TIEN SA PORT TO HOI AN PRIVATE CAR
Meet Your Driver At Tien Sa Port Gate
After meeting your driver, settle into your private air-conditioned vehicle. Before departure, reconfirm your selected stops, the planned return time and your ship’s all-aboard requirements.
Your driver can assist with basic travel questions and meeting arrangements. Sightseeing inside the attractions is self-guided.
Visit Your Selected Da Nang Attractions
Depending on your confirmed itinerary, stop at Linh Ung Pagoda, My Khe Beach or Marble Mountains before continuing to Hoi An. You do not need to visit every attraction. The time spent at each stop will depend on your priorities and the time available before returning to the ship.
- Linh Ung Pagoda (also called Lady Buddha)- located on the Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, is a significant religious site known for its stunning architecture, fabulous panoramic views, and spiritual importance. This pagoda, one of three Linh Ung Pagodas in Da Nang, is particularly famous for its massive statue of the Lady Buddha (Guan Yin), 67m, which is one of the tallest in Vietnam.
- My Khe Beach – My Khe Beach is a popular and beautiful beach located in Da Nang, Vietnam. It is renowned for its pristine sandy shores, clear blue waters, and a range of recreational activities.
- Marble Mountain–known locally as “Ngu Hanh Son” is a cluster of five marble and limestone hills located south of Da Nang City. Each mountain is named after the five elements of ancient Oriental philosophy: metal (Kim), wood (Moc), water (Thuy), fire (Hoa), and earth (Tho). These mountains hold a special place in Vietnamese culture and history, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural significance, and historical depth.
Explore Hoi An Ancient Town Independently
Upon arrival, your driver will drop you off at an agreed location accessible by car. Confirm the meeting point and time before beginning your walk.
Discover Hoi An’s historic streets, traditional wooden houses, temples and assembly halls. You may choose to visit landmarks such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, Tan Ky Old House or Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, purchasing the applicable sightseeing tickets separately.

Meet Your Driver For The Return Journey
Your driver will wait at the designated parking area during your visit. Keep the contact number and a photo or map pin of your meeting point available.
Return at the agreed time so there is sufficient time for the drive to Tien Sa Port. If you cannot find the meeting location, contact your driver and share your position.
Return To Tien Sa Port
