Full Description

Explore My Son Sanctuary in a small group your way — choose a cultural morning experience with local lunch, or a relaxed afternoon visit with a scenic boat cruise and banh mi.
Enjoy ancient temples, Cham heritage, and peaceful countryside along the Thu Bon River.

Step beyond the ordinary and discover the beauty of My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set in a lush valley of central Vietnam.

Once the spiritual center of the Champa Kingdom, My Son offers a unique blend of history, nature, and culture. Walk among ancient red-brick towers as your guide shares stories of rituals, royal ceremonies, and a civilization that flourished over a thousand years ago.

Surrounded by jungle-covered hills, the atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring. A traditional Cham dance performance adds a cultural highlight to your visit.

This experience offers two carefully designed options. Both include a guided visit to My Son and a scenic boat cruise along the Thu Bon River. Travel in a small group for a more personal and comfortable experience.

Morning Option (Lunch + Cultural Experience + Cruise)
Start at a comfortable time and enjoy cooler temperatures as you explore My Son. After your visit, continue to a local village for a Vietnamese lunch and a hands-on activity such as rice paper or noodle making.

Afternoon Option (Cruise + Banh Mi)
Enjoy a relaxed start before visiting My Son in the afternoon, when the site is often quieter. After your guided tour, take a scenic boat cruise and enjoy a Vietnamese banh mi while passing peaceful countryside.

Both options combine history, culture, and local experiences for a well-balanced journey.

Please note: This tour departs from Hoi An. Guests staying in Da Nang can join by arranging their own transfer (approximately 45 minutes).

Return to Hoi An with lasting memories of this unique cultural experience.
