4-Day Hoi An Discovery

Ancient streets, vibrant culture and unforgettable local cuisine.

Day by day

  1. Day 1: Arrive in Da Nang, Hoi An by night

    Meet your driver at Da Nang airport and transfer to your hotel in Hoi An. In the evening, join your guide for a walk through the old town as the lanterns come on, with street-food tastings along the way.

  2. Day 2: Tra Que village and cooking class

    Cycle through the countryside to Tra Que, where farmers grow herbs using traditional methods. Try your hand in the gardens, then cook and eat a lunch of local dishes. Afternoon basket-boat ride through the water-coconut palms.

  3. Day 3: My Son Sanctuary and free afternoon

    An early start for My Son, the ruined Cham temples in a jungle valley, before the heat and the crowds. The afternoon is yours: visit a tailor, relax at An Bang Beach or explore the old town on your own.

  4. Day 4: Marble Mountains and departure

    Stop at the Marble Mountains on the way back to Da Nang to explore the caves and pagodas, then transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
