- The Marble Mountains - The tour begins in the morning when the guide picks up participants from the hotel. The first stop is Marble Mountain, also known as Ngu Hanh Son, a cluster of five hills composed of limestone and marble, resembling five fingers near the sea. The site features numerous caves, caverns, pagodas, many stairs, and two breathtaking viewpoints. It is also home to several Buddhist sanctuaries and Hindu grottoes, which are popular places of worship for the local community. At the base of the mountains lies a traditional marble fine art village, over 300 years old, where visitors can admire the skilled craftsmen, their creativity, and their uniquely beautiful works. After bidding farewell to the Marble Mountains, the tour returns to a local family for a Vietnamese lunch.
Following lunch, the tour proceeds to Am Phu Cave (the Hell Cave), where participants will learn about many fascinating Buddhist philosophies. The Am Phu Cave offers a harmonious blend of folklore and Buddhism’s valuable philosophy of humanity.
- Son Tra Peninsula - The tour continues with a return to the bus to explore Monkey Mountain, where participants can enjoy a panoramic view of Da Nang from a high vantage point. At Monkey Mountain, visitors will explore Linh Ung Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in Da Nang City, and see the tallest Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Lady Buddha) statue in Vietnam, standing at 67 meters. There is ample time for photography and relaxation in this beautiful area, and with some luck, many monkeys can be seen around the pagoda.
The tour concludes with a transfer back to the hotel in Hoi An and Da Nang.

A fun, and well guided tour with TÃn! - Our tour guide, TÃn (or TÃnh, sorry) was knowledgeable and funny. He made our trip so much more pleasant and fun, yet educational! We learned a lot from TÃn, about the mountains (the 5 elements), the marbles in the mountain and marble manufacturing, and the Vietnamese culture. It was quite hot and lots of steps to climbs but you don’t need to hike to the top for the city view of Da Nang. The height of Lady Buddha statue was impressive! It was a fun but sweaty trip. I totally recommend this trip ! And a big thumbs up for our tour guide, TÃn!!

So interesting - It was really excellent, we were with Ty, the best guide I could have, he was so kind, funny, interesting, interactive, in short Vietnam is a beautiful country rich in history and visiting the citadel of Hue is a must to understand much of the country's history.
Ty had answers to all my most specific questions, I recommend this activity 100%

Great pace, awesome guide, stunning views! - Awesome halfday tour! Our tourguide shared a lot of cool stories and insights into Vietnamese way of life, and made us laugh. The caves are wonderful, and the views stunning. There are lots of stairs, so definitely wear comfy shoes.

Did 3 tours in Hoi An. This is the only one that delivered everything as promised. - Tour guide Lee was great. Provided necessary information, history, and context...without comedic filler like other tours in Hoi An. My onky suggestion is to slow down...don't rush through. Allow people to take a few pictures along the way 📸.

Worthwhile but room for improvement - The pick-up went quite messy and the first tour guide unfortunately spoke very poor English so it all went a bit difficult. As soon as we got to the caves it went fine with the second tour guide. The sights are definitely worth seeing and the lunch was delicious.
