Morning – Start your day with a tasty breakfast at the hotel—fuel up, because today you’re heading somewhere truly magical: Ba Na Hills, the mountaintop wonderland that’s captured hearts around the world.

As we drive toward the hills, the air turns cooler, the landscapes greener, and that vacation thrill really starts to kick in. But the real adventure begins when you step onto one of the world’s longest cable cars, a Guinness World Record-holder!
