Da Nang's bridges and cafes, then Hoi An's lantern-lit Ancient Town on a day trip from the coast.
A short trip built around central Vietnam's two biggest draws — Da Nang, with its beach, bridges and café culture, and Hoi An's lantern-lit Ancient Town, 45 minutes down the coast. You'll spend your days on Da Nang's landmarks — the fire-breathing Dragon Bridge, the Love Bridge on the riverfront, Con Market, and a cup of coffee the size of your head at Dau Ngot — then take a full day trip into Hoi An for a coconut basket boat, the Old Quarter, and a lantern release on the river after dark. Drop-in pickleball is built in for anyone who wants a game — optional, and easy to skip if you'd rather just explore.
Everything below is a sample itinerary. We tailor the pace and the play to your group before you travel.
Every stop on this trip, in one place — the real itinerary is below.
Based in Da Nang the whole trip, with one full day over in Hoi An — easy transfers, no re-packing.
Land in Da Nang and transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to settle in — a walk along My Khe Beach, or just unwinding after the flight. We'll go over the plan for the next four days over a welcome dinner.
A full day around the city. Start at Con Market for a look at local life, then an easy walk along the river to the Love Bridge and the Dragon Bridge — come back after dark on a Saturday or Sunday and you'll catch the dragon breathing fire. In between, a stop at Dau Ngot Cafe, known for serving coffee and matcha in a cup the size of your head.
Depart Da Nang around 8:30am for the coconut basket boat ride through Cam Thanh's water-coconut forest. After lunch, head into Hoi An's Ancient Town — your guide walks you through the highlights, then the rest of the afternoon is free to wander on your own. As the sun goes down, join a lantern release on the river, then sit down to dinner in town before the drive back to Da Nang, arriving around 9pm.
A lighter day. Check in at a cafe with a view over Son Tra Marina, then — if you're travelling with family or just want to let loose — an afternoon at Hoa Phu Thanh waterfall park for the water slides, or a few laps around the go-kart track at Da Phuoc. We'll fit in your first optional pickleball session in the late afternoon.
A free morning — the beach, the market, or one last coffee. If your flight timing allows, we can book one more optional pickleball session before your transfer. Private transfer to Da Nang airport for your onward flight.
