- The Marble Mountains - The tour begins in the morning when the guide picks up participants from the hotel. The first stop is Marble Mountain, also known as Ngu Hanh Son, a cluster of five hills composed of limestone and marble, resembling five fingers near the sea. The site features numerous caves, caverns, pagodas, many stairs, and two breathtaking viewpoints. It is also home to several Buddhist sanctuaries and Hindu grottoes, which are popular places of worship for the local community. At the base of the mountains lies a traditional marble fine art village, over 300 years old, where visitors can admire the skilled craftsmen, their creativity, and their uniquely beautiful works. After bidding farewell to the Marble Mountains, the tour returns to a local family for a Vietnamese lunch.
Following lunch, the tour proceeds to Am Phu Cave (the Hell Cave), where participants will learn about many fascinating Buddhist philosophies. The Am Phu Cave offers a harmonious blend of folklore and Buddhism’s valuable philosophy of humanity.
- Son Tra Peninsula - The tour continues with a return to the bus to explore Monkey Mountain, where participants can enjoy a panoramic view of Da Nang from a high vantage point. At Monkey Mountain, visitors will explore Linh Ung Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in Da Nang City, and see the tallest Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Lady Buddha) statue in Vietnam, standing at 67 meters. There is ample time for photography and relaxation in this beautiful area, and with some luck, many monkeys can be seen around the pagoda.
The tour concludes with a transfer back to the hotel in Hoi An and Da Nang.

Fast paced, half day tour to take in key sights - Cam was full of energy and always smiling. He led the tour at pace whilst ensuring we saw the key highlights and sights. He was well informed and provided detail on what we were seeing and some of the Vietnamese history. We were only a small group of 6 which was great. The sunset view at the end of the tour was beautiful.

Marble and monkey mountain - We booked this trip and we were blessed to be 1 of 2 couples, so had a very intimate tour with a great tour guide named Paul. His gentle yet informative approach of telling the history through stories was wonderful. He guaged the speed to walk the steps to be inclusive to all. He also had a great sense of humour, which was appreciated

I strongly advise! - Very good guide who speaks very good English! He understands every one of our questions. He is funny and nice! I strongly advise to spend a pleasant day between small committee!
Only downside, we spend 20min in local shops for tourists and at the end 5min to see the monkeys while it is an unforgettable experience that requires patience.
Thank you! for everything we learned about Vietnamese culture through him!

Beautiful - It's really lovely! You see 3 beautiful places and the tour guide Paul is super friendly and goes to great lengths to explain everything as well as possible. If you are very lucky you might even see monkeys at Monkey Mountain. All in all a wonderful trip and Paul as a guide is really highly recommended!!!

- We had an amazing day trip with Quyen – or as we called her, Queen, because she truly is the queen of tour guides! 🌟 From start to finish, she was kind, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable. She didn’t just guide us through the stunning Marble Mountains and Monkey Mountain, she also gave us a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture, history, and daily life.
Quyen’s passion for her country really shone through, and she made every moment engaging and enjoyable. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a local friend who genuinely wanted us to experience the best of Vietnam.
We would definitely recommend this day trip 😊

Vietnamese culture and beliefs - It was an incredible experience! I highly recommend anyone who wants to explore a bit of the beliefs practiced in Vietnam. I wanted to thank in particular our guide Lin, was 5 ⭐️ and besides worried, super active and dispatched. Helped us with transporting the bags from one city to another, it was TOP! Thank you

Great organisation, but head North for better mountains - The tour was fine, but I feel it was probably something you can do on your own with a couple of Grabs and a short queue for tickets at each location. Aside from that, it didn't seem like a day well spent. The lady Buddha area is pretty but nothing spectacular. The view back towards Da Nang was probably the highlight of the day. The marble mountains were also pretty from the outside but the caves inside have become very touristy. They would be amazing natural wonders but now they're draped in neon and painted statues of little devils, they just felt very overdone. You're better off spending a day in Hoi An, and if you want to see actually impressive mountains and caves then head north to Phong Nha. Outside of the sights seen on this tour, the guide and the organisation of the group was fantastic.
