Da Nang Shore Excursions from Tien Sa Port
Tien Sa is the easiest cruise port in Vietnam. It is about 10 km from Da Nang centre, Marble Mountains is around 25 minutes away and Hoi An about 45 minutes. Even on a 6 hour call you get a proper day out.
Some ships for Da Nang dock at Chan May instead, about an hour north. Check your cruise documents. Each tour below says which port it starts from.
What people usually choose: Marble Mountains with Hoi An old town (there are a lot of steps at Marble Mountains, some steep), Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge, or the My Son temples if the call is long. We don't put shopping stops in our programs unless you ask for them.
