Enjoy One Of Vietnam’s Most Beautiful Beaches
Welcome! Your personal English speaking guide will be waiting to meet you at your arrival port, whether that is Tien Sa or Chan May Port! Once we’ve exchanged greetings, we will drive in our private, air-conditioned van along scenic Da Nang beach for an incredibly picturesque drive.
You will have plenty of time to capture your Kodak moment as we arrive at one of Vietnam’s most picturesque beaches! My Khe Beach is a 20-mile stretch of white sandy coastline and crystal water.
*Maika travellers coming from Chan May Port will have the opportunity to travel through Hai Van Pass. Nicknamed “sea clouds pass” this winding coast road offers stunning views of mountain and sea, and is an unforgettable drive!
Marble Mountain & Historic Hoi An
Our next stop is to Marble Mountain, five limestone mountains said to represent the five elements: Thuy Son (Water), Moc Son (Wood), Hoa Son (Fire), Kim Son (Metal or Gold) and Tho Son (Earth). 156 stone stairs lead to a Buddhist temple at the summit of Thuy Son. Here is the perfect stop for taking pictures of these impressive natural wonders.
Once we’ve gotten the perfect snaps, we’ll make our way back to Hoi An, a 17th-century town lingering in the 21st Century. A walking tour around the Old Quarter will take us past historic buildings and down tranquil streets. We have a lot of history to squeeze in at Hoi An, including Chinese assembly halls, family chapels, museums and of course the beautiful 18th century Japanese covered Bridge. Get ready for an afternoon full of culture, history, amazing architecture, and countless photo opportunities.
Sample Local Delicacies
Sample local specialties at lunch such as White Rose, Fried Wonton, Cao Lau Noodles, and Vietnamese Baguette. Have a break or finish the walking tour at Reaching Out Tea House to have some coffee or tea and support the staff who have hearing and speech impediments.
Finally, spend some time exploring the town and shopping to your heart’s content in this consumer paradise! Simply set a meeting time and place with your guide and they will collect you and take you back to port to get on board your cruise ship. If timing allowed, we will drive into the heart of Da Nang City and over Dragon Bridge where you can view other beautiful bridges over Han River. Unfortunately it is now time to return to your port, but no need to worry! Your guide will get you back in plenty of time for your cruise ship!
