Meet your friendly local guide and set off to discover a fascinating combination of coastal scenery, Buddhist heritage, ancient caves & legendary mountains.

Your first destination is Monkey Mountain, located on the beautiful Son Tra Peninsula. As you travel along the scenic coastal road, enjoy impressive views of Da Nang’s coastline, the blue waters of the East Sea & the green mountains rising above the city
On arrival, visit the peaceful Linh Ung Pagoda, one of Da Nang’s most important spiritual landmarks. The highlight is the magnificent Lady Buddha statue, standing high above the coastline & facing the sea. Take time to walk through the tranquil temple grounds, admire traditional Buddhist architecture, carefully maintained gardens & beautiful bonsai trees
From the pagoda, enjoy sweeping views across the ocean & Da Nang City. Your guide will share interesting stories about local Buddhist traditions, the significance of the Lady Buddha & the spiritual role of Son Tra Peninsula in the lives of local people. The peaceful atmosphere & spectacular scenery make this a wonderful place for both sightseeing & photography
Continue your journey to the legendary Marble Mountains, a remarkable group of five limestone and marble hills traditionally associated with the five natural elements. Before exploring the mountains, visit the nearby traditional stone-carving village, where local artisans have preserved their craftsmanship for generations. Observe skilled craftspeople working with stone & learn about one of the area’s most famous traditional industries
Next, begin your exploration of Marble Mountains. Walk along stone pathways and climb mountain steps, or choose the optional lift for easier access. Along the way, discover hidden pagodas, ancient temples, sacred shrines, peaceful courtyards & scenic viewpoints overlooking Da Nang & the surrounding coastline
Step inside Huyen Khong Cave, one of the mountain’s most atmospheric natural chambers. Sunlight entering through openings in the cave ceiling creates dramatic beams of light and gives the space a mysterious, almost magical atmosphere. Surrounded by natural rock formations & sacred Buddhist elements, the cave offers a unique combination of nature, history, & spirituality
The adventure continues at Am Phu Cave, one of the largest & most fascinating caves within the Marble Mountains complex. Follow its symbolic pathways inspired by traditional Buddhist ideas of karma, judgement, suffering, heaven & rebirth. Dramatic rock formations, narrow passages, sculptures & spiritual stories make this cave an unforgettable part of the experience
