Ba Na Hills Ticketing Guide (KKday Review)
There are several ways to book Ba Na Hills tickets:
- Online platforms: KKday / Klook
- On-site purchase at the ticket counter
My Booking Choice
I booked through KKday:
- Ticket: Cable car + rides included
- Option: Four Seasons Restaurant buffet
- Price: ~88,000 KRW per person
👉 This choice has both pros and cons, especially if you plan to stay overnight.
Morning vs Afternoon Entry
- From 8:00 AM, ticket lines and cable car queues are very long
- Since we had a hotel stay, we chose a late entry
👉 Result:
- Arrived around 12:50 PM
- Almost no waiting line
- Reached Toc Tien station in ~20 minutes
Route (Direct Hotel Access)
Ticket Counter
→ (Walk ~20 min / up to 2 hours if crowded)
→ Toc Tien Station (Cable Car)
→ L’Indochine Station
→ Mercure Ba Na Hills Hotel
👉 No Golden Bridge stop on this route
Buffet Location (Important)
The Four Seasons Buffet is located:
- Near Bordeaux Station
- About 150m from Mercure Hotel
- Inside the cable car station building (Golden Bridge route)
⚠️ Real Problem We Faced
After check-in:
- It was hard to find the buffet location
- Google Maps did not work properly (mountain area)
- We got lost for ~30 minutes
👉 Result:
- Missed buffet (entry closes at 3:00 PM)
- Lost the meal we paid for 😢
When Buffet Ticket is Worth It
✔ If you:
- Enter early in the morning
- Plan to visit Golden Bridge first
- Want to avoid expensive food on top
👉 Then:
Pre-booked ticket + buffet = good choice
When You Should Skip Buffet
❌ If you:
- Go directly to hotel for check-in
- Arrive late
- Are unfamiliar with Ba Na Hills layout
👉 Then:
Skip the buffet option
Final Tip
- Morning entry = long wait but easier planning
- Afternoon entry = no wait but tricky navigation
👉 Choose based on your travel style
Conclusion
Booking tickets in advance can save time,
but add-ons like buffet require careful planning.
👉 Especially with kids or elderly,
👉 simple routes and timing matter more than saving money.
