Itinerary
Enjoy One of Vietnam’s Most Beautiful Beaches
Welcome! Your personal, English-speaking guide will be waiting to meet you at your arrival port, whether that is Tien Sa or Chan May Port! Once we’ve exchanged greetings, we will drive in our private, air-conditioned van along the scenic Da Nang beach for an incredibly picturesque drive.
You will have plenty of time to capture your Kodak moment as we arrive at one of Vietnam’s most picturesque beaches! My Khe Beach is a 20-mile stretch of white sandy coastline and crystal water.
*Maika travellers coming from Chan May Port will have the opportunity to travel through Hai Van Pass. Nicknamed “sea clouds pass” this winding coast road offers stunning views of mountains and sea, and an unforgettable drive!
Marble Mountain & Historic Hoi An
Our next stop is to Marble Mountain, five limestone mountains said to represent the five elements: Thuy Son (Water), Moc Son (Wood), Hoa Son (Fire), Kim Son (Metal or Gold), and Tho Son (Earth). 156 stone stairs lead to a Buddhist temple at the summit of Thuy Son. Here is the perfect stop for taking pictures of these impressive natural wonders.
Once we’ve taken the perfect snaps, we’ll make our way back to Hoi An, a 17th-century town lingering in the 21st Century. A walking tour around the Old Quarter will take us past historic buildings and down tranquil streets. We have a lot of history to squeeze in at Hoi An, including Chinese assembly halls, family chapels, museums, and of course the beautiful 18th century Japanese covered Bridge. Get ready for an afternoon full of culture, history, amazing architecture, and countless photo opportunities.
Sample Local Delicacies
Sample local specialities at lunch such as White Rose, Fried Wonton, Cao Lau Noodle, and Vietnamese Baguette. Have a break or finish the walking tour at Reaching Out Tea House to have some coffee or tea and support the staff who have hearing and speech impediments.
Finally, spend some time exploring the town and shopping to your heart’s content in this consumer paradise! Simply set a meeting time and place with your guide and they will collect you and take you back to port to get onboard your cruise ship. If timing allows, we will drive into the heart of Da Nang City and over Dragon Bridge where you can view other beautiful bridges over the Han River. Unfortunately, it is now time to return to your port, but no need to worry! Your guide will get you back in plenty of time for your cruise ship!
See What Our Guests are Saying
I now refer my friends, family and colleagues, as well as book all of my tours, accommodation and flights with Maika because I feel very lucky to have finally found an organisation in Asia that gives me the confidence to do so.
The tour was very well organized, and the guide spoke very good English. We got to see and experience so many things: Besides visiting a pagoda and Buddha statue, we also went on a boat ride (with a stop to enjoy a coconut drink) and visited local businesses producing rice paper, conical hats and mats. We had fresh fruit and tea for a snack and Pho soup for lunch which was delicious! We had such a good day and would highly recommend this tour!
We went on this tour, two families of four, with children aged 9-12 years old. We were really happy with it and highly recommend. Lin was our guide and she was fantastic, would really do a trip with her again. It was nice to do this privately and easy to adjust with Lin if needed. Maika helped us book the accommodation in Can Tho which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend and for sure do again.
You did a great job looking after all of our family of 7. The kids enjoyed all the tours and especially the Mekong cruise …as did we……because the kids were so happy we got to enjoy some time to ourselves too. I would recommend Maika Tours if your thinking of visiting Vietnam!
