Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview

Why this trip

  • My Son in the afternoon, when the morning tour groups have gone and the light on the red brick is softer.
  • About two hours with your guide among the Cham temples, with an Apsara dance performance.
  • You leave the valley by boat and drift down the Thu Bon River towards Hoi An as the sun goes down.
  • A banh mi on board keeps you going until dinner in town.

An honest note: the afternoon is the hottest part of the day in the valley, and in the wet season from October to December rain can take the colour out of the sunset. Food is a banh mi, not a meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for planning this trip with Ava Travel.

Yes. The entrance ticket is inside the price, so there is nothing to pay at the gate.
Yes. Most people choose the Old Town and go straight on to dinner.
The morning tour includes rice paper making and a full lunch. This one is shorter, cooler light, fewer people at the temples, and a snack instead of a meal.
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.
