Da Nang from Hoi An
The gateway city
Most travelers fly into Da Nang International Airport and transfer straight to Hoi An, about 45 minutes south. A pre-booked private transfer removes the haggling and gives you a fixed price with a driver waiting on arrival, which is worth it after a long flight.
Half-day highlights
Da Nang itself is modern and beachy. The highlights are My Khe beach, the Dragon Bridge that breathes fire on weekend nights, and the cluster just south: the Marble Mountains, Monkey Mountain and the giant white Lady Buddha overlooking the bay, all easy to combine on one tour.
