Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Airport Arrival – Da Nang City Tour
Your guide and driver will meet you at Da Nang International Airport and transfer you to a local restaurant for lunch. After hotel check-in and some rest, the afternoon city exploration begins.
- 14:00 – Linh Ung Pagoda, Son Tra Peninsula: Start with one of Da Nang’s most peaceful and photogenic spots. The 67-metre Lady Buddha statue — one of the tallest outdoor statues in Vietnam — gazes serenely over the East Sea. Explore the temple grounds and take in panoramic views of Da Nang Bay from the hillside.
- 16:30 – Dragon Bridge: Head to Da Nang’s most iconic landmark — the dragon-shaped bridge spanning the Han River. A great photo opportunity at any time of day.
- 18:30 – Dinner at a local restaurant.
- 20:00 – Han River Night Cruise (tour highlight): Board the cruise at 20:30 for a 1-hour evening sail along the Han River. Watch Da Nang’s illuminated skyline drift past and witness the Dragon Bridge’s fire and water show from the very best seat in the city.
Meal plan: Lunch / Dinner
Day 2: Da Nang – Marble Mountains – Cam Thanh Coconut Village – Hoi An
Please check out and have luggage ready in the hotel lobby before departure.
- 09:00 – Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son): Take the elevator to the summit and explore this cluster of five limestone and marble hills, each named after one of the five natural elements. Wander through Huyen Khong Cave, discover ancient Cham towers and pagodas built directly into the rock face, and enjoy sweeping views of Da Nang. Then visit Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village at the base of the mountains, where skilled artisans have been passing down the craft of marble sculpting for more than 400 years.
- 12:00 – Cam Thanh Coconut Village & Basket Boat Ride: Settle into a traditional round basket boat and glide through the lush coconut palm waterways near Hoi An. Watch local boatmen spin the boat with impressive skill, learn about traditional fishing methods, and soak in the tranquil greenery of this charming eco-village.
- 13:00 – Lunch at a local restaurant.
- 14:30 – Check in to Hoi An Villa Resort. Take time to unwind and enjoy the pool.
- 16:00 – Hoi An Ancient Town: Stroll the lantern-filled streets of Hoi An’s UNESCO-listed Old Town as the afternoon light softens. Visit the Japanese Covered Bridge — the town’s most recognisable symbol — along with the Cantonese Assembly Hall (Hoi Quan Phuc Kien), traditional merchant houses, and artisan boutiques. Browse the Hoi An Night Market at your own pace.
- 20:30 – Coach transfer back to the hotel. (Guests who wish to stay longer and enjoy Hoi An’s nightlife may return by Grab at their own convenience.)
Meal plan: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner
Day 3: Da Nang – Ba Na Hills – Da Nang
- 08:00 – Depart for Ba Na Hills, approximately 35 km west of Da Nang. The winding drive through the foothills and countryside is a pleasant start to an exceptional day.
- 09:00 – Ba Na Hills Cable Car: Ascend via one of the world’s longest and highest cable car systems. Watch forests, waterfalls, and rolling mist pass beneath you as you rise toward the summit.
- 09:30 – The Golden Bridge: Walk across this world-famous architectural icon, held aloft by two giant stone hands rising from the hillside. Morning is the ideal time to visit — fewer crowds and the best natural light for photos.
- 10:30 – Linh Ung Pagoda & Le Jardin D’Amour: Visit the mountaintop pagoda with its commanding Buddha statue overlooking the valley, then stroll through a series of beautifully landscaped themed gardens filled with colour and floral artistry.
- 11:30 – Fantasy Park: Step into this indoor entertainment zone inspired by Jules Verne — featuring a 4D cinema, alpine coaster, and arcade games. A highlight for families and groups of all ages.
- 12:30 – Buffet Lunch at Ba Na Hills.

Q: How is this 4-day tour different from the 5-day tour?
This 4-day itinerary focuses on Da Nang, Hoi An, and Ba Na Hills, and does not include the Hue day trip. It’s the ideal choice if you have a tighter schedule or prefer to spend more time at each destination without rushing. If you’d like to add the Imperial City of Hue and Khai Dinh Tomb, we recommend upgrading to our 5-day, 4-night package.
Q: Are Ba Na Hills cable car tickets and entrance fees included in the tour price?
Yes. All sightseeing entrance fees — including the Ba Na Hills cable car ticket and theme park access — are fully covered in the tour price. The buffet lunch at Ba Na Hills on Day 3 is also included.
Q: Is this tour suitable for families travelling with young children?
Absolutely. Day 3 at Ba Na Hills is especially family-friendly, with Fantasy Park’s indoor rides and 4D cinema keeping younger travellers entertained. The basket boat experience at Cam Thanh on Day 2 is also a favourite with kids. Please contact us for specific child pricing and policy.
Q: Can I stay longer in Hoi An Ancient Town on the evening of Day 2?
Yes. The tour coach departs for the hotel at 20:30. If you’d like to stay longer and explore Hoi An’s nightlife, you’re welcome to make your own way back by Grab — the journey to the resort is short and affordable.
Q: What is the best time of year to take this tour?
The best months to visit Central Vietnam are February through August, when the weather is consistently sunny and rainfall is low. March to May is peak season, offering the most reliable conditions. We recommend avoiding October and November, which fall within the region’s typhoon and heavy rain season.
