    3. Hai Van Pass

      Hải Vân Pass is one of Vietnam’s most scenic mountain roads, winding along the spine of the Annamite Range between Da Nang and Hue. Its name means “Ocean Cloud Pass,” which fits perfectly—mist often drifts across the road while the sea stretches out below. The pass climbs to about 500 meters (1,640 feet) above sea level, offering sweeping views of lush green mountains on one side and the South China Sea on the other. On clear days, you can see long curves of coastline and even parts of Da Nang city; on foggy days, it feels almost otherworldly, with clouds rolling across the road. Historically, it served as a strategic boundary and lookout point. At the top, you’ll find the old Hải Vân Gate, a weathered stone structure dating back to the Nguyen dynasty, along with remnants of bunkers from more recent conflicts.

This rare and endangered primate is famous for its gentle nature and distinctive appearance. With its calm, peaceful expression that seems to wear a constant smile, the red-shanked douc always leaves visitors with a sense of warmth and wonder. Ban Co Peak is one of the highest and most scenic viewpoints on Son Tra Peninsula, offering spectacular panoramic views of Da Nang city, the coastline, and the vast blue sea. Famous for the legendary stone chess player statue, this peaceful spot blends natural beauty with local folklore. From sunrise to sunset, Ban Co Peak is a perfect destination for photography, sightseeing, and enjoying fresh mountain air—an unforgettable highlight of any Son Tra discovery tour.

    The History and Beauty of Vietnam

    Lisa and I had an outstanding experience on this history and natural beauty tour. From the moment we booked, our guide Jason personally responded with clear details about the meeting location, which made everything easy and stress-free. On the day of the tour, we were greeted with a warm and personable welcome that immediately made us feel comfortable. Jason was incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnamese history and shared fascinating insights throughout the day. He was always eager to answer questions and took the time to ensure we understood and enjoyed the experience. One thing we particularly appreciated was that the pace of the tour was set by us, never rushed and always tailored to our comfort level. Jason regularly checked that we were able to manage the physical aspects of the tour and was consistently considerate of our wellbeing. If you're looking for a tour that combines rich Vietnamese history with stunning natural beauty, led by a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and engaging guide, I would highly recommend this experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Mr Scott and Mrs Lisa. Wish the best to you. Have a good trip in Viet Nam.

    Great tour and guide!

    Jason was an extremely good tour guide. He took us to all the spots we wanted to visit, was extremely patient and kind. He was very knowledgeable about all the place we visited. Most importantly he wasn’t rushing or always there. He gave us enough time to do our own thing as well. He arranged all the days really well and was a fun guide to have along! Would recommend to all friends and family that visit :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing us as your travel partner. Have a good trip and take care of yourself well.

    Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Da Nang.

    How much does Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Da Nang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Da Nang is not rushed.

    Is Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Da Nang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Da Nang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Da Nang and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marble Mountains, Son Tra mountain, Ban Co Peak & Hai Van Pass start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Da Nang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Da Nang?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Da Nang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Golden Bridge and Ba Na Hills Small Group Tour, Easy Rider Motorbike Tour via Hai Van Pass From DaNang/HoiAn/Hue, Linh Ung Pagoda - Marble Mountains - Hoi An Ancient Town Daily Ingroup Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Da Nang?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Da Nang?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
