Travel duration, starting time, and attractions to visit are all up to you. Yet we would like to recommend an itinerary at this order (up to 8 hours):
Tien Sa Port – Da Nang Shore Excursion
Firstly, you will run across Da Nang City before reaching Hoi An. It would be nice to take this chance to visit the city. Thus, we suggest visiting the top three Danang attractions:
- Linh Ung Pagoda: As the most famous among the three “Linh Ung Pagodas” of Da Nang City, Linh Ung Son Tra differentiates itself thanks to its vantage location and striking architectural achievements. Once you set foot on this religious site, you will be impressed by its natural scenery, including well-arranged bonsais and spontaneous growths. Moreover, various spots around its campus offer fantastic panoramas of the Son Tra Peninsula. Most especially, you can admire the tallest Buddha statue in the country (67 meters).
- My Khe Beach: Next, you may want to wind down at one of the best beaches in Da Nang. Its clean water, gentle waves, year-round warm temperature, and lovely scenery somehow prove why Da Nang is called “the liveable city.” If you feel hungry, good seafood restaurants are available here.
- Marble Mountains: Before leaving Da Nang, you should spend 1 or 2 hours exploring the large complex of the Marble Mountains. It includes six mountain peaks growing tall on an extensive sand beach by the beautiful coast of Da Nang City. It enchants tourists thanks to the unique ambiance of curious caves, ancient temples, remarkable pagodas, and especially the Heaven Gates that open charming bird-eye views. Furthermore, you should visit the Non-Nuoc Marble Carving Village at the mountain’s foot. For over 300 years, generations of local artisans have successively kept the guild of creating unique sculptures out of marble stones.
Hoi An Ancient Town – Tien Sa Port
Finally, you get to the main attraction of our Tien Sa Port to Hoi An private car trip—Hoi An Ancient Town. It welcomes you with the nostalgic and vibrant spirit of an ancient harbor city.
Firstly, you can enjoy a chilling walk along the tranquil Hoai River and adorable streets adorned with greenery, climbing bougainvillea, or colorful hanging lanterns.
Furthermore, an unmissable part of a visit to this venue is exploring its peak constructions, such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, Fujian Assembly Hall, Tan Ky Old House, etc. These will show you a profound insight into how the indigenous and the foreign lived and worked together in the same town.
Moreover, if you love local delicacies, you should turn to Hoi An Market or reputable eateries, such as Madam Khanh Banh Mi Queen, Banh Mi Phuong, or White Rose Restaurant.
After all, our driver will take you back to Tien Sa Port safely. Our shore excursion from Tien Sa Port to Hoi An by car ends. Hoi An Private Car wishes you the best holiday in Vietnam.
