Are you prepared for an exciting adventure with Danang Hiking Photo Tours? The beautiful Son Tra Peninsula is home to the Ban Co Peak, which has been a dream destination for any nature lover and photographer. Lying just 9 kilometers away from Danang’s center, this peak is sure to kill it with its breathtaking panorama sight of the coastline, rich greenery, and distant mountains-bringing it into the must-have in Danang Tours. Whether you are here for hiking to get your adrenaline running or to capture that perfect shot, Ban Co Peak offers something beyond comparison for anyone delving into the beauty of Danang. Let’s learn more about what makes this tour unique.
Ban Co Peak
Get ready for some seriously breathtaking views on our Danang Hiking Photo Tours! One of the highlights that make Ban Co Peak so famous is the great panoramic views. You can see the whole city of Danang from this peak, its golden beaches, and how a dramatic coastline stretches as far as the eye can see. Whether you capture sunrise or sunset, both times offer ideal lighting conditions for photography. Sunrise bathes the landscape in soft golden hues where the morning occupies, while sunset paints the sky in vibrant colors perfect for capturing postcard-worthy shots.
But it is not only the views that make Ban Co Peak special, it’s the legendary meaningfulness of this peak, represented by the statue of De Thich mythological game of chess played by gods. This cultural story gives an extra layer to your tour, and it is not a hike but traveling through legends and history. A snap here captures much more than nature’s beauty; it narrates rich mythology, adding a unique flavor to the cultural dimension of your Danang Tours experience.
On the Son Tra Peninsula, hiking will bring you into the lively ecosystem that possesses the most interesting flora and fauna. Rare wildlife inhabits the peninsula, and colorful and striking species of flora and fauna, like the red-shanked douc langurs, are the best subjects for wildlife photography. Photography of strikingly beautiful animals in their natural habitat forms one of the key highlights of Danang Hiking Photo Tours and is surely a moment that one will remember forever with brilliant wild images.
One major sight on the journey is the grand giant banyan tree Cay Da Dai Thu, well over 800 years old. The big roots and grandly stretched branches are a perfect setting for amazing nature photography. Standing beneath its towering canopy, you can feel the peaceful energy from this ancient giant, an experience and photo opportunity not to be missed on your Danang Hiking Photo Tours.
07:00 – Start from East Sea Park (Cong Vien Bien Đong)
Our adventure starts with the famous East Sea Park, which is located serenely right next to the sea. In the morning, this place comes alive with the soft sun rays filtering through trees and reflecting from smooth waves. This is a point where you can warm up your camera and start capturing the day. You will find hundreds of pigeons crossing the sky, an ideal subject for your first shots.
Photography tip: Soft early morning light can be used to great effect in capturing tranquil seascapes. Still water, golden light, and large flocks of birds all combine to produce breathtaking photographs. Wide-angle lenses are best used here to capture the expansiveness of the sea and sky.

07:45 – Begin the Trekking from Yet Kieu Road
From here, transfer to the starting point of our trek on Yết Kiêu Road. Winding through Son Tra Peninsula’s sea of green, this morning trek treats you to stunning vistas and a refreshing morning atmosphere that awakens your senses. The higher we rise, the more dramatic the shift from coastal vegetation into an even denser tropical forest environment.
Trekking tips: Comfort in all means in your hiking equipment is a must, and don’t forget the photo equipment light camera bag, water-resistant equipment covers, and proper trekking shoes. For photography, be sure to take pictures anytime; you will hardly miss a moment of the natural wonders this trail is rich in. Watch out for certain soft lighting that filters through the perfect times for some moody, atmospheric shots.
08:30 – Stop at Vong Canh House (Nha Vong Canh) – Elevation 580m
The worthy hike ends at Vong Canh House, set at 580 meters above sea level. We rest here, replete with sprawling views of Hai Van Pass to the East Sea and across Da Nang’s islands. This spot has some of the best panoramic views of Danang, so take time to enjoy it.
Photography tip: There is a landscape of grand views; one must use a wide-angle lens to cover them all. If you have a drone with you, this is the place to fly it, provided the regulations allow you to do so. The aerial views of the coastline and islands will give your photography the most premium touch. Make sure to get in a position where you will capture that vibrant blue against the lush green hills.

09:15 – Reach Ban Co Peak (Elevation 641m)
And now, the crowning glory of our Danang Hiking Photo Tour! We finally made it to the top of Ban Co Peak after some effort and determination at an impressive 641 meters. It is here that this famous statue inspires the actually internationally famous game of chess this peak has been named after, De Thich. The 360-degree views of the city, coastline, and mountains are stunning from here.
Photography tip: The peak is set to provide ample opportunities for fantastic shots. Shoot the whole city of Danang sprawling down below, with the glittering ocean serving as a backdrop. If you like interactive photos, pose next to the chessboard or the statue of De Thich. You can also get creative with the angles to play up the legendary atmosphere of the location. Use the landscape to tell a story with your photos, and no less important, take some panoramic views showing the real greatness of this view.
10:30 – Visit the Ancient Banyan Tree (Cây Đa Ngàn Năm)
From here taking in the views at Ban Co Peak-we go to the Ancient Banyan Tree a wonder of nature that has survived for over 800 years. Such is this big tree, featuring a sprawled canopy and gnarled roots, a veritable dream of all photographers. The ancient, almost mystical appearance of this tree makes it ideal for taking photos of nature.
Photography tip: We encourage you to click a picture of the grandness of the banyan tree by experimenting with different angles. A low-angle shot will highlight the size and roots of the tree, although doing so is better with a wide-angle lens. Such a lens will allow you to take the whole tree and its surroundings in a single frame. Besides, rays of sunlight filtering through the branches give a magical touch to the snaps.
11:15 – Return and Conclusion of the Trek
The way back allows us to take one final look at the Son Tra Peninsula. Take your time by stopping to shoot what you missed during the ascent: flora, fauna, and landscapes. The light would have shifted a little at that time, so it is a new opportunity to capture everything in a different light.
Photography tip: This is not a time to put your camera away! Many of the scenic spots will be seen again, and now with the late-morning sun, you could try new compositions and angles. Now’s your chance to mix things up in your collection-whether capturing a close-up of a rare plant or getting that last coastline shot from this different perspective.

For great weather and amazing lighting, the best time to go on a Danang Hiking Photo Tour is from February to August. It is in these months that Danang sees a relatively clear sky with pleasant temperatures that are good for both hiking and photography. If you are an early bird, you may want to try aiming for sunrise as a starting point in your hike to shoot this soft, gold light spreading across the landscape. The other magical time for your photos would be the setting of the sun when the scenery gets covered with warm hues, so if you are up for an afternoon trek, well and good!
Six pages later, here’s a quick list to check that you are prepared for both the hike and the photography:
First of all, safety! Constantly hydrate throughout the hike, bringing with you more water than you think you may need. If it’s their first time, feel free to take breaks whenever needed and do not rush through it. It is also highly recommended that someone knows which route you will be taking in case of an emergency. In emergencies, it is always wise to have a full phone battery, a first-aid kit, and basic knowledge about the general lay of the land.
