. If traveling by private car, the two most worthwhile stops are the old Đèo Cả pass, where the road runs above the emerald Vũng Rô bay, and Gành Đá Đĩa north of Tuy Hoà, a basalt rock formation stacked like giant piles of plates. Visiting both adds about 2–3 hours to the itinerary.
Tips for this route
An early morning trip arrives in Quy Nhơn before noon, in time to check in and head to Quy Nhơn beach or Kỳ Co in the afternoon. From October to December, the central region enters the rainy and stormy season, and the Phú Yên – Bình Định stretch may experience localized flooding; if traveling during this time, check the weather forecast a day or two in advance.
