At your own pace and surprise lunch at an oyster farm - superb!
This is a great way to travel if you are visiting the two cities. Of the places we visited, we did not feel rushed at all. That is the benefit of having the private driver. Our driver spoke reallly good English and provided choices and recommendations. Our surprise was having lunch at the lagoon oyster farm. The roasted oysters were so delicious and the setting so peaceful. Highly recommend!

Ba Na Hills and Marble Mountain day tour
Great guide and driver took us to Ba Na Hills for half a day, we had an authentic local lunch and then on to Marble Mountain for a couple of hours. It’s worth noting that there are a lot of steps at both places and it can be tiring in the heat. We were personally more interested in the history and culture of Marble Mountain etc but we still enjoyed Ba Na Hills, a theme park, for the impressive cable cars, Golden Hand Bridge, gardens and the 3D shows. There is also a whole Beer area too.
Ignore the weather app on your phone- it is highly likely to rain on and off given you are in a cloud essentially at Ba Na Hills, take a light rain coat. Both places were very busy due to the time of year on the day we went, so going early is recommended.

Amazing motorbike tour
This motorbike tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Da Nang. Everything was perfectly organized and full of local charm. Riding through Da Nang on the back of a motorbike gave me a whole new perspective of the city — from bustling streets and colorful markets to peaceful coastal roads and hidden local spots I never would’ve found on my own. Bao was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He shared so many fascinating stories about Da Nang’s history, culture, and everyday life, and you could really tell how passionate he was about his city. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Da Nang — whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, or small group. It’s the perfect way to experience the city like a local and learn from someone who truly loves what they do.
