- 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.

Great trip with Misa - It was a great trip, which was very well organized. But the best was Misa, our tour guide, she was so friendly, funny and rounded off the whole trip optimally. I would book you tour anytime again!

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.
