The Hoi An and My Son round trip
From Hoi An, My Son Sanctuary is a round trip of about 40 km, with the driver waiting 3 to 4 hours while you visit. My Son is a World Heritage site, inscribed by UNESCO in 1999; for this trip what decides the start is not the distance but the opening hours, the performances and how long you want to stay.
Ask for the one-way drive time when you send your request so the pickup time can be set.
Opening hours and performances
The heritage grounds are open from 6:00 to 17:00 year-round, with Cham dance recitals at 9:45, 10:30, 11:15, 14:00 and 16:00. While third-party tour sheets might quote 6:30–17:30, ticketing booths stick strictly to official daylight operation.
Choosing your start time
To stay the full 3 to 4 hours and leave before 17:00, the latest arrival is about 13:00 to 14:00, before buying tickets and walking in the site; this is a calculation from the waiting figure, not a rule of the site. To see a particular show, count back from its time. Detail is in the guide to hiring a car from Hoi An to My Son; the visit to the tower area is in the half-day My Son sanctuary tour guide.
Pickup in Hoi An and extra stops
Cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off; for accommodation inside the restricted area of the old town, the nearest pickup we will verify for your travel date. Extra stops on the way, such as a craft village, are not and we will price and arrange separately.
What is and is not included
- Included: a private round trip from Hoi An to My Son and back, with 3 to 4 hours of sightseeing wait, fuel, road tolls/BOT and parking fees for the listed route.
- Not included: entry tickets to the site and performance tickets, personal meals; time beyond 3 to 4 hours and extra stops we will price and arrange separately.
