Nui Than Tai is a hot-springs and water-park outing in the hills outside Da Nang. It suits visitors who want pools and leisure facilities in one place, with a choice of admission and add-on packages. Allow most of a day if you want both bathing and the water park; check the specific package rather than assuming every attraction, meal and treatment is included.

What kind of experience to expect
This is a developed leisure park, not an undeveloped hot spring reached by hiking. The operator promotes mineral-water bathing, an onsen area, water-play facilities, dinosaur displays and the Than Tai temple. Choose the features that matter to your group before comparing tickets.
Families seeking an active pool day and adults seeking a quieter bathing session may prefer different areas and packages. Spa and “detox” product names are marketing descriptions, not evidence that a visit treats an illness or removes toxins.
Tickets and packages
Da Nang’s tourism portal published a 2026 reference price of 490,000 VND per person for the standard package and 755,000 VND for Tich Loc with lunch. Its notice describes the standard offer as including several bathing facilities, the water park and selected entertainment. These are published references, not a live booking quote.
The same notice bases child pricing on height: under 1 metre free, from 1 metre to under 1.4 metres at half the adult rate, and 1.4 metres or taller at the adult rate. Recheck the category and any promotion for your travel date at the official booking page.
What to check before paying
- The date and arrival-time restrictions, especially for afternoon products.
- Whether lunch is a buffet or set menu and its serving window.
- Which baths, massage sessions and private facilities are extra.
- Lockers, towels, deposits and any rental charges.
- Attraction closures, height restrictions and weather cancellation terms.
Getting there and back
Arrange a car, taxi or a package transfer from Da Nang, using the park’s official map pin. The journey is inland, so do not treat it as a quick stop along the coastal route to Hoi An. Ask the driver for a realistic travel time from your accommodation and agree the return pickup before entering.
If a tour includes transport, check whether it is shared or private and whether the departure time leaves enough time for your chosen package. Keep the driver’s contact details offline. Do not rely on an unconfirmed last-minute ride from the park.
A practical day plan
On arrival, check the map and operating notices before changing. Choose one priority activity first, leaving the hottest outdoor walking for a cooler part of the day where possible. Build in a lunch break and time to dry off, change and collect belongings before the return transfer.
For a shorter visit, choose either bathing with a relaxed meal or a more active water-park session. Trying to fit every advertised facility into a few hours can leave less time for the things you actually booked.
Bathing, pool rules and children
Follow the posted bathing instructions and staff directions for each area. Different pools and slides can have different height, age, clothing and supervision requirements. An admission ticket does not mean that every ride suits every child.
Keep children under direct adult supervision, walk carefully on wet surfaces and use suitable footwear where permitted. Treat hot-water areas separately from ordinary swimming pools. If you have concerns about whether hot bathing is suitable for you, obtain personal advice before booking rather than relying on a tourism description.
Check the operator’s rules about food brought from outside, swimwear and photography in bathing areas. Do not assume rules are identical across the park or that an older travel blog still reflects current policy.
What to bring and accessibility
Pack swimwear, dry clothes, sun protection, a waterproof pouch and any personal essentials. Confirm whether your ticket includes towels and toiletries before carrying unnecessary items. Keep valuables secure and allow time for locker collection at the end.
The site covers a substantial outdoor area. If someone in your group uses a wheelchair or has limited mobility, ask for the current step-free route, internal transport arrangements, changing facilities and pool-entry options. Road access to the park does not establish access to every pool.
Compare the full day, not just the entrance price
Make a short list of your group’s non-negotiables before comparing packages. For example, a family might prioritise water play, lunch and enough time to change before the transfer; a couple might prefer a quieter bathing session and a meal without additional treatments. Ask the seller to match the package to those priorities in writing. A longer list of included attractions is not automatically better value if you will not use them.
Build your comparison around admission, return transport, food, required rentals and optional extras. Keep deposits separate from expenses because they may be returned under stated conditions. If the package is sold by an agent, clarify who handles a date change or a closed attraction: the agent, the park or the transport provider. Save the booking description so you can check it at arrival without relying on a verbal promise.
Two realistic approaches to the day
A family water-play day
Start by checking which activities suit each child’s height and confidence, then choose a small number of priorities. Arrange meals and changing time around those activities. If one child cannot use a particular slide, decide whether the adults will split up or the group will move on together. This avoids discovering halfway through the visit that the advertised package works for only part of the family.
A bathing-focused visit
Ask which bathing areas your ticket includes and whether you need to reserve a session. Leave gaps between activities for changing and rest instead of booking every optional service back to back. If the terms do not clearly distinguish a shared bath from a private facility, resolve that before paying. Follow each area’s posted duration and bathing instructions rather than treating the whole visit as one continuous soak.
Choose between Nui Than Tai and another major outing
Nui Than Tai and Ba Na Hills both require a deliberate allocation of transport and activity time. Choose the hot-springs park for bathing and water-based leisure, and Ba Na for the cable-car sightseeing experience described in its separate guide. Trying to fit both into the same day gives you less control over queues, changing time and return transport. If your group wants different things, putting them on separate days is easier to plan.
Before an important onward journey, ask what happens if your transfer is delayed and leave a generous gap. A booking that technically finishes before your train or flight can still be a poor fit once showering, bag collection and the journey to the station or airport are included. Confirm these arrangements before committing to a non-refundable package.
Frequently asked questions
Is Nui Than Tai the same as Ba Na Hills?
No. Nui Than Tai focuses on bathing and water-based leisure. Ba Na Hills is a separate cable-car and sightseeing complex.
Can I visit on a rainy day?
Only after checking current operating conditions. Rain or storms can affect outdoor facilities and transport; do not assume warm pools make the whole park weather-proof.
Does the basic ticket include lunch or every treatment?
Do not assume so. Compare the named package’s inclusions and the separate prices before purchasing.
