Visit My Son from Da Nang and Finish Your Day in Hoi An

The Da Nang, My Son and Hoi An programme

Start in Da Nang, spend the morning at My Son Sanctuary, a World Heritage site inscribed by UNESCO in 1999, and finish at your accommodation in Hoi An: the day runs from 8:00 to 18:00 with no return to Da Nang. That gives about 10 hours for the road, the site, lunch and the end of the day in Hoi An.

Planning around the site’s hours

The sanctuary is open 6:00 to 17:00 daily including holidays, and folk performances take place at 9:45, 10:30, 11:15, 14:00 and 16:00, weather permitting. Buying your pass before 15:30 leaves enough time before the grounds close. The programme puts My Son first and then goes on to Hoi An; 3 to 4 hours on site, as in the Da Nang to My Son round trip, is a good guide.

How the day goes (an illustration)

• 8:00: the car collects you at your hotel in Da Nang.
• About 9:00: arrival at My Son, about 1 hour from Da Nang; buying tickets and walking in the site come on top.
• The 9:45 or 10:30 show: if you want a particular show, say so when you send your request.
• About 12:00 to 13:00: leave My Son after 3 to 4 hours; lunch is an extra stop, quoted separately.
• Afternoon: on to Hoi An, with the rest of the day there; the frame ends at 18:00.

The end of the day in Hoi An

The programme drops you in Hoi An, so send the full name and address of your accommodation. Cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off; if it is in the pedestrian area of the old town, meet at a point outside the restricted area as in where to meet your car in Hoi An at night. Check-in time is set by the property; if your luggage stays in the car all day, agree with the driver how to retrieve it. Detail is in the guides to the My Son and Hoi An day tour and the half-day My Son sanctuary tour.

Other options

To return to Da Nang at the end of the day, see the Da Nang, My Son, Hoi An and back to Da Nang tour; to start from Hoi An, see the Hoi An, My Son and Da Nang tour. Flooding risks in low-lying valley approaches to My Son increase in late autumn; consult our storm season itinerary advisory.

Not included in the rate

• Excluded from this package: My Son admission passes bought at the gate, dining expenses; additional sightseeing stops or driving past 18:00 will be itemized separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I watch a My Son performance, can I still reach Hoi An before 18:00?

That depends on the show and the road time, since the day ends at 18:00. Say which show you want when you send your request so dispatch can check your arrival and expected finish.

Does the tour price include My Son tickets?

No. The price is for transport on the programme; entry to the site and other sightseeing tickets are charged by the managing body, and meals are not in the car rate either.

How do I fit in lunch between My Son and Hoi An?

State the place when you send your request. A lunch stop is an extra stop, so dispatch confirms its time and any charge before the trip.

Where does this tour end?

At your accommodation in Hoi An, without returning to Da Nang. If you need to return to Da Nang, use the Da Nang, My Son, Hoi An and back to Da Nang programme.

How are cancelling or changing the time of the My Son and Hoi An tour counted?

The cancellation and deposit terms for this tour are in the Trip terms section. To move the day, for example when heavy rain floods the valley road to My Son, message dispatch as early as you can.
