A Same-Day Round Trip to Discover the Seaside City of Da Nang from Hoi An
After days soaking up the contemplative pace of Hoi An old town, a day trip to discover lively, modern Da Nang is a great choice for your holiday. Sun Travel’s same-day round-trip private car Hoi An ↔ Da Nang offers complete convenience: the car picks you up at the door of your homestay or hotel in Hoi An, goes with you to the well-known sights of Da Nang and brings you back safely before the old town lights up.
There is no need to struggle with several rides or hunt for parking. Sun Travel’s experienced local driver acts as a friendly companion who can look after your luggage and suggest good local places to eat in the Da Nang style.
A Suggested Timeline for a Day of “Touching the Sea and the Sights of Da Nang”
The same-day round-trip programme is flexible to your group’s tastes; this is the itinerary many visitors like best:
- 08:30: The car picks you up at the lobby of your hotel or homestay in Hoi An and sets off along the calm Lac Long Quan – Vo Nguyen Giap coastal road.
- 09:15 – 11:00: Stop at the Marble Mountains complex (Thuy Son) on the road between the two cities. You can ride the lift for the view, explore the strange Huyen Khong Cave and visit the ancient Linh Ung Pagoda.
- 11:30 – 13:00: Enjoy a lunch of Da Nang specialities: pork rice-paper rolls with two-sided skin with fresh green herbs and rich fermented anchovy sauce, or stop at the row of fresh-seafood places along My Khe Beach (at your own cost).
- 13:30 – 15:00: The car takes the winding coastal road up the Son Tra Peninsula. The group visits Linh Ung Pagoda at Bai But, sees the 67 m Lady Buddha statue facing the East Sea and takes in the sweeping arc of Da Nang from above.
- 15:30 – 17:00: Back in the city centre, shop for local specialities as gifts at Han Market or Con Market (Da Nang beef sausage, braised triggerfish, sun-dried squid, Ba Lieu sesame crackers).
- 17:00 – 17:45: Stroll for photos at the Love Bridge and the Carp Turning into a Dragon statue and watch the unusual Dragon Bridge over the poetic Han River in the sunset light.
- 18:00: The car brings you back to Hoi An.
- 18:45 – 19:00: Arrive at your accommodation in Hoi An in time to stroll the old town glowing with lantern light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the group choose its own list of sights in Da Nang?
Absolutely. The itinerary above is a suggestion that makes the best use of time. You can choose other places such as the Museum of Cham Sculpture, the APEC Park, the Golden Bridge (if you go to Ba Na) or a favourite cafe. Talk with the driver or Sun Travel beforehand so the order of travel can be arranged along the most convenient route.
What time does the car stop waiting and end the trip?
The same-day round-trip package serves your group from the morning (about 08:30) to the early evening (about 18:30 to 19:00). If your group wants to stay in Da Nang to watch the Dragon Bridge breathe fire and water on Saturday or Sunday evening (at 21:00), tell us before booking so Sun Travel can arrange the itinerary and state a reasonable charge for the extra hours.
Where does the car pick up and drop off in Hoi An?
The driver picks up and drops off at the door at hotels and beachside resorts at An Bang and Cua Dai as well as villas and homestays in the Cam Chau and Cam Thanh areas, or at the nearest meeting point for a hotel inside the old-town core.
Can luggage or specialities I buy in Da Nang stay in the car all day?
Yes. Because it is a private car serving your group alone for the whole day, all your belongings, shopping bags from Han Market and personal luggage can stay safely in the car while you go into the sights.
