Every tour, hour by hour
These are the days I run most often. Open any of them to see exactly where we go, what time we arrive and what is included — then change anything you like.
Da Nang City Tour
Marble Mountains and its cave pagoda, the Lady Buddha above the bay, and My Khe Beach at golden hour.
- Huyen Khong Cave — daylight falling through holes in the roof onto a stone Buddha
- The 67-metre Lady Buddha at Linh Ung Pagoda, with the whole bay below
Hoi An Ancient Town
Basket boats in the coconut palms, the Japanese Bridge, and the old town once the lanterns come on.
- A round bamboo basket boat through the water-coconut palms at Cam Thanh
- The Japanese Covered Bridge, built in the 1590s and printed on the 20,000₫ note
Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge
The first cable car of the day, the Golden Bridge before the crowds, and a French village at 1,400 metres.
- The Golden Bridge — 150 metres of walkway held up by two giant weathered hands
- A Guinness-record cable car: 5,801 metres in one unbroken span, 17–25 minutes over the forest
Hai Van Pass & Lang Co
The coastal pass Top Gear made famous, the restored summit gate, and oyster farms on Lap An lagoon.
- Twenty-one kilometres of switchbacks with the sea below you the whole way
- Hai Van Quan, the Nguyen dynasty summit gate, restored and reopened in 2024
Hue Imperial City
Over the Hai Van Pass to the Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda and the mosaic tomb of Khai Dinh.
- The Imperial Citadel and the ruins of the Forbidden Purple City
- Thien Mu Pagoda, and the car that carried Thich Quang Duc to Saigon in 1963
My Son Sanctuary
Thousand-year-old Cham brick towers in a jungle valley, reached early while it is still cool and quiet.
- Cham towers standing a thousand years later with no mortar between the bricks
- Groups B, C and D — the best preserved, and the site museum
Da Nang Street Food Tour
Five or six places with no English menu outside — banh xeo, mi quang, fish-cake soup and salt coffee.
- Banh xeo and nem lui, wrapped at the table with a mountain of herbs
- Mi quang — the turmeric noodle dish this region argues about
Custom Tour — you decide
Tell me what you actually want to see and I will build the day, or the week, around it.
- Built around what you actually want, not a fixed route
- As slow or as full as you like — including doing very little
None of these quite right?
Tell me what you actually want to see and I will build the day around it. That is usually the best day of all.
