Itinerary
Put Your Toes in the Sand
Once you disembark at Tien Sa or Chan May Port*, greet your English-speaking guide and your fellow travellers. Our small group will depart for My Khe Beach – one of Vietnam’s most beautiful beaches.
The 10-kilometre stretch of coastline running from the foot of the Son Tra Peninsula to the Marble Mountains entices visitors into its white sand, gentle waves, and crystal water. My Khe Beach is ideal for those who are interested in beach sports, such as jet skiing, parasailing, windsurfing, and so on. Here, you will see the lively beach scene where tourists and locals alike enjoy the breezes and the rolling waves.
*If you come from Chan May Port, we will travel through Hai Van Pass, meaning “Ocean Cloud Pass.” The scenic route winding through the mountainside serves as the natural border between Hue and Da Nang. In 2021, the renowned US magazine Travel + Leisure(opens in a new tab) ranked the Hai Van Pass among the top 4 of the world’s 10 most beautiful coastal drives.
Climb the Marble Mountains
The Marble Mountains(opens in a new tab) is an important part of Da Nang’s natural wonders and spiritual settings. This tourist attraction is a group of five limestone peaks, named after the five elements Kim Son (metal mountain), Moc (wood mountain), Thuy (water mountain), Hoa (fire mountain), and Tho (earth mountain). The ancient Cham people honoured the karts as a sacred site while Vietnamese emperors from Hue stopped to visit the peaks, enriching them with tales and legends.
Walk through the Heritage Site
Next, head to Hoi An, proudly noted since 1999 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient town is often synonymous with vintage vibes combining ancient architecture, wonderful nature, and good-natured people. Stroll along the Old Quarter as an escape from the hectic pace of life.
A visit to Hoi An is definitely not a mere sightseeing experience, it is a heartfelt gift for those who cherish timeless charm. Get ready for an afternoon full of culture, history, and amazing architecture. You will be rewarded with countless photo opportunities at the Fujian Assembly Hall, the Chaozhou Hall, family chapels, and of course the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge.
Feast on Traditional Dishes
Don’t let your stomach growl! Treat yourself to local delicacies at lunch. A select menu of White Rose, Fried Wonton, Cao Lau Noodles, Banh Mi (Vietnamese baguettes), and many more is ready to keep your belly happy. Continue your food walking tour at Reaching Out Tea House to enjoy coffee or tea while supporting the staff with hearing and speech impairments.
After those cuisine delights, spare time to do some shopping and bring home some of Vietnamese special handcrafted items before driving into the heart of Da Nang City. Admire the fascinating architecture of the Dragon Bridge – the symbol of Da Nang’s great development in transportation and tourism.
With so many things fulfilled, now you can return to your port, filled with plenty of joy and satisfaction. It’s time you said your farewells and embarked on another exciting adventure.
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!
