08:00 – Hotel Pick-Up in Danang
We start from your hotel in Danang, where our local professional guide will be waiting to greet you. We ride along the coast road with sea views over My Khe Beach before directly approaching the center of one of Danang’s most legendary Danang Tours: Marble Mountains and Son Tra Peninsula of Danang Tours.
08:30 – Explore the Sacred Caves and Pagodas of the Marble Mountains
We come to Marble Mountains, an array of five marble and limestone hills that took their name from the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. You will climb Thuy Son, the largest and most beautiful of all, to see:
- The historic Linh Ung Pagoda was built in the 17th century.

- Panoramic views of the coast and surrounding countryside.
09:30 – Visit Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village
Right at the mountainside is Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village, one of Vietnam’s earliest craft villages. There, you will see skilled craftsmen giving life to stone, creating beautiful statue-like Buddhist figures and ornamental sculptures that have been passed down through generations. It is a living cultural heritage and also a good place to pick up souvenirs.
11:30 – Enjoy a Seaside Lunch in Danang
We stop to take a much-needed respite and have lunch at one of the local beachside restaurants. The menu includes such delicacies as sun-dried squid, grilled stingray, and wild greens sautéed with garlic, a delicious fusion of Danang cooking, to be savored by the sea breeze.
13:00 – (Optional) Visit to the Cham Sculpture Museum
For those who are interested in culture, we provide an optional excursion to the Museum of Cham Sculpture, which houses the world’s largest collection of Cham artifacts. Admire statues, reliefs, and religious relics once owned by this ancient civilization that thrived in Central Vietnam.

We then climb to Ban Co Peak, or “Chessboard Peak", a mythological spot where two gods once engaged in a game of chess high in the clouds. At 700 meters sea level, this is one of Danang’s most stunning viewpoints, with expansive views of the ocean, cityscape, and green forest below.
15:30 – Encounter the Red-Shanked Douc Langur (If Lucky!)
As we walk through forest pathways, stay vigilant! The Son Tra Peninsula is where to spot the red-shanked douc langur, which is considered to be one of Southeast Asia’s most threatened primates. The “queen of primates,” as locals have termed them, are truly iconic of Vietnam’s conservation achievements.
