Discovering Monkey Mountain (Son Tra Peninsula)
The Unique Geography of Monkey Mountain
Monkey Mountain
Welcome to Monkey Mountain, Son Tra Peninsula the most exciting stop on our Panoramic Danang Seeing tours! Unique in its landform, Son Tra Peninsula is a nature crown for Da Nang with its mountainous back and face leaning on the sparkling East Sea. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city and beaches, and beyond for a real sense of natural beauty offered by Da Nang.
Biodiversity: The Home of the Red-shanked Douc Langurs
One of the major features that make Monkey Mountain so special is its incredible biodiversity. A wide variety of wildlife inhabits the area, including the famous Red-shanked douc langurs, seldom referred to as the “Queen of Primates." These rare and beautiful creatures, with their colorful fur and expressive faces, are a must-see on your tour. Such a unique experience, seeing them leap through the treetops. I’ll be sharing fun facts about behavior and its importance to the ecosystem in Vietnam.
Panoramic Views from Linh Ung Pagoda and Ban Co Peak
Panoramic Danang Seeing tours will take you to some of the best viewpoints on the so-called Monkey Mountain. First up is Linh Ung Pagoda, home to the 67-meter-tall Lady Buddha statue that overlooks the sea. The view from here is simply breathtaking’ll see views of the city of Da Nang, the coastline, and the East Sea at this stunning spot.
We continued to go uphill to Ban Co Peak, the highest point of Son Tra Peninsula. This peak has an elevation of 700 meters above sea level and views all points of the compass. With a legend about two gods playing chess here, it is so magic, so it would make one feel they were standing on top of the world.

Continuing the tour, we will be introduced to some of the natural wonders of Monkey Mountain. Among the most important features of the reserve is the millennial banyan really striking natural monument with sprawling roots and massive branches. This majestic tree is a symbol of the rich history and natural beauty of the Son Tra Peninsula. The gentle sounds of the in-jungle fauna organize some quiet accompaniment for this mystic view.
Observing Local Wildlife and Rare Birds
These Panoramic Danang Seeing tours give quite a few opportunities to spot local wildlife. Along with the Red-shanked douc langurs, you might see monkeys swinging through trees and rare birds such as the black-capped kingfisher and the chestnut-headed bee-eater. Many of these species feature in Vietnam’s Red Data Book; this tour, therefore, gives a special opportunity to see endangered wildlife in its natural habitat. Our tours are environmentally friendly, meaning that we protect these animals while giving you an unforgettable experience.
Relaxing at Bai But Beach
The real find along the coast is the beach known as Bai But Beach. Without stopping here for some sunbathing or a refreshing ocean dip after spending time in forests and mountains, it would not be a tour of Monkey Mountain.

Essential Tips for Enjoying the Panoramic Danang Seeing tours
Best Time of Year to Visit
The best time to experience the beauty of Monkey Mountain and Danang Tours falls between March and August, in its dry season. The skies are clear, and the temperatures are warm but pleasant; you’ll find perfect weather for sightseeing. Here’s the best time for hiking, wildlife spotting, and panoramic views suitable for picture postcards.
However, if you’re going to go there from September through February, prepare for the rainy season. Of course, the landscape is going to go lovely and green, though rains make the trails slippery and visibility isn’t that great at times. So, if you want the full Danang Skypoint experience, plan your trip for the dry months!

What to Wear and Bring for the Tour
Comfort is the top priority during a trip to Monkey Mountain. It is a must to wear comfortable walking shoes, as we will take forest trails and have to make our way up to interesting viewpoints. Lightweight and breathable attire is ideal for hot weather. And don’t forget to wear a hat to save yourself from the sun. We will be open most of the time, so bring sunscreen to save yourself from sunburn.
Binoculars are just one of those things that one should not leave home without on this tour! You’re going to get a glimpse of some really rare wildlife, the elusive Red-shanked douc langur among them, and with binoculars, you will be able to bring those targets closer to their natural environment. I swear, you just wouldn’t want to miss that!
Safety Tips for an Enjoyable Experience
Living here in the Monkey Mountain ecosystem, we have a very valuable and complex biodiversity; for that reason, respect towards the environment and the animals is of great importance. Right off the bat, do not feed the monkeys. Although they may look cute and friendly, feeding them takes away their natural behaviors and makes them dependent upon humans. Furthermore, the monkeys can get a little aggressive when they expect food, so keep a distance out of respect.
It is also very important that we stick to the designated paths of our tour. There are some endangered species right here in Monkey Mountain, and we want to disturb them as little as possible. And lastly, remember to pack out any trash you bring with you. Keeping the mountain clean helps preserve its beauty for other people coming here and keeps the wildlife safe.
Photography Tips for Capturing the Best Shots
If you are a photography enthusiast, then get set for a treat on the Panoramic Danang Seeing tours! There are endless opportunities to snap great photos, and I’ve got a few tips to help you capture the magic.
For those panoramic shots, on the other hand, make sure to get to Linh Ung Pagoda early in the light and clear air. The views from up here are amazingly stupendous over both Da Nang and the East Sea at any time, but most softly in the morning. If ever you’re also keen on snapping any wildlife, be patient. The red-shanked douc langurs might take their time to appear, but be ready with your cameras, and get those detailed shots.
And don’t forget the city’s landmarks! If passed by, take a photo of such modern architectural marvels as the Dragon Bridge, Han River Bridge, and Thuan Phuoc Bridge together with the surrounding natural beauty. These shots will create quite great memories of your Danang Tours adventure!
