The experience

Your guide picks you up at your Da Nang or Hoi An hotel in the early morning to beat the crowds. After an hour's drive, you board the world's longest cable car (nearly 6,000 meters), rising to the Ba Na mountaintop. From there, a funicular train carries you through the landscape to Le Jardin D'Amour flower garden, where you can pause before the main event: walking the Golden Bridge, a structure famous for its massive stone hands emerging from the forest floor to cradle the walkway. The bridge sits high enough that the view stretches across the endless ridges below.

After the bridge, you explore a mural staircase path over 1 kilometer long leading to the Sacred Garden, with the option to visit the Debay wine cellar (wine purchases are separate) or Fantasy Park, the third-largest indoor amusement park in the world, if time and interest allow. Midday, you stop at two local restaurants in Da Nang City to eat My Quang noodle soup and Bánh Xèo rice cakes: the kind of street food that anchors the city's food culture. Bottles of water and towels are provided throughout.

In the afternoon, you visit the Marble Sculpture Village, where artisans carve and shape marble by hand. You watch them work, then take an elevator up Marble Mountains itself: a formation of five impressive rock peaks. Inside, you explore natural caves, including the Huong Khong cave and a Buddhist temple carved into the stone. The summit offers a panoramic view over Da Nang and the coast. The tour ends around 5:30 p.m. when your guide returns you to your hotel.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Chinese.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (1 to 5 years).

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills?

The Golden Bridge is a walkway perched high in the Ba Na forest, famous for its design: two enormous stone hands emerging from the mountainside appear to be holding the bridge up. It's the signature photo spot on the tour and sits at an elevation where the view drops away on all sides.

Can I visit Marble Mountains and Ba Na Hills in one day?

Yes. The tour covers both sites in a single 7- to 8-hour day, with hotel pickup and return included. The timing works because the cable car and funicular train move groups efficiently, and the marble caves are a shorter stop than Ba Na's full attractions.

What are the two local meals on this tour?

You eat My Quang noodle soup and Bánh Xèo (local rice cakes) at two separate restaurants in Da Nang City. Both are street-food staples in the region, and the meals are included in the tour price.

Is there a surcharge for pickup from Intercontinental Resort Da Nang or Hoi An?

A $17 USD surcharge per group applies if you're picked up from or dropped at Intercontinental Resort Da Nang or Hoi An, in addition to the tour price.
