Being driven around in a jeep taking in all the views of Son Tra was a great experience. Why take a tour bus when you can have a private jeep? Den our driver was very friendly and went out of his way to take photos of us and accommodate my need for a coffee 🤣
Dan, the Jeep driver, is a very kind and cool person! I had a great time exploring Monkey Mountain by Jeep and enjoying the beautiful views of the sea, the mountain, and Da Nang. I strongly recommend this experience to everyone! :)
The novelty of being driven around the peninsula in a jeep was such an experience that beat any overcrowded tour bus!! Our guide was so relaxed, knowledgeable and fun! He took so many photos of us without us even asking. He even bought us traditional Vietnamese coffees before we set off! We had such a beautiful morning cruising around the peninsula and witnessing the beautiful views and were lucky to see all the monkeys. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!!

An unforgettable tour for us that we'll talk about for years to come. We were super lucky to have seen a pack of Red-shanked Douc Langur monkeys in the trees. Our guide was very patient as we took many pictures of the monkeys. Amazing views from the top of Monkey Mountain, our guide pointing out all the famous reference points for us and helping us to take family photos.

Superb fun!! We had a great half day tour on the jeep around Song Thra. We seen some fantastic sights including the incredible Lady Buddha. We were so lucky to have Quangsy as our guide, he was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the area and the history behind it. Quangsy was also really keen to share his love and knowledge for the old jeep which was my husband loved! I’d thoroughly recommend Quangsy, one of the best guides we have ever had world over! This was a good trip, we did half day in the AM which meant enough time to see all the sights and could head out for lunch and relax by the beach afterwards. 5 star thumbs up!

Honestly the highlight of my trip! The novelty of being driven around in a Jeep like that was incredible! The tour itself around monkey mountain was super! It was so un-rushed and relaxed, and my tour guide really took the time to show me all the spots and take photos etc, he was super determined to find a red shanked Langur, and we actually ended up seeing and photographing two separate families of them, which was surreal! I couldn’t speak more highly of my tour guide! He even dropped me back at my hotel as well after the tour. Absolute legends! I will return to Da Nang in the future and will definitely be doing another jeep tour! Thanks so much!

We joined the jeep tour around Son Tra Peninsula, and it turned out to be one of the best highlights of our trip to Da Nang. Our guide Dan was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. We arrived at the meeting point an hour early by accident, yet he welcomed us with great patience and even drove out to grab coffee for us during our wait. Throughout the tour, he brought us to many stunning hidden viewpoints all over the peninsula. He kindly took beautiful photos for us at every stop and went out of his way to track down five-color langurs just so we could witness them. You can truly feel how hard he tried to make our journey enjoyable and special, he also went extra lengths to drop us at the hotel after the tour. The most touching moment happened after the tour. I accidentally left my lipstick in his jeep and had already thought I’d lost it forever. To my surprise, Dan personally traveled all the way to our hotel in the afternoon and left my lipstick at the reception for me. He is such a down-to-earth, honest and heartfelt local guide. If you are visiting Da Nang, this jeep tour is definitely worth booking. We highly recommend it!

The trip was something absolutely incredible, words are not enough to describe my feelings! 😍 Just being in an old Jeep in those incredible landscapes was an incredible experience, but when we got to see these endangered monkeys twice, I was overwhelmed with happiness! Even though the weather was foggy at the top, it was magical and like a fairy tale for us. ✨🌫️ Our driver was incredibly nice and served us more than enough. 😍🫶🏼😁 I recommend this trip with all my heart and don't hesitate for a moment to participate if you're even thinking about it. 😁

Not worth the money. Was told we had 30 minutes at Mother Buddha so we rushed around only to be finished. Duration was 2 hours and 20 minutes. Not 4 as per itinerary. Left to wander on own no explanation.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The duration of the tour may vary depending on traffic and the actual pace of the group on the day. Regarding the time at Mother Buddha, we will review this with our team to ensure better time allocation and clearer guidance for guests. We also apologize if you felt there was a lack of explanation, and we will work with our guide to improve this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
