Itinerary

Your guide and driver will meet you at the hotel at 8AM for a full day tour. Begin with the Son Tra Peninsula, once known as “Monkey Mountain”. Rising nearly 700 meters above sea level, this lush national park offers sweeping views of the ocean and coastline. At its heart stands the striking Linh Ung Pagoda, home to Southeast Asia’s tallest statue of the Goddess of Mercy. The 67-meter figure, poised on a lotus base and surrounded by 21 smaller Buddha images, is a powerful symbol of peace and compassion.

Continue to the Marble Mountains, a cluster of dramatic limestone hills dotted with pagodas, caves, and shrines. Explore Am Phu Cave, wander through sacred temples, and reflect on the cultural layers that reveal both Buddhist and Hindu influences. Nearby, visit the Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village, where generations of artisans have crafted intricate sculptures — an ideal place to admire local craftsmanship or choose a keepsake.

Pause for a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before heading toward Hoi An.

After lunch, drift into the tranquil green world of the Cam Thanh Coconut Jungle. Here, you’ll join local fishermen for a hands-on demonstration of casting nets and enjoy the fun of basket boat rowing through the waterways.

Next, step into the time capsule of Hoi An Ancient Town. Stroll its lantern-lined streets, visit landmarks such as the Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, Phung Hung Ancient House, and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge. Discover the town’s blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese heritage, and browse the lively stalls of the Central Market. Have free time discovering more of this town before transferring back to your hotel. End of services.
