Da Nang Day Trips: Guide to Best Day Tours From Da Nang

Centre and outskirts of Da Nang have incredible attractions where travellers need to spend many hours to get to and fully explore. There are the Ba Na Hills and Golden Bridge on its slope, Hoi An Old Town and its attractions, the Marble Mountains, Son Tra Peninsula with the Lady Buddha and Linh Ung Pagoda by its coast or My Son Sanctuary.

On the other hand, this day tour provides chances to be closer to nature. That is a walk around a valley with many forests and a hiking up to peaks coupled with cave explorations.

Best Tours In Da Nang.

1. ba na hills with golden bridge private tour. dacotours..

⭐️  RATING: 5/5 Stars – From 306 reviews! | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  Day Tour ✅  Book it!

One of Da Nang’s most majestic attractions is Golden Bridge, an architectural masterpiece that instantly became a global landmark the moment it was unveiled. Sitting high up in the mountains behind the coastal city, the iconic structure consists of two colossal God-like stone hands emerging from the landscape , holding a pathway and offering visitors unforgettable panoramic views back towards the city and coastline.

While the bridge by itself is magnificent to behold, SunWorld Ba Na Hills , the theme park it is a part of, doesn’t do anything ordinarily. Getting to it involves riding the world’s longest non-stop single-track cable car , a gorgeous trip taking passengers 5.8km from the lowlands high into the mountains and traversing over dense jungles and cascading waterfalls. And it’s only one of six. But that’s not all.

The beloved place is uniquely set in an enchantingly authentic French Village , complete with classic architecture, gardens, and fountains, including churches, castles, statues and more that feels remarkably like you’ve been transported to the breathtaking European country.

It’s a marvellous day trip destination that Dacotours makes even better by offering private guided day tours showcasing these magnificent attractions, along with Sunworld’s other places of interest, such as the Linh Ung Pagoda , the 100-year-old Pomelo Tree , Tinh Tam Garden and more before giving you free time to roam around the incredible streetscapes, enjoy the spectacular views being atop the mountains affords and time to ride the alpine coasters and play the arcade games at Fantasy Park .

Note: Sunworld Ba Na Hills is huge. For those who like to move at a slower pace, such as people like me who enjoy photography (I kid you not, every angle is a postcard. No wonder it was my favourite place to visit in Da Nang), I highly recommend staying a night or two at the exclusive Mercure Ba Na Hills French Village Hotel to appreciate all the remarkable things it has to offer, including allowing overnight guests early access to Golden Bridge before the park is open to day visitors, where it then gets crazy busy. (Although, if you do, bring earplugs and the rooms appear to have no soundproofing.)

Tour Highlights.

• The private tour makes it more personal.
• See the majestic Golden Bridge.
• Includes return cable car ride on a Guinness World Record Holder.
• Walk around an authentic and enchanting French Village.
• Spectacular views everywhere.
• Rides and arcade games for the kids.
• Includes lunch
• Includes free pickup from Da Nang hotels.

Tours Cons.

• Golden Bridge is very busy. (Often even for overnight guests with early access.)
• Can’t stay overnight.
• The food at the buffet is not that great.
• Couples & Families.

5. Guided Tour to Marble Mountains & Hoi An Walking Tour, Night Market, Boat Ride.

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars – From 81 Reviews! | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  6-7 hours | ✅  Book it!

A combination tour worth considering is the Marble Mountains & Hoi An Walking Tour, Night Market and Boat Ride . Led by Private Tour Guides , this highly-rated mid-afternoon and after-dark excursion knocks out two must-see attractions in one engaging and immersive 6-7-hour trip.

After being picked up from your hotel in Da Nang or Hoi An, ride in the comfort of an air-conditioned private car or minivan to Marble Mountain , where you’ll learn all about this sacred Buddhist sanctuary . After exploring the site’s holy caves, temples, and magnificent viewpoints , it then continues onto Hoi An, where its iconic ancient architecture , lantern-lined streets and traditional boats and bikes feel like stepping into another world.

Staying out past sunset, when the lanterns this city is famous for start coming on, opportunities arise for you to place your own into the water. It’s a beautiful gesture done to remember the dead., but as this fantastic tour also includes a sampan ride , I HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing it during the boat trip as it’s more personal and memorable, even though mine only survived about 60 seconds before being run down by another boat. Still, it was a magical moment while it lasted. 

There is also time to roam about the night markets, get dinner and see some of the city’s other attractions, such as the Japanese Covered Bridge and the Chinese Assembly Hall.

• Discover the famous caves, temples and pagodas of the Marble Mountains.
• See the magical lantern-lined streets of a historical urban centre.
• Magical sampan boat ride is included as are entry tickets to other attractions.

Did you know that in the dense jungles southwest of Da Nang lie the thousand-year-old ruins of the ancient Indian Champa Civilisation ? One of the best ways to explore this unique UNESCO World Heritage site is by taking a guided tour to understand this unique part of Vietnam’s cultural story.

While many companies offer trips to see this incredible site nestled in the dense jungles of Quang Nam, My Son Sanctuary Tours With Locals offers tourists more than the usual experience, because along with bringing to life the century’s-gone lost civilisations’ way of life and belief system, they also have small group or private early morning excursions . Having the opportunity to explore the 4th to 14th-century ruins of Hindu temples and the intricate carvings and symbolic motifs they are adorned with when the attraction opens up for the day and before the crowds set in provides a much more fulfilling examination of these age-old architectural marvels.

What’s also lovely about starting that early in the morning is that the humidity hasn’t set in for the day, making looking around the open-aired sites less exhausting, especially on cloudless days, while going with small or private groups means more time to ask burning questions you have about the Champa dynasty gaining deeper insights into the country’s unique heritage.

• Explore the centuries-old ruins of a lost civilisation.
• Early morning means beating the heat and the crowds.
• A private tour means it’s more personal.
• Pick up and drop off from Da Nang (extra cost) or Hoi An hotels.
• Won’t get stranded like if you come with a Grab vehicle and don’t ask them to wait. My boyfriend and I went here ourselves and there were no Grabs or taxis to take us back to the city! Luckily the ticket booth worker called one for us.
• Includes brunch.
• Doesn’t include admission costs for entering the site.
• Even early in the morning, the ruins are very exposed, so slather up with sunscreen, wear a hat and bring a water/water bottle. There’s also a cafe close to them, so you can get the latter two there.

What are the best day trips from Da Nang?

Both Hue and Hoi An can be visited on a day trip . So if you’re not planning to stay in those cities you can visit them from Da Nang.

That will give you plenty of time to visit all the places in this Da Nang itinerary!

What to book in advance for your Danang Itinerary?

I recommend o book some tours in advance. Da Nang is a popular destination in Vietnam for a reason. Many attractions will have long lines, and some need to be booked in advance.

✨ Da Nang and Hoi An Private Tour : I highly recommend booking this tour. You can explore Da Nang and Hoi An without a crowded tour bus.

Top 15 Things To Do for your Da Nang Itinerary

1. admire lady buddha.

✨ Suggested Tour: Da Nang: Lady Buddha, Monkey Mountain, and Am Phu Cave Tour .

Lady Buddha is the tallest Buddha statue in the country so as you can imagine, it’s pretty impressive! The statue is located on the Son Tra Peninsula and is just 8.5 miles (14 km) from the city center of Da Nang.

Boasting a height of nearly 220 feet (67 meters) and a diameter of 114 feet (35 meters), its size is the equivalent of a 30-story building. Now, that’s something you don’t see every day! Due to its sea-facing location, you’ll get impressive views of the surrounding area. If it’s a clear day, you’ll even get striking views of Son Tra, The Marble Mountains, and Da Nang city.

This fantastic tour will take you to the Lady Buddha, as well as Monkey Mountain and Am Phu Cave. It includes lunch, hotel pick-up and drop-off, some entrance fees, and an English-speaking guide!

2. Head to Ba Na Hills

✨ Suggested Tour: Ba Na Hills with Golden Bridge Private Tour .

Ba Na Hills is a must for any Da Nang itinerary so don’t leave this place off your list. It’s part of the Sun World Amusement Group and is located on top of a mountain that sits around 4878 feet (1487 meters) above sea level. Aside from the mesmerizing views, there are plenty of fun activities to do up here.

For starters, this is where you’ll find the iconic ‘Golden Hands’ or Golden Bridge that’s taken over Instagram. There’s also an awesome cable car ride that you’ll take to the top, and you can visit the miniature French village too!

When it comes to visiting Ba Na Hills independently you can either catch a taxi or shuttle bus. Your other option is to take a tour and there are plenty of options! This Private tour includes an English-speaking guide that will make your trip truly memorable. Or, you’ve got this Ba Na hills tour that includes a buffet lunch.

3. Relax on My Khe Beach

If you’re heading to Da Nang for a beach vacation then you won’t be short of options. Some of the best beaches in the area include Non-Nuoc, Bac My An, Son Tra, and Thanh Binh. However, My Khe Beach is by far the most popular!

It’s a lot more developed than many of the other beaches in the area. This is due to American soldiers seeking some R&R here whilst fighting in the Vietnam-US War.

Boasting pristine white sands, crystal-clear (and warm) waters, and swaying palm trees, it’s the definition of tropical paradise. Whether you’re just looking to glimpse at its beauty, or you’d prefer to spend a few hours here, this isn’t a place you want to leave off your Da Nang itinerary!

You’ll generally find that most hotels are located in this area so you’ll have easy access to My Khe Beach. Unlike many of the beaches in Southeast Asia, it’s free to visit and extremely clean. If you don’t have the chance to visit Mui Ne , then this is the place to visit for some beach time.

4. Wander around the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture

Visiting the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture is one of the best things to do in the city. The museum was built in the early 1900s and is home to the largest collection of Cham sculptures and artwork on Earth. Now, that’s a pretty big reason to visit so don’t leave it off your Da Nang itinerary!

For those who don’t know, the Kingdom of Champa used to control South and Central Vietnam until 1697. In the late 15th century, the Champa empire declined and was eventually dissolved in 1832.

What remains can be found in this museum, and there are nearly 300 sculptural works to be seen here. This date back to between the 7th and 15th centuries so you’ll be admiring a part of Vietnam’s history.

Upon your visit to the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture, you can purchase an English-language guidebook that will help to explain the importance of the sculptures.

5. Take a day trip to the Marble Mountains

✨ Suggested Tour: Marble Mountains – Hoi An Ancient Town Daily Ingroup Tour

The Marble Mountains are one of the most impressive sights you’ll see in Vietnam, let alone just Da Nang. Made up of five separate limestone mountains, this wonderful place is an easy day trip from the city. This makes it a must for any Da Nang itinerary!

The five Marble Mountains are named after the five elements (metal, water, wood, fire, and earth). They hold special significance to the people of Vietnam as they’re known to be a spiritual site!

To climb to the top, you’ll have to walk up a fair few stairs. However, the views from the top are certainly worth it. You can also explore the network of caves that are found underneath, with Huyen Khong being the largest of the caves. I wrote this whole article on how to explore Marble Mountain if you are interested in more information.

6. Walk over the Dragon bridge

No Danang itinerary is complete without walking over the city’s iconic Dragon Bridge. This is one of the coolest bridges you’ll ever see, as if you hadn’t guessed by the name – it depicts a flying dragon. The design of this dragon was inspired by the Ly dynasty and is an epic sight to see.

The Dragon Bridge spans across the Han River and is an impressive 2,185 feet (666 meters) long. There are six vehicle lanes and two lanes for pedestrians so it’s very wide, and it’s thought to have cost around $88 million which is crazy!

The incredible design isn’t the only thing that draws people to the Dragon Bridge. This bridge is home to 15,000 LED lights and is lit up at night time, which is one of the best times to visit. If you’re in Da Nang on a Saturday or Sunday, then you’re in for an even more magical experience. On the weekends at 9 pm, the bridge has a fire and water performance where the dragon breathes fire!

7. Admire the views from Sơn Trà Mountain

✨ Suggested Tour: Marble Mountains & Son Tra Peninsula Tour from Da Nang .

Son Tra Mountain is located out on the Son Tra Peninsula and is also known as Monkey Mountain. Often referred to as the ‘Green Lung of Da Nang’ this towering mountain is covered in the lush forest so it’s undeniably beautiful.

The Hai Van Pass is one of the most scenic roads in Vietnam making it a must for any Da Nang itinerary. Known as the ‘Ocean Cloud Pass’, this road is a 21 km long pass that connects Hue and Da Nang. Aside from getting spectacular sea views, the pass also runs through the Annamite Range.

This road has become a popular tourist attraction and many people choose to hire a scooter so they can drive part of the pass. Due to a new road being built in 2005, you won’t experience much traffic along this route either which is always a bonus.

For those who are experienced in driving a scooter, you can head out on this Hai Van Pass adventure if you don’t fancy taking on the drive by yourself. Or, this tour also includes a private scooter driver if you’d prefer to sit in the back seat. Either way, this isn’t an experience you want to miss.

9. Try a cooking class

✨ Suggested Tour: Da Nang Home Cooking Class .

If there’s one thing Vietnam is known for it’s its delicious food, and Da Nang is no different! You’ll find endless restaurants in the city so there are lots of foodie options. Two of the most popular dishes are Banh Nam and Banh Bot Loc – both are a kind of rice dumpling cake.

However, to make the most of your foodie experience in Da Nang you’ll want to take a cooking class and there are plenty of options!

This unique home cooking class is a great choice as it’s run by a local family so offers a very authentic experience. During this class, you’ll get to visit a market to pick up fresh ingredients, and then you’ll cook four Vietnamese dishes. You’ll also get to try the local coffee!

One of the best things about this tour is that it’s limited to 9 people so you won’t have to worry about an overcrowded experience. If you’ve got the time, I’d recommend including a cooking class on your Da Nang itinerary!

10. Have some fun at Asia Park

Asia Park is another quirky theme park that’s owned by the Sun World Group. It’s located on the edge of the Han River and is known for its iconic attractions, cool rides, and diverse cuisine.

The park is split up into three main zones; a modern outdoor park, a cultural park, and the Sun Wheel – one of the city’s most popular attractions! It marks the entrance to Asia Park and is one of the highest Ferris wheels in the world at an impressive 377 feet (115 meters) high. The views from the top are incredible, and the wheel is also lit up at night.

Another popular area of this theme park is the Cultural Park which features replicas of cultural landmarks and historical sites from all over Asia! If you’re simply looking to have some fun, then there are a couple of rides to try out too.

The park is open from 3 pm – 10 pm as its primary focus is children. Just keep that in mind, because you won’t be able to visit in the morning or during midday which many people usually do with theme parks!

11. Take a day trip to My Son

✨ Suggested Tour: My Son Sanctuary Tour from Da Nang

There are plenty of day trip opportunities from this coastal city, but a visit to My Son is a must for any Da Nang itinerary! My Son Sanctuary is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s situated within a rainforest.

Built between the 4th and 13th centuries CE, this place offers you the chance to explore Vietnam’s history. At around 1600 years old, these ruins show the influence of the Champa Kingdom and you’ll get to see this through the impressive tower temples that remain.

My Son actually used to have around 70 structures. These were mostly dedicated to the deities of Krishna, Shiva, and Vishnu. Unfortunately, most of the temples here were destroyed during the Vietnam War. However, some of the structures still remain to this day, and here you can find the complete guide on how to visit My Son .

This 5-hour My Son Tour includes pick-up and drop-off in Da Nang, transportation, and entrance fees. You’ll also have an English-speaking guide if you’re looking to learn more about this wonderful place!

12. Explore the Imperial City of Hue on a tour

✨ Suggested Tour: Imperial City, Hue: Tour from Hoi An and Da Nang .

Hue is another popular city in Vietnam, and many people choose to stay here for 2-3 days. However, if you’re short of time then you can always visit on a day trip!

You’ll find plenty of awesome things to do here like visiting the abandoned waterpark, exploring the Mausoleum of Emperor Khai Dinh, and admiring Thien Mu Pagoda. You’ve also got the Mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc and the Perfume River!

However, the city’s most famous attraction is the Imperial Citadel, or the ‘Imperial City’ as it’s also known. It’s an enclosed city within Hue itself and was once the imperial capital of the country during the Nguyễn dynasty. Inside, you’ll find so much to explore but don’t forget about the Purple Forbidden City!

This very cool 10-hour tour includes pick-up in Da Nang and transport to Hue, where you’ll get to see the very best of this Imperial City. Firstly, you’ll drive to Hue along the iconic Hai Van Pass. Then, you’ll visit some of the city’s most popular attractions like the Imperial Citadel and Thien Mu Pagoda.

13. Go snorkeling at Cham Island

✨ Suggested Tour: Cham Island: Underwater Walking & Snorkeling Tour

If you’re looking to escape the city then why not take a day trip out to the Cham Islands? This area is recognized as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and is home to a wealth of marine life and an abundance of coral reefs.

This makes it the place to visit if you’re looking to snorkel or admire the area’s wildlife. Not only that, but this island is undeniably beautiful with pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation.

Although the Cham Islands are located off the coast of Hoi An, this snorkeling tour will pick you up in Da Nang. You’ll then be taken to the islands on a traditional Vietnamese boat. Whilst on the island, you can snorkel, dive, try underwater walking or simply relax in the hammocks. The choice is yours!

If you’ve got some extra time in Da Nang, then I’d definitely consider heading to this tropical paradise!

14. Admire the architecture of Da Nang Cathedral

Da Nang Cathedral is one of the most beautiful religious buildings you’ll come across in Vietnam. It was the only church built here during the French colonial period, so as you can imagine the architecture is unique. This cathedral has been around since 1924 and is in fantastic condition considering the subsequent wars that would follow.

The first thing you’ll notice about Da Nang Cathedral is that it’s pink! In fact, it gives off very similar vibes to Tan Dinh Church in Ho Chi Minh City ! Although the exterior is extremely impressive, make sure you head inside too if the church is open.

Boasting breathtaking stained glass windows, engraved motifs, and impressive statues that depict events from the Bible, there’s so much to see here. Even better, the cathedral is free to enter but you’ll want to research the mass times before your visit.

✨ Suggested Tour: Da Nang and Hoi An Private Tour .

If you’re not planning to stay in Hoi An then you should definitely include a day trip on your Danang itinerary! This city was once an ancient trading port that used to link China and Japan with the rest of Asia, and there’s still evidence of this port today. Considering this trading port dates back to the 15th and 19th centuries – that’s pretty impressive.

The most popular area to visit is the Old Quarter. Here, you’ll find ancient yellow buildings, colorful lanterns, and stone roads making it extremely charming. You can also head to one of the tailor shops, take a boat trip along the Thu Bon River, or visit the Precious Heritage Project!

If you’re looking for an organized trip then you should check out this private tour ! Not only will it show you around Da Nang, but you’ll also head to Hoi An. During the tour, you’ll get to explore the Ancient Town, hit some of the nearby stalls, and taste some delicious food.

For the shoestring travelers out there, you can find accommodation for as little as $9. That’s often for a private room too! Mid-range accommodation tends to cost around $40-60, whilst luxury hotels are still extremely affordable. In fact, you can get a beautiful room in a 5* hotel for as little as $70 .

TOP OVERALL PICK : Sel de Mer Hotel & Suites

Rated: 9.0 Superb

This beautiful 5* hotel offers gorgeous suites, reasonable room rates, and fantastic facilities. During your stay here, you can even make use of the free salt sauna and steam bath. Don’t forget the striking sea views either!

BUDGET: Raon Danang Beach

Rated: 9.2 Superb

This is one of the best options for budget travelers as the rooms are spacious and beautiful, but above all extremely cheap! Not only is there an indoor swimming pool, but there’s a tour desk at the property where you can learn about the local activities.

Aside from its stunning location, Meliá Vinpearl has a lot to offer. With four on-site restaurants, an outdoor pool, a rooftop bar, and a spa, this gorgeous hotel has all the facilities you could dream of. Some of the suites even offer striking river views!

How to Get Around Danang

First of all, you’ll need to reach the city. Now, you can either travel overland from some of the other cities or fly to Da Nang International Airport. If you opt for the latter, then you can either catch a taxi or bus into the city center.

If you’d prefer to have your transport organized in advance, you can book a private shuttle . This is especially handy after a long flight, and you won’t have to barter down your taxi price in the airport.

Once you’ve arrived in the city and found your accommodation, there are a couple of ways to get around the city. One of the most popular ways to get around is b y taxi or motorcycle taxi, but you may need to negotiate the price.

There are a couple of public bus routes you can use but this method of transport isn’t advanced, not compared to the likes of Hanoi or Hoi Chi Minh anyway. Lastly, you can rent a motorbike for a couple of days if you wish – this will be especially handy, as some of the sights in this article are located out of the city.

Best Time to Visit Da Nang, Vietnam

The best time to visit Da Nang is considered to be January-May as this is when the Dry Season takes place . The Dry Season actually lasts until August but in the months running up to it, temperatures can reach up to 104°F (40°C). Due to the intense heat and humidity, you’ll want to visit before this if possible.

Between January and May, the temperature fluctuates between 68-91°F (20-33°C) with higher temperatures being encountered during March and May. Before these months, the climate is relatively cold and dry and you won’t encounter too much rain either.

The Wet Season in Da Nang falls between September to December and is generally split into three phases. September is the month for typhoons, while October and November encounter the most rainfall. If you’re traveling at this time of year, then December is by far the best time to visit during the wet season!

2 thoughts on “da nang itinerary: 15 epic things to do + expert tips [2024]”.

My daughter and I have four days in HCM and four days in Da Nang (early November). As I’m 79 I am not sure the tunnels would be that suitable! Any tips please. Last year we visited Hanoi and Sapa and Halong Bay and went to the all day Sunday market boardering China. Truly amazing. We loved Vietnam and its people so much and that is why we are doing a little of the Southern part.

Hey Jennie, it is so great you loved Vietnam so much that you are going back to explore more. I loved Vietnam too. I still recommend the tunnels as it is a very educational place to visit, even if you decide not to go inside the tunnel, which you won’t be missing anything, since you only get to see a small part of it. But you still can learn from the site and how the lived there during the war. I recommend you take the tour on the Mekong Delta, as you will also get to see many interesting sites, and the river market. Safe Travels,

Perhaps the most famous day trip from Da Nang is to the Ba Na Hills theme park, and rightly so! A sprawling replica of a medieval village, the park is set atop Ba Na Hills mountain and is a must-visit for all ages and interests. A cable car ride takes you to the resort via the iconic and highly-Instagrammable Golden Bridge , one of the biggest highlights of Ba Na Hills that has taken social media by storm since opening in 2018. Set amidst forested hills and “held up” by giant concrete hand sculptures emerging from the ground, this 150-meter-long architectural marvel treats visitors to impressive views.

If that’s not enough, visit the Fantasy Park, where you’ll find rides, a dinosaur park, a climbing wall, wax museum, cinema, and arcade machines. Elsewhere in the resort, you can visit Linh Ung Pagoda, take in street performances, wander around the landscaped gardens, and try not to get lost in the maze! The replica French village is also a delight to wander around, and it’s a great reminder of Vietnam’s colorful history.

The Ba Na Hills park was initially set up as a hill station during the French colonial period, and boasts some of the best views that you can find anywhere in Vietnam. Remember that at 1485 meters high, the climate can feel cool even at the height of summer, so take some warmer clothes with you as a precaution.

Nui Than Tai Hot Springs Park offers a completely different Da Nang experience for the entire family. A sprawling oasis set in the middle of a jungle, there are natural hot mineral baths aplenty. It’s the perfect place to unwind and treat your body to some serious relaxation.

You’ll find much more than just hot springs to enjoy at Nui Than Tai. Grab a map as you enter the sprawling park and enjoy a wander around the whole site. There are natural lakes with pedalos for hire, saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, and a spa. There’s also a water park featuring outdoor swimming pools, heart-stopping slides, and a dragon-chute for tubing.

Nui Than Tai has plenty of onsite restaurants and bars, plus a small hotel for overnight visitors. Additional services such as facials and mud baths can be purchased in addition to the entrance fee. This is truly the place to rid yourself of any pent-up stress!

Suoi Hoa is an off-the-beaten-track destination, found en route to Ba Na Mountain. At present, it’s known by locals but rarely visited by tourists. The site is home to the Cu Tu ethnic minority group of people. The project is a successful attempt to open up a once-wild region to visitors, without encroaching upon the natural environment.

The main feature is a walk along the Mo River to the Toc Tien Waterfalls . A stone bridge has been erected to cross the main pool, and inflatables can be hired for a leisurely float! Close to the main pool, you can visit a scale model of a Cu Tu house and learn how the local people live.

The site is clearly signposted off the main road connecting Da Nang to Ba Na Hills. It is approximately 2 kilometers from the cable car station, which takes you to the resort itself. You’ll find motorbike parking just off the main road. Here, there are cafes in which to recharge and hire a guide if needed. From then on, the 200-meter path to the falls is for walkers only.

UNESCO Heritage Site My Son Sanctuary , referred to as the “Ang Kor Wat of Vietnam”, was built by the Cham people who ruled over much of Central Vietnam from the 2nd century until the 17th century. Originally from Borneo, the Cham people are mostly Hindu and now make up one of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic minority groups.

Initially housing more than 70 separate temples and sculptures, My Son sadly suffered during Vietnam’s wars of unification and independence. 17 are still in place in their original form. Many of the surrounding ruins have been partly rebuilt thanks to a conservation project.

For centuries, My Son stood as a site for worship as well as a meeting place for the Cham leadership. Set in the midst of jungle-land, the sanctuary is a gateway to another world. Emerge from the brush and you’ll think you’ve just wandered onto the set of an Indiana Jones movie!

Those interested in Cham history can find out more in Da Nang’s Museum of Cham Culture or by visiting the wonderful Cham Island just across the water from Hoi An. Read our travel guide to Cham Island for more insight!

The Hai Van Pass is one of Vietnam’s most famous — and most thrilling — roads. It’s often taken as a scenic route when traveling between Da Nang and Hue, to the north. But if Hue is not on your agenda, the pass makes for a wonderful day trip. Use the picturesque Lang Co Beach as your final destination.

The pass itself is steeped in history, once dividing the Cham Kingdom from the Dai Viet — major empires that ruled over much of central and south Vietnam. At the top of the pass, you can stop to take in the panorama. Here, you’ll be standing right on the site of a former military base, used during the American War.

Your destination of Lang Co Beach not only offers some of the most beautiful sands to be found in Vietnam, but you can also take a hike to Elephant Falls . A forest walk with some scrambling on rocks, the path opens up with a host of pools in which to bathe. Even in the hottest weather, the water remains cool!

Distance from Da Nang: 40 kilometers

Address: Lang Co, Phu Loc, Thua Thien, Hue

We hope we’ve inspired you to take some day trips from Da Nang! If you’ve got a few extra days to spend in Central Vietnam, don’t miss our perfect travel itinerary for Hue to keep you inspired.

With a gripping history and enchanting sights, Hue is a must-visit city in Vietnam. Twice serving as a capital – first, during the mid-1700s as part of the Dang Trong Kingdom, and again from 1802 until 1945 as the Imperial City of the Nguyen Dynasty – Hue is a fascinating place to see. Under the Nguyen Dynasty, Hue reigned as the political, cultural and religious center of Vietnam.

Despite the 1968 Battle of Hue destroying many of the historic structures, the Imperial City Palace, many temples and several magnificent shrines still stand. In 1993, the Complex of Hue Monuments was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Travelers can see all the top sights on a Hue City Tour, and we visited the best attractions (and more!) on a Hue Day Trip from Da Nang.

Hue Vietnam Tours: Da Nang & Hoi An to Hue Day Trip

Because of the close proximity to Da Nang and Hoi An, it is easy to see the sights on a 1-Day Hue Tour from either city. In fact, most tour operators pick up from both Hoi An and Da Nang before traveling north to Hue. One of the best things about taking a Hue tour from DaNang or Hoi An is that other nearby locations are included – like the iconic Hai Van Pass.

There are several Hue Day Tour options – from bus tours to motorbike tours to private tours. We spent ample time carefully considering our options for the best Hue City Tour that fit our style and budget. The affordable small-group Hue bus tour we booked ticked all our boxes!

Small-Group Hoi An & Da Nang To Hue Day Trip

We booked our Hue City Tour 1-Day Trip by van through Viator . The full-day tour was limited to 14 participants and included all of the top Hue tourist attractions. The day was well organized; and our friendly, English-speaking and competent Hue tour guide was with us from beginning to end. Book this tour now!

Hue Tour from Da Nang & Hoi An: Our Hue Day Trip Itinerary

When we booked our Hue Day Trip, we were provided with a brief outline of the tour. Other travelers who want to know more specifics of this Da Nang to Hue bus tour can read our review of the itinerary as a guideline of what to expect.

Morning Pick Up

Our Hue 1-Day Tour started bright and early! Pick up times were listed between 8:00 and 8:30am. Passengers in Hoi An are picked up first. As we were one of the last to be picked up in Da Nang, the van didn’t arrive until about 8:40am – but then we were quickly on our way.

As we left Da Nang City, our guide chatted with us about Da Nang and explained the events of the day. We were soon beginning our ascent along Hai Van Pass.

Hai Van Pass Vietnam

Not all Hue sightseeing day tours travel through Hai Van Pass (many use the Hai Van Tunnel), which is a shame because the views are absolutely gorgeous. In fact, one of the reasons we booked this specific tour is because it included Hai Van Pass on the way to Hue.

Many people consider it to be the most beautiful – and most dangerous – road in Vietnam. The name translates to Ocean Cloud. The narrow, curving mountain pass is less than 14miles long and is part of Vietnam’s National Route 1A. As the road climbs to the peak, the views over the sea are astounding.

Pro Tip : Visitors prone to motion sickness will want to come prepared. While I didn’t experience any issues, I did have my Sea Bands on just in case.

At the Hai Van peak, our driver stopped so that we could get out and explore. Remnants of structures – built by the Vietnamese, the French and the U.S. – stand at the top. The Annamite Mountain Range extends from the Cambodian border to the East Vietnam Sea. The mountain essentially cuts Vietnam into North and South – and the Hai Van Pass is what connects them.

Interesting Fact : Live pigs are often transported in big trucks from the south to the north on Hai Van Pass. Along the route, there are places where the drivers can pull off to have their pigs cooled down by hosing them with water; it’s quite a unique sight, even for Vietnam!

Lang Co Bay Vietnam

After coming down the north side of the mountain, we pulled off the road to a Lang Co Bay viewing point. The old fishing village is a small jumble of houses – ringed by exquisite beaches. While taking in the scene, we learned how the shallow waters are used for farming oysters and snails – and how the town is also known for eucalyptus oil. The fishing season is too short to make a good living, our guide explained, but with the additional trades, the people in the village are able to work year-round.

After leaving Lang Co Bay, we continued our Hue Tour from Hoi An and Da Nang – and began the 1.5-hour drive to the Imperial City.

Pro Tip : The shoreline train tracks that follow the curve of Lang Co Bay are for the Da Nang-Hue Train, which we talk more about at the end of the article!

Hue Imperial City: A Hue Walking Tour

Of all Hue tourist attractions, the Imperial City of Hue is the most impressive. The walled (and moated) citadel, built in the early 1800s, was created as a massive complex that encircled the Emperor’s palace. The grounds featured spacious courtyards and ornate gardens.

Twice the Imperial City came under attack – once in 1947 by the Viet Minh and again in 1968 during the Battle of Hue. Much of the Imperial City was destroyed. However, the palace was left intact and the other buildings have been restored.

Our guide led us through the vast complex, highlighting the sights with facts and tales. We visited the Royal Palace, the Royal Theater, lush gardens, an ornate temple, the historic gates and the cultural center (where we could sample tea, rest in the garden or buy souvenirs).

Pro Tip : All Hue, Vietnam tours include visiting the Imperial City. On our Hue Day Tour, the admission to the Imperial City – and all other sights – were included in the price.

Included Hue Day Trip Lunch

When we read that our Hue one-day tour included lunch, we didn’t give it much thought. We had been eating so much amazing food in Da Nang – and most tour-included-lunches are simple meals. Little did we know that we were in for an absolute treat with some of the best food in Hue, Vietnam! Our multi-course meal at a local Vietnamese restaurant was incredible.

For starters, we ate pumpkin soup, Hue-style crispy spring rolls and Banh Khoai – the Hue version of Banh Xeo crispy, filled pancakes. Then, for the main course, we indulged in whole fried fish and a sweet-and-savory stuffed roasted eggplant. For dessert, we had fresh fruit – the perfect ending to a fabulous meal.

Pro Tip : We did need to purchase our own drinks, but they were offered at fair prices and included a variety of choices – from Coca Cola to refreshing teas and cold juices. Also note, restaurant locations and menus may vary for your Hue Tour!

Thien Mu Pagoda Hue

With full, happy stomachs, our Hue tour group boarded the van for the short ride to Thien Mu Pagoda. The famous temple was built in 1601 – and the complex comprises much more than the towering riverside pagoda. 

Our guide led us on a tour of the manicured grounds, passing gardens and ponds to the back of the complex where few other visitors were. There we visited a monk’s tomb. Although it is not customary for monk’s to be buried on the grounds, no one knew where this monk was from…so they buried him in the place he called home.

Pro Tip : One of the most interesting sights at Thien Mu Pagoda is the car of monk Thich Quang Duc. In 1963, in protest of the South Vietnamese government, Thich Quang Duc drove the car to Saigon, got out and set himself on fire. A memorial to the monk is now one of the Top Sights in Ho Chi Minh City . 

Perfume River Tour Hue

The next activity on our Hue Day Tour from DaNang was a riverboat cruise on the Perfume River. We descended the steps of the Pagoda to the riverbank where there was a traditional Dragon Boat waiting for us.

The Hue boat tour was short, but a fantastic opportunity to rest our feet, cool off and take in the scenery. Seats were set up along both sides of the covered boat and we slowly motored our way east to a pick up spot where our air-conditioned Hue tour van was waiting for us.

Royal Tomb of Khai Dinh: Hue Tomb Tour

The last stop on our Da Nang-Hue Tour was the final resting place of King Khai Dinh, which is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Khai Dinh was not a popular Emperor (he was actually quite disliked by the people for his close relationship with France), his tomb reigns as the most elaborate and decorative. The tomb complex is one of the top Hue, Vietnam tourist attractions.

Our guide led us through the on-site monuments, which feature a blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles. The complex and tomb took 11 years to complete – and, during that time, the Emperor raised taxes in order to fund the project. The intricate design of colorful mosaic tiles, however, are a truly incredible sight.  

Bus From Hue To Da Nang Vietnam

Our small tour group was back in the van by 4:15pm for the ride from Hue to Da Nang. After the full day Hue sightseeing tour, most tour participants spent the ride resting with their eyes closed. We, however, reveled in the passing scenery. Under the soft light of the setting sun, the Vietnamese countryside scene was mesmerizing.

Pro Tip : For a quicker route back – and because it was already getting dark, the driver utilized the Hai Van Tunnel…and had us back in Da Nang in time for dinner!

Other Options For Hue City Tours

Although we chose to join a small-group Hue City Tour via mini-van, there are other options for travelers looking for something different.

Hue Private Tour

Travelers who would rather join a private guide on a full-day Hue City Tour from Da Nang should read the reviews of this tour . The advantage of having a private tour guide is that you can adjust the schedule to your specific interests and timeline!

Hue Motorbike Tour

Hue Motorbike Tours are an adventurous way to visit the Imperial City from Da Nang or Hoi An. The Da Nang and Hoi An to Hue Motorbike Tour is not advised for novice motorbike drivers, but skilled riders can check out top rated Vietnam motorbike tours on Viator .

More Ways to Tour Hue

An organized Hoi An and Da Nang to Hue Tour is not the only way to visit Hue. Visitors can book their own transportation. However, it’s important to understand that Hue tourist attractions are spread out and not easy to access without a vehicle or some sort of organized city tour in Hue.

Getting To Hue Without A Tour

We considered traveling from Da Nang to Hue on our own and researched the different options of getting between the two cities. In the end, however, we were happy that we booked the all-inclusive Da Nang to Hue tour so that we could simply sit back and enjoy the sights.

Da Nang To Hue Train

There are multiple daily departures for the DaNang to Hue train (and vice versa). The ride takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on route and seats cost as little as $6 USD. Note: There is no Hoi An to Hue Train; visitors departing from Hoi An who want to take the train to Hue will need to first get themselves to Da Nang.

Da Nang To Hue Bus

For cheap transport between the two cities, the Da Nang-Hue bus is an ideal option. There are several bus companies that offer the route – including VIP buses that make the ride a little more comfortable. However, the bus route always utilizes the Hai Van Tunnel, which eliminates the Hai Van Pass and some of the best scenery from Da Nang to Hue.

Pro Tip : Visitors traveling from Hoi An can also book a direct Hoi An to Hue Bus. There are multiple journeys a day and tickets start at around $6 USD.

Da Nang To Hue Taxi and Private Hue Transfers

Getting a taxi from Da Nang to Hue is, by far, the most expensive option. However, traveling with a personal driver is the quickest way to get to Hue from Da Nang. Visitors can book a private driver – with or without sightseeing stops – in advance on Viator .

Pro Tip : Travelers staying in Hoi An can book a highly-rated Private Hoi An to Hue Transfer – Read the reviews!

HANOI TO HUE : Travelers coming from the north of Vietnam have several options for getting to Hue. The Hanoi to Hue bus is the cheapest and longest route. Visitors can also take the Hanoi to Hue Train . The Hanoi-Hue Train ride takes about 14 hours and tickets start at about $25 USD. However, rather than take the long journey from Hanoi to Hue by train, visitors can hop on an hour-long Hanoi-Hue Flight for about $50 USD. Check flight times and get the best ticket prices on SkyScanner .

Hue City Tours

Visitors who travel to Hue on their own will likely still want to join one of the tours in Hue to see the best sights.

Hue Bike Tour

Hue Cycling Tours are a popular way to see more of the region. This half-day Hue Biking Tour takes participants into the countryside to small farming villages and ends with an included lunch. Check out the reviews!

Hue Food Tour

Feast on the best food in Hue on a cyclo tour. The small-group tour visits a local market and includes multiple stops for Hue cuisine and an excellent introduction to the best Vietnamese food! Reserve your spot!
