Questions about this tour
About 30 km, a 45-minute drive on the coastal road. This tour picks you up at your Hoi An hotel and returns you there, so you can see Da Nang’s highlights without changing accommodation.
The classic route is around 150 steps up to the viewpoint and cave pagodas, taking 20–30 minutes at a slow pace. An elevator covers most of the climb for those who prefer it (small separate ticket, about 15,000 VND), and the caves themselves are cool and shaded.
A 67-metre statue of the Goddess of Mercy (Quan Am) — the tallest sea-facing Buddha statue in Vietnam — standing on the Son Tra peninsula. Local fishermen pray here for safe voyages, and the courtyard is lined with nearly 200 arhat statues.
Yes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, when the Dragon Bridge breathes fire and water at 9 PM. Book the 1:00 PM departure and we reorder the day to end at the bridge — otherwise the market and bridge are a quick photo stop on the way home.
