Son Tra Mountain (Monkey Mountain) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Son Tra Mountain in 2026?

Technically, visiting Son Tra Mountain is free—you can wander and explore the attractions, including the Lady Buddha statue and the Linh Ung Pagoda, at no cost. However, you’ll get a far deeper, more meaningful experience with a guide, and they’ll cover transportation, too. Guided tours start at just US$25.

Q: What is the significance of Son Tra Mountain in Vietnam?

With sandy beaches, dense forests, and diverse (and endangered) wildlife, Son Tra Mountain offers the residents of Da Nang a natural temple just outside their city’s borders. The mountain is also home to the Linh Ung Pagoda and the famous Lady Buddha statue, making it a place of spiritual pilgrimage.

Q: How tall is Son Tra Mountain, and what is its elevation?

Son Tra Mountain is 2,200 feet (670 meters) high; since it rises from sea level, its height is the same as its elevation. Though it may seem insignificant compared to larger peaks, with the surrounding city of Da Nang nearly at sea level, Son Tra Mountain feels towering.

Q: What wildlife can be found on Son Tra Mountain, notably the monkeys?

On Son Tra Mountain, the stars are the monkeys: pygmy slow lorises, rhesus macaques, and the critically endangered red-shanked douc. The mountain is estimated to be home to nearly 300 animal species (including 100+ species of birds), from those beloved monkeys to leopard cats, ferret badgers, and more.

Q: Are there any hiking trails on Son Tra Mountain for visitors?

Yes, there’s one main hiking trail up and around Son Tra Mountain. It starts from Bai Bac Beach, at the mountain’s base, and climbs to the summit, totaling nearly 10 miles (16 kilometers) and some 2,000+ feet (610 meters) in elevation gain. Most visitors complete the challenging trek in 4–5 hours.

Q: How far is Son Tra Mountain from Da Nang city center?

Son Tra Mountain is about a 40-minute drive from Da Nang’s city center—get there via motorbike, taxi, or car. The Linh Ung Pagoda, famous for its massive Lady Buddha statue, is midway up the peak, adding a few more minutes. Of course, if you’re walking the trail from Bai Bac Beach, it’ll take about 4 hours to the mountaintop, depending on your speed.

One of the things I love about living in Hoi An is the fact that there are so many undiscovered gems around the city. As soon as you drive a little outside of it, you will soon see something astonishing and breathtaking. One of the most beautiful areas near Hoi An is the Son Tra Peninsula, which is not only famous for its amazing views, but it’s also lined up with things to do and see. Is a breath-taking national park in Da Nang that stands 693 metres above sea level. It’s a 50 minutes drive from Hoi An, making it a popular retreat amongst locals and travellers looking to escape the heat and busy traffic of the city. Monkey Mountain was a prominent observation base during the American-Vietnam War, housing two radar domes that are now taken over by the Vietnamese military as well as a helicopter pad, which makes for a cool lookout point. That will one of the best experience in Vietnam for all of traveler.

Polina_M, Jun 2026

Great way to check off sights and get to HoiAn!

Good way to get from Hue to Hoi An, while checking off some points of interest along the way. However, the driver was not really a guide (so, not much detailed information about the stops from him) and not super fluent in English (enough to communicate about basic stuff only). Some of the stops are great, though. Really enjoyed visiting the Lady Buddha and the Marble Mountains!

Day tour from Hue to Hoi An, with private driver

An ideal way to travel from Hue to Hoi An, whilst stopping off to see some of the main attractions . Apart from this side of it, our tour guide gave us so much information, not only about the attractions but also about day to day life in Vietnam. We learned a great deal from him. He was very willing to answer our questions about Vietnam itself, but also about his life too. It was a lovely day and we would highly recommend this tour.

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.
