Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview

Why this trip

  • An afternoon and evening out of Da Nang, stopping at the Marble Mountains on the way to Hoi An.
  • You climb to the pagodas and caves inside the mountain and see the stone carvers at work.
  • Then the Hoi An Old Town with your guide: the assembly halls, an old merchant house and the Japanese Covered Bridge.
  • The night market, dinner and a lantern set on the Hoai River before the drive back.

An honest note: the Marble Mountains are around 280 steps unless you pay for the lift on the first part, and the Old Town is busy at lantern time most evenings.
