Than Tai Hot Spring Park Day Trip from Da Nang with Lunch

Summary

Relaxing Day at Than Tai Hot Springs & Water Park Near Da Nang

If you’re looking for an easy escape from Da Nang’s bustle, this day trip lets you soak in mineral-rich pools, try quirky local snacks, and unwind with water park fun—all without worrying about transport or planning. It’s simple relaxation with a few surprises thrown in.

What’s the experience like?

The morning air in Da Nang felt a bit cool as we waited in the hotel lobby—our guide showed up right on time, just after 7:15. The drive out to Than Tai Hot Spring Park took about half an hour; you’ll notice the city noise fading into green hills along the way. Our guide chatted about local legends and pointed out a tiny roadside stall selling sticky rice cakes—apparently a favorite snack for drivers here.

At the park entrance, we hopped onto one of those electric carts that zip you straight to the main pool area. The first thing that hit me was the faint smell of minerals in the steam rising off the water. We tried out the Jacuzzi lake—warm bubbles everywhere—and then drifted over to Long Tien cave where kids were already splashing around under these giant mushroom fountains. If you’re into quirky experiences, don’t skip boiling eggs in the natural hot spring (you buy them at a little kiosk nearby). I didn’t expect it, but cracking open a hot spring egg while sitting on a stone bench is oddly satisfying.

There’s plenty of space if you want some quiet—private bath areas offer everything from herbal soaks to Japanese-style onsen. I watched a couple next to me try a mud bath and come out looking like they’d had way too much fun. Around noon, we gathered for lunch at the park’s restaurant—nothing fancy, but filling: rice, grilled chicken, some local greens. Afterward, most folks headed back to the water park section for slides and games; I just lounged by the pool with an iced tea and listened to kids laughing nearby.

By mid-afternoon, it was time to head back. The ride home felt slower somehow—maybe it was just that relaxed feeling from soaking all day. We were dropped off at our hotel by 3:30pm, still smelling faintly of minerals but totally refreshed.
