Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview
Why this trip
- Hoi An at the two times of day when the light is soft, at sunrise or at sunset, you choose.
- The river front, the fishing boats and the old streets before the crowds or as the lanterns come on.
- A guide who knows where to stand and what time the light reaches each spot.
- Private, so you can stay at a view as long as you like.
An honest note: the sunrise version starts very early, and on cloudy days the sky may not give you the colour you came for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning this trip with Ava Travel.
No. A phone is fine, and the guide can help you get the most from it.
Sunrise for empty streets and the market, sunset for lanterns and more life.
Talk to us the day before. Light rain can make good pictures, heavy rain is a reason to move the date.
The group price is per person. The private price is the total for your party and the table on this page shows it for every group size. Prices are in US dollars and include taxes and service charges, and there is no booking fee or card surcharge, so the total at checkout is the total you pay.
Within one hour. We come back to you with the pickup time, the meeting point and your guide, and tell you what to bring.
More than 30 days before departure costs nothing. From 30 to 11 days we keep 15 per cent, from 10 to 7 days 30 per cent, and inside 7 days or a no-show is charged in full. Changing your date counts as a cancellation and a new booking. If we cancel, or weather makes the tour unsafe, we move your date at no cost or refund you in full.
