When booking, you can choose from the following private cruise tour options. All of them include pickup and drop-off at the port of Chan May, a guide, and entrance fees to the places we visit. Let’s explore the details of each option:

Hue Imperial City Tour (7 - 8 hours).

After picking you up at the port of Chan May, we’ll begin our tour of the Imperial City of Hue, once the capital of Vietnam from 1802 to 1945.

First, we’ll embark on a 90-minute drive to visit the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh, the penultimate emperor of the Nguyen dynasty. This striking tomb is an impressive sight! Next, we’ll explore the Thien Mu Pagoda, a Buddhist temple with a seven-story tower, standing as a true symbol of the city.

After some free time for lunch, we’ll head into the Imperial City, the former residence of the 13 emperors of the Nguyen dynasty. Finally, we’ll return to the port of Chan May, stopping at Lap An Lagoon if time allows, where we’ll enjoy breathtaking views before concluding our tour.

Hoi An Day Trip (6 - 7 Hours)

Departing from the port of Chan May, we’ll leave Hue behind and head toward Hoi An, also known as the city of a thousand colors.

After a 2-hour drive, passing through Da Nang, we’ll arrive in Hoi An. Our first stop will be the historic center of this UNESCO World Heritage city. You’ll get to explore iconic landmarks like the Japanese Covered Bridge, various temples, ancient merchant houses, and the city’s vibrant, colorful streets. We’ll give you some free time for lunch, and then we’ll reconvene to begin our return journey.

If time permits, we’ll make a quick stop in Da Nang for shopping or at Lap An Lagoon to enjoy the stunning views before heading back.

Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge Day Trip (6 - 7 Hours)

At the agreed time, we’ll pick you up at the port of Chan May to begin our excursion to the Golden Bridge, located in the Ba Na Hills in Da Nang.

We’ll arrive at the station near the Ba Na complex, home to the Golden Bridge, the area’s main attraction. We’ll have the chance to walk across this impressive structure and visit the Linh Ung Pagoda, which features a 27-meter (88-foot) high Buddha. The breathtaking views from this spot are sure to captivate you!

Next, we’ll head to the French Village, the largest area in Ba Na Hills. Did you know it’s inspired by the French Middle Ages? You’ll have some free time to explore the area and enjoy lunch at your leisure. After the visit, we’ll make a short stop either in Da Nang or at Lap An Lagoon on our way back to the port.

Da Nang Day Trip (5 - 6 Hours)

We’ll pick you up at Chan May port and depart for Da Nang. Our first stop will be Water Mountain, one of the most famous peaks in the Marble Mountains.

Next, we’ll continue to the Linh Ung Pagoda, located on the Son Tra Peninsula, also known as Monkey Mountain. Here, you’ll marvel at the towering 67-meter (219-foot) high statue of a female Buddha, the tallest in Vietnam. To complete this experience, you’ll have some free time to enjoy a typical lunch on your own.

Finally, we’ll make a stop in Da Nang for some last-minute shopping before returning you to the port. See you next time!
