Hoi An to My Son by Private Car: Choose a Departure Time by Opening Hours and Performances
On a round trip from Hoi An, the site's opening hours and show times decide the pickup time more than the distance does.
Table of Contents (3 sections)
My Son Sanctuary is a UNESCO World Heritage cultural site, inscribed in 1999. On a round trip from Hoi An, what decides the departure time is not the distance but the site’s opening hours and performance slots, together with how long you want to stay.
Starting rates only. Sun Travel checks the pickup and drop-off points, itinerary and departure time before confirming the trip. Fuel, road tolls and parking are included in the listed route rate. Waiting at pickup is free for 30 minutes; waiting beyond 1 hour adds US$4. Extra stops need separate confirmation. The entry for this route is a round trip with 3–4 hours of waiting while you visit. The base price includes fuel, road tolls and parking on the listed route.
Opening hours and performance slots
My Son Sanctuary is open from 06:00 to 17:00 every day, including public holidays. The main performance hall has cultural show slots at 09:45, 10:30, 11:15, 14:00 and 16:00; there are also separate times at the G group of towers, a programme on the 15th of each month and Cham folk singing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Performances can be adjusted or cancelled for operational reasons.
Other sources give different hours, so check the site’s official page again before you travel.
Choosing a departure time from three facts
- Time on site: the round trip includes 3–4 hours of waiting.
- Closing time: if you want a full 3–4 hours and to leave before 17:00, the latest arrival is about 13:00–14:00, before allowing for buying tickets and walking around the site.
- Performance slot: if you want a particular slot, work back from its time. The one-way driving time between Hoi An and My Son has no separate listed time (the entry is a round trip), so ask when you send the request to fix the pickup time.
