Itinerary
The tour starts from the morning where our guide will pick you up from the hotel. Firstly, we will visit marble mountain, also known as Ngu Hanh Son, is the group of five hills, made of limestone and marble. They look like 5 fingers lying close to the sea. There are several caves, caverns, pagodas, many stairs and 2 spectacular viewing points. they are also home to several buddhist sanctuaries and hindu grottoes which are much visited places of worship for the local population. At the foot of the mountains there is a traditional marble fine art village which is over 300 years old. You will admire its talented craftsmen, their creativity and their uniquely beautiful works. Say good bye to marble mountains we will come back local family for vietnamese lunch. After lunch, we continue to visit Am Phu cave (the hell cave). We will learn many interesting philosophies of buddhism. The Am Phu cave features a harmonious combination of folklore and buddhism’s valuable philosophy of humanity.
Returning to the bus we will continue to explore monkey mountains, here we will enjoy panorama view of da nang from high position. In monkey mountain, you will visit Linh Ung pagoda,one of the biggest pogoda in da nang city and the highest avalokitesvara bodhisattva (lady buddha) statue in vietnam – 67m.

This was one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Our tour guide, Tin, was super knowledgeable and an all around awesome guy! Pick up arrived at our hotel in DaNang (the company is based in HoiAn) exactly on time and communication through the Viator app and on WhatsApp was great! We had a pretty small group (I don’t think there was more than 12 of us), which made it easy for everyone to hear and follow Tin. Afternoon lunch was really good too! I would strongly recommend using this service! We were so happy with everything!
Cam is a pro! We had a nice half day outing with Cam and the driver. Pickup on time, lunch was tasty and plentiful! I wish we had more time to explore monkey mountain but the drive was the farthest and it’s a timed tour. Bring cold water in an insulated bottle for the mountain climb/ caves.
Thank you so much for joined us 😊, we appreciate your review and wishing you all the best! Enjoy your holiday and hope to see you again.

Great tour which was made even better with our guide Mike. Perfect length of time with a lovely lunch included. Only criticism I have is for the owners to clean the minibus - it was rather dirty.

Great tour again with Minh. We did a second trip with the company the next day to another destination. Again a lot of knowledge about the site's history and cultural/religious significance. Comfy drive, stop at Marble Mountains, little house to eat tons of delicious food and a free walk around Lady Buddha site! Highly recommend
Thank you so much! We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour. Have a nice day and hope to see you in the next holiday!
The trip was really nice, our tour guide "Casper" told us a lot and then gave us some time at the stops to look around and take pictures alone. Casper has always seen that the group stays together and also made sure that people who are not so good on foot can look at something that is possible for them. Overall, a very successful excursion that we can recommend.
Thank you very much. We are glad you enjoyed it. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again.
