Da Nang to Hoi An Private Car Transfer: 30-45 MinYou're picked up at Da Nang Airport, train station, or hotel and driven directly to your Hoi An accommodation in a private, air-conditioned car. The 30-35km journey takes 30-45 minutes and includes all fees, tolls, and luggage. You can request brief stops along the way if you want, and the driver waits for you to be ready before leaving.Is it for me?Choose this if you're traveling with luggage, children, or a group and want to skip the taxi queue or bus schedule—the fixed price and door-to-door pickup mean the 30-minute drive is settled before you land.
Hoi An to My Son Sanctuary: Shuttle Bus & UNESCO TemplesYou board a shuttle at 8am or 1pm from central Hoi An and travel 50 kilometers to My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO-listed complex of 70+ Hindu temples built by the ancient Champa civilization.

The whole day runs about ten hours and includes all entry fees, boat rides, transport and an English-speaking guide.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see a major Buddhist pilgrimage site without arranging transport, boat hire or entry fees yourself — the full-day structure and included guide handle the logistics, which is what makes a steep mountain trek feel manageable instead of stressful.
Bach Ma National Park: Guided Trek, Lakes & Waterfall LunchYou’ll hike through Bach Ma National Park with a local guide from Hue, ring a bell above cloud-wrapped valleys, swim or relax by one of five forest lakes after a picnic lunch, and stand at the edge of Do Quyen waterfall’s roar.
