Beschrijving
Explore the Bay Mau Coconut Forest, Marble Mountains, and Hoi An Ancient Town on a guided tour. Enjoy a basket boat ride, visit Buddhist sanctuaries, and take a boat ride on the Hoai River.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel and head to the Bay Mau Coconut Forest in Cam Thanh. Climb into a round wicker basket boat, the kind of vessel that's been used for fishing in central Vietnam for generations. Let your boatman spin and drift it through the coconut palms in a way that defies logic and is completely delightful.
From there, head south to the Marble Mountains: five limestone peaks just outside Da Nang, each named after one of the five elements. Inside the caves, see Buddhist sanctuaries carved directly into the rock. Smell the incense burning, see shafts of light coming through natural skylights in the marble ceiling, and spot monks in residence. The climb is gradual and the views from the upper terraces stretch across Da Nang Bay all the way to the coast.
By 1:00 PM, arrive in Hoi An Ancient Town. Follow your guide through the Japanese Covered Bridge, the merchant home of Tan Ky, and the ornate Assembly Hall of the Fujian Chinese Congregation — three buildings that together tell the story of how a port town at the intersection of Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese trade became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After a lunch break and free time to wander on your own, the evening brings the lantern market on Nguyen Hoang Street and a final boat ride down the Hoai River as the ancient town lights up in color.
