Turn the Son Tra Peninsula into your playground during a private guided bike tour from central Da Nang. Sail along the rippling Han River and ascend Monkey Mountain to take in exquisite views of the region's lush primeval forest before savouring a well-deserved lunch at an outdoor eatery.

Head out early in the day to make the most of your bike tour on the Son Tra Peninsula. Your guide meets you at your hotel and outfits you with a bicycle and helmet. Following a brief orientation, take off into City centre Da Nang. Bustling with water traffic at the break of day, the Han River is a glittering sight to behold. Cross the river and head for the shelter of a palm-shaded beach with the wind at your back.

From the beach, pump past a fishing village en route to Linh Ung Pagoda. Sometimes referred to as the Lady Buddha, this shrine pays homage to the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. Gaze at the 220-foot (67-m) edifice and enjoy a moment of quiet contemplation before completing your physical challenge. Zigzag to the summit of Monkey Mountain where you can savour a mouthwatering meal with views of the East Vietnam Sea. After refuelling, sail down the mountain and back into central Da Nang.
