Depart from Hoi An and travel to Da Nang to explore the Marble Mountains, including stone carving villages, ancient pagodas, and impressive caves such as Am Phu Cave. After lunch at a local restaurant, continue to Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula to admire the towering Lady Buddha statue and panoramic coastal views before returning to Hoi An.
Your journey begins with hotel pick-up in Hoi An’s town centre. Meet your professional driver and guide, then travel comfortably to Da Nang while enjoying views of the coastline and surrounding countryside.
Arrive at the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son), a cluster of five limestone and marble hills representing the five elements. Begin your visit with a walk through the stone carving village, where local artisans craft statues and religious sculptures using traditional techniques.
Climb stone steps (or use the optional lift) to explore key highlights, including:
Pagodas nestled into the mountains
Huyen Khong Cave with natural skylights
Tang Chon Cave featuring Buddhist shrines
Continue to Am Phu Cave, a dramatic and atmospheric cavern symbolising Buddhist interpretations of heaven and hell, offering both spiritual insight and striking visuals.
After your Marble Mountains visit, enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Sample regional dishes prepared with fresh ingredients, offering a taste of authentic Central Vietnamese cuisine.
In the afternoon, travel to Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula. This peaceful hilltop site is home to the 67-metre Lady Buddha statue, the tallest in Vietnam.
Stroll around the pagoda complex, admire the elegant architecture, and take in sweeping views of Da Nang city, the East Sea, and surrounding mountains. This serene setting offers a perfect moment for reflection and photography.
After completing the visit, relax during the drive back to Hoi An. Drop-off at your hotel marks the end of the tour.
