Highlights

The Marble Mountains - The tour begins in the afternoon at 2 pm when our guide will pick you up from the hotel for the “Afternoon Marble Mountains and Monkey Mountains small group tour.”

First, we will visit Marble Mountain, also known as Ngu Hanh Son, a cluster of five hills made of limestone and marble. They resemble five fingers lying close to the sea. The area features several caves, caverns, pagodas, numerous stairs, and two spectacular viewpoints. It is also home to several Buddhist sanctuaries and Hindu grottoes, which are popular places of worship for the local population. Marble Mountain has become a must-see destination for those who appreciate natural beauty and seek a break from busy urban areas.

Son Tra Peninsula - Returning to the bus, we will continue to explore Monkey Mountains, where we will enjoy a panoramic view of Da Nang from a high vantage point. In Monkey Mountain, you will visit Linh Ung Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in Da Nang city, and see the highest Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Lady Buddha) statue in Vietnam, standing at 67 meters. We will have plenty of time to take photos and relax in this beautiful area. If we are lucky, we might see many monkeys around the pagoda.
Han River - Then, we will have dinner at a local restaurant. At 8 pm, we will board a cruise ship to admire the colorful lights of Da Nang city and its sparkling bridges, one of the best ways to enjoy the scenery along the Han River.

On weekend nights (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) at 9:00 pm, you will have a great chance to witness the Dragon Bridge emitting fire and water for 20 minutes.

Good Night in DaNang - We were picked up from our Hoi An hotel right on time, and were two of six people on this tour. We were driven first to a store that showed the marble being carved and allowed us to purchase items if we wanted. Be aware that the marble here is not from Marble Mountain. After 10 or so minutes here, we were taken to Marble mountain where we climbed up the 200+ steps to the all the amazing sights and caves. After about two hours here, we climbed down from the mountain and were then driven to Monkey Mountain. By this time it was dark and the lights had lit up the giant lady Buddha. We spent another 20mins here before getting taken to a local restaurant for some noodles. After 30-40mins here, we were then taken to the boat station to join the masses of people waiting for a boat. It didn’t take us long to get onto a boat and were then steered out under a few bridges including the rotating bridge and the dragon bridge. We paused on the other side of the dragon bridge awaiting the Saturday night (not sure if it happens other nights) Fire and Water show of the dragon. At 9pm, the head of the dragon breathed fire several times before then hosing water from the head. It’s not an amazing show by any stretch, but it was okay. After the show, the boat took us quickly back to the station from where we grabbed the bus back to the hotel arriving at about 11pm. Quinny, our tour guide was great. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and gave us time to enjoy the sights. In particular, she made sure we boarded a boat quickly and then knew where to stand (up the front of the boat) to see the show.
