- The Marble Mountains - The tour begins in the morning when the guide picks up participants from the hotel. The first stop is Marble Mountain, also known as Ngu Hanh Son, a cluster of five hills composed of limestone and marble, resembling five fingers near the sea. The site features numerous caves, caverns, pagodas, many stairs, and two breathtaking viewpoints. It is also home to several Buddhist sanctuaries and Hindu grottoes, which are popular places of worship for the local community. At the base of the mountains lies a traditional marble fine art village, over 300 years old, where visitors can admire the skilled craftsmen, their creativity, and their uniquely beautiful works. After bidding farewell to the Marble Mountains, the tour returns to a local family for a Vietnamese lunch.
Following lunch, the tour proceeds to Am Phu Cave (the Hell Cave), where participants will learn about many fascinating Buddhist philosophies. The Am Phu Cave offers a harmonious blend of folklore and Buddhism’s valuable philosophy of humanity.
- Son Tra Peninsula - The tour continues with a return to the bus to explore Monkey Mountain, where participants can enjoy a panoramic view of Da Nang from a high vantage point. At Monkey Mountain, visitors will explore Linh Ung Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in Da Nang City, and see the tallest Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Lady Buddha) statue in Vietnam, standing at 67 meters. There is ample time for photography and relaxation in this beautiful area, and with some luck, many monkeys can be seen around the pagoda.
The tour concludes with a transfer back to the hotel in Hoi An and Da Nang.

A very insightful visit - The tour was really interesting, and Lin is extremely helpful and patient. She answered to every question and gave us many insights into the Vietnamese culture and Buddhist religion.
We also saw a few monkeys (helped by a banana).

Monkeys and good views! - We visited beautiful caves and the tourguide Misa told us a lot about the meaning and the history of the temples and caves. At the monkey mountain we saw a lot of monkeys playing with each other and talking a bath in front of the big Lady Buddha statue. I can recommend this tour, even on a hot day! Just make sure you are prepared for the heat.

Great experience - The tour was simply great. The marble mountain, cave and monkey mountain were beautiful. The added value to the tour was Quen our tour guide. She gave us a clear understanding of the Vietnamese culture, and good explanation of what we were looking at. Very friendly and always willing to take pictures, and answer to all our question. Her English was very good, clear and very understandable. Highly recomended.

Very nice! Beautiful landscapes, beautiful caves, pagodas... - Beautiful half-day excursion since back around 2pm which allowed us a bit of beach in lazing mode after a nice trip and a typical lunch. Provide closed shoes because there are a lot of steps up and down. We admired beautiful temples, landscapes, etc. Thanks to our Qee Guide for all his detailed explanations and good humor!

Good tour with informative guide - Very informative tour guide. The Marvle shop stop was not necessary but other than that the time at some places does not need to be so long
