⭐ Shore Excursion Itinerary: Marble Mountains & Hoi An Ancient Town

1. Pickup at Chan May Port or Tien Sa Port

Your driver will meet you at the agreed pickup point outside Chan May Port or Tien Sa Port. After meeting your driver, you will travel by private air-conditioned vehicle toward Da Nang for our Hoi An and Marble Mountains cruise excursion.

If you require pickup inside the port, please request this arrangement in advance so the necessary details can be confirmed.

2. Explore Marble Mountains

Visit Marble Mountains, a cluster of five limestone and marble hills traditionally associated with the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Explore the mountain’s Buddhist sanctuaries, pagodas, and natural caves. Depending on your walking pace and the areas accessible during your visit, highlights may include:

• Xa Loi Pagoda: A peaceful Buddhist pagoda within the Marble Mountains complex.
• Linh Ung Pagoda: A historic temple associated with local Buddhist worship.
• Huyen Khong Cave: A striking natural cave known for its atmospheric lighting and religious shrines.
• Van Thong Cave: A cave with a narrow passage and a challenging route for visitors who wish to explore further.
• Non Nuoc stone-carving village: See traditional stone-carving workshops near the foot of the mountains, subject to your schedule.

The elevator is included to help reduce the climb, although some areas still require walking on steps and uneven surfaces.

3. Transfer to Hoi An Ancient Town

After exploring Marble Mountains, continue by private car to Hoi An, a historic trading port that developed through centuries of international commerce.

Hoi An is known for its preserved architecture, traditional wooden houses, colorful lanterns, and cultural influences from Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese communities.

Use your included entrance ticket to explore the historic area at your own pace. Popular sights include:

• Japanese Covered Bridge: One of Hoi An’s best-known historic landmarks.
• Chinese Assembly Halls: Traditional gathering places reflecting the heritage of Hoi An’s Chinese communities.
• Tan Ky Old House: A historic merchant’s house showcasing traditional Hoi An architecture.

Please note that individual historic houses, museums, and other attractions may have separate access arrangements depending on the ticket and current admission rules.

5. Return to Your Cruise Port

At the agreed departure time, meet your driver for the return transfer to Chan May Port or Tien Sa Port.
