Step by Step
Your day begins with pick-up from your hotel in Hoi An between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM (time to be confirmed), from where an air-conditioned minibus will take you to the Marble Mountains. There you will discover pagodas hidden in marble caves and watch artisans sculpting the iconic local figures. Don't miss the panoramic views of the Đà Nẵng coastline from the top of Mount Thủy Sơn.
At noon, you will have free time for lunch on your own at the base of the mountains or at a local restaurant (not included) before departing for My Son Shrine, the cradle of the ancient Champa Kingdom. You'll explore its ruined temples while learning about the rich civilisation that flourished here centuries ago. A traditional Cham dance performance adds a cultural touch to your visit.
As the sun begins to set, you'll transfer by minibus to the jetty, where you'll board a traditional boat up the Thu Bon River. With a tasting of Vietnamese snacks and two bottles of water included, you will sail off into the sunset, gazing out over fields flooded with golden light and the contours of the mountains.
Finally, you will return by water to Hoi An and return to your hotel by minibus, taking with you indelible memories of history, nature and culture.
