An Amazing Experience in Son Tra Peninsula
We did this scooter tour in August, starting at 5:00 AM, and we couldn’t have made a better choice! It was truly a wonderful morning and a very special experience.
The guides were extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and always attentive to our needs. They made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and even invited us to eat together with them, which made the experience even more authentic and enjoyable.
During the tour, we had the chance to see monkeys in their natural environment, visit the Lady Buddha, stop at the beach, and reach the highest point of the Son Tra Peninsula, where we enjoyed some spectacular views.
Starting so early was definitely worth it. The atmosphere was peaceful and we were able to experience Son Tra at its best, away from the crowds.
It was truly a beautiful morning, and we would happily do it all over again! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover Son Tra in an authentic, fun, and unforgettable way.

Hi Michel, thank you for the wonderful review!
The team will be thrilled! We're so glad you enjoyed the 5:00 AM start to beat the crowds, eating together, and exploring the Lady Buddha, beach, and peak views. Seeing the langurs in their natural habitat made it even more special!
Thank you so much for highly recommending us!

Motorbike Monkey Mountain & Hai Van Pass Tour
We did the scooter tour to monkey mountain and Hai Van Pass. Cillian and Allen were phenomenal guides and shared much about the history and local culture during the tour. We felt very safe on the motorbikes throughout and got to enjoy amazing breakfast and locally prepared lunch. We stopped at a fishing village, monkey mountain, rode through Hai Van Pass, had coffee at the top of the mountain, and had a locally prepared lunch at a hidden watering hole that we would’ve never discovered on our own. Throughout the trip, Cillian also took photos that he sent us afterwards. Highly recommend this tour and we absolutely loved our time with Cillian and Allen!

Best Way to Experience Da Nang by Motorbike
We had an excellent tour with Cillian and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Da Nang.
Exploring the city by motorbike made the whole experience feel much more immersive. It allowed us to see the main sights while also enjoying the journey in between. Starting early was a big advantage as we avoided the crowds and had a more relaxed experience at each stop.
The ride through the hills was a standout moment. The scenery was beautiful throughout and made the journey just as memorable as the destinations.
We also stopped for avocado ice cream, which was a unique and delicious surprise that we really enjoyed.
Cillian was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Overall, a well-organized and memorable experience. It is a great way to see Da Nang and left us wanting to explore even more.

Outstanding! Cillian is the best!!
I don’t write reviews often, but this one felt deserved.
I joined the morning Culture & Hidden Gems tour in Son Tra, and Cillian genuinely made the experience. He’s extremely knowledgeable, especially about the red-shanked douc langurs, but what impressed me most was how natural and unforced everything felt. Nothing was scripted. He adjusted the pace based on our interests and took time to properly set up the binoculars and field scope so we could actually observe the langurs rather than just quickly spot them and move on.
We began at a small fishing village at the base of the mountain, which added meaningful context about local life and traditions. From there we visited Linh Ung Pagoda, where he shared insights into Buddhist practices and local beliefs in a clear and balanced way. The hidden viewpoints were beautiful, especially in the softer morning light, and the quieter back roads gave us better chances to see wildlife.
The motorbike ride felt safe and smooth throughout. Pickup was punctual, communication beforehand was clear, and water and snacks were provided. Everything was well organised without feeling overly commercial.
I’m usually quite critical when it comes to tours, especially in popular destinations, but this one felt thoughtful, genuine, and well executed. If you’re exploring Son Tra and want more than just a scenic drive, I would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you Cillian!

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. It is wonderful to hear that the morning light and the quieter back roads provided the perfect setting for your experience in Son Tra.
We are particularly glad that Cillian's unscripted and flexible approach resonated with you. Our goal is always to provide a genuine connection to the landscape and the wildlife, so it is great to know that the time spent with the field scope allowed for a meaningful observation of the red-shanked douc langurs.
It is also heartening to hear that the visit to the fishing village and Linh Ung Pagoda added that extra layer of cultural context you were looking for. We truly appreciate your recommendation, especially coming from a mindful traveler, and we will be sure to pass your kind words along to Cillian!

Amazing Moto Tour of Son Tra!!
Yesterday we did the Monkey Mountain Motorbike Adventure tour with Cillian and Leo, which lasted about 5 hours. And what an amazing afternoon it was. We started off at the Fishing Village/Navy Port, then to the Lady Buddha before making our way deeper into Monkey Mountain, looking out for the Red-shanked douc. The weather was with us, we saw some amazing views from the Peak, and were lucky enough to see 3 sets of Monkeys - and how beautiful they were. Cillian and Leo helped us to get some pictures through the binoculars (Cillian's are defintiely better than ours). Both Cillian and Leo knew so much about the area, the culture and the history - one of our best tours in Vietnam. We ended with dinner at a local vegetarian restaurant, which was delicious. I'd recommend this tour a thousand times over.

Amazing motorbike tour
This motorbike tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Da Nang. Everything was perfectly organized and full of local charm. Riding through Da Nang on the back of a motorbike gave me a whole new perspective of the city — from bustling streets and colorful markets to peaceful coastal roads and hidden local spots I never would’ve found on my own. Bao was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He shared so many fascinating stories about Da Nang’s history, culture, and everyday life, and you could really tell how passionate he was about his city. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Da Nang — whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, or small group. It’s the perfect way to experience the city like a local and learn from someone who truly loves what they do.

Best tour to monkey mountain
I had a trip with Cillian, he is so charming guide, talkative and has a tons of positivity!
We drove through few spots that we available due to weather conditions, but in any case he made a trip unforgettable… Spotted a various monkeys that inhabit an island. Cillian told me a different history inputs during our tour. So I strongly recommend to book him as a personal guide!!!
