Highlights
  • Linh Ung Pagoda - Explore one of the largest pagodas in central Vietnam. Our first stop takes us along winding trails to Linh Ung Pagoda, offering stunning panoramic views of Da Nang from the mountain. Capture the best Instagram-worthy shots along the way.

Upon arrival at Linh Ung Pagoda, you’ll be impressed by the Lady Buddha statue, surrounding gardens, and pagodas. Join us to avoid the crowds and enjoy the tranquility before the tourist buses arrive.

This is a truly wonderful visual experience with beautifully carved statues, including a large happy Buddha. For spiritual contemplation, any of the shrines will provide a satisfying experience (please remember to remove your shoes).

The view of Da Nang is breathtaking.

  • The Marble Mountains - Our third destination is Marble Mountain, known for its fascinating caves and temples. Experience climbing the rocky terrain and enjoy a 360-degree view of the sea and surroundings.

At first glance, the mountains may not seem very large, but their true beauty lies within. Discover a pagoda carved from marble inside the mountain, where the serene atmosphere brings a sense of peace. There are many small chambers to explore, making it a fun adventure for children. Join us to uncover all the hidden beauties of this place.

Hidden in the caves are stunning statues of Buddha and breathtaking temples. You can also purchase marble sculptures from local stores!

We’ll finish our visit with some refreshing sugarcane juice before heading back to your hotel, filled with joy and happiness.

  • Son Tra Peninsula - Visit the fishermen’s village in Da Nang for 15 minutes.
  • Bac My An Market - Our final stop is a traditional local market where we will shop for tropical fruit (we’re happy to give away 1 kilo of mangoes or peaches to our guests) and try the amazing avocado ice cream.

Great day in Da Nang - Tour was tailored to our need. We really liked it. Guide with good English. We could squeeze in Hoi An to our program on the same day.

5 STARS - Tam and co. run a very well organised and fun tourism business. We weren't treated like cattle being pushed from one location to another and ended the day as friends. Will be back to visit on another one of their tours if we are back in Danang again.

Must-do tour with the best guide! - My tour with Tam of the Marble Mountain and Monkey Mountain was my favourite tour that I did in Vietnam. At first I was worried it would be awkward as a solo traveller but Tam is so easy to talk to so we both felt like we were travelling with an old friend. He's also extremely knowledgeable and answered my many questions so patiently. I think we went over time a bit because there's so much to see at both spots if you're interested in culture and nature. Tam has an amazing eye for spotting the endangered red shanked douc monkeys - I was so excited that we saw a whole pack of them (not visible in these pictures cause i only took videos)! Also he drives so safely that even someone who is scared in traffic won't be scared. He's also very into photography and videography, I didnt know this beforehand but he sent me some amazing pics and videos of me after the tour which was such a nice extra. Also loved having the original avocado ice cream, felt like a very local hidden gem that wasnt filled with tourists. Already can't wait to do another tour with Tam when I come back to Vietnam in the future. I should have done a full day! But I planned it very last min and didnt have much time - that's another pro, he responds quickly on whatsapp and is super flexible. Literally cant recommend doing a tour with Tam enough! Don't miss out on it! Thank you so much and I hope to see you again soon my friend :)

Amazing experience exploring Da Nang with Andy and Tam! - I had a great time in Da Nang thanks to Andy and Tam. Tam is great host to stay with and helped me plan my trip to Vietnam by answering all my queries. With Andy I explored Da Nang on his scooter, where I enjoyed every moment. Highlights of my trip with Andy has to be Marble mountains and tasting avocado ice cream. Andy also helped me buy some souvenirs and clicked lots of pictures of me. All in all great experience with Andy and Tam!

What a scooter ride! - On a solo work trip and had some time to do some sightseeing, and I am so glad I booked this one. Andy is an excellent guide, friendly and knowledgeable and managed to squeeze in a whole day of sights in a few hours but I never felt rushed. Highly recommend if you want a local experience. Thanks 😊

Best scooter experience in Da Nang - Tam and Andy were excellent hosts! They were very informative, personable and communicative. They are now excellent friends to have in Vietnam! I particularly enjoyed the avocado ice cream in the local market which was so delicious. They come very prepared and make you feel very safe on the scooters even if it’s raining heavy. Thank you again!!

Fun day exploring Danang - Tam is a terrific and knowledgeable host. He knows very well about the city and different spots. He can communicate comfortably in English and is a cool person to hang out with. He is super helpful and accommodating. You can ask him for recommendations on food, drinks, local cuisine and he would be able to provide great options, and may even take you there depending on the time.
