Day Trips from Danang
The best excursions and trips you can do in a day
Full-Day Trips
Worth dedicating a whole day to explore.
Hoi An Ancient Town
$15-20 including transport and lunchThe former trading port is a silk scroll, ochre walls, lantern shimmer on the Thu Bon River. Morning light on the Japanese Covered Bridge paints everything honey-gold; photographers will mortgage their lenses for it.
Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge
$35-45 including cable car ticketThis mountaintop playground floats above the clouds at 1,400 meters, where a 150-year-old French hill station collides with modern theme parks. The Golden Bridge held by stone hands is just the opening act.
My Son Sanctuary
$20-25 including transport and entryHindu temple ruins older than Angkor Wat by centuries crouch in a valley where dawn fog hugs brick towers dressed in jungle moss. The Cham stonework here whispers of a civilization few travelers ever meet.
Hai Van Pass & Lang Co Beach
$30-40 for motorbike tour including lunchVietnam's most celebrated coastal drive switchbacks through hairpins with the South China Sea glittering below, finishing at a pristine lagoon where fishermen still paddle coracle boats.
Marble Mountains & Non Nuoc Beach
$10-15 including elevator and lunchFive limestone fangs erupt from the coastal plain like dragon teeth, sheltering Buddhist grottoes and cave temples scented with incense and wet stone. The nearby beach serves up surf when the swell cooperates.
Bach Ma National Park
$40-50 including park fees and guideAn abandoned French hill station at 1,450m wrapped in cloud forest, waterfalls, and empty villas where colonial officers once fled the lowland heat. The hiking paths feel like walking into a lost atlas page.
Half-Day Options
Shorter excursions when time is limited.
Son Tra Peninsula & Linh Ung Pagoda
$8-12 including motorbike rentalA monkey-packed peninsula thrusts into the sea, crowned by a 67-meter Lady Buddha keeping watch over Danang's fishing fleet. The climb serves city views that sharpen with every hairpin.
Than Tai Hot Springs
$15-20 including all poolsNatural hot springs where you can wallow in mineral pools ringed by jungle, plus a water park bolted on for kids who need slides with their soak.
Thanh Binh Beach & Fishing Village
$5-10 for food and drinksWhere Danang locals swim, real fishing boats hauled onto sand, families grilling squid over tiny charcoal braziers at sunset.
