FAQs on Day Trips from Hoi An

What is the best day trip from Hoi An?

My Son Sanctuary, about forty minutes west. The brick Cham towers date from the fourth century and the site is UNESCO-listed. Go at opening or late afternoon: there is very little shade and the coach groups arrive mid-morning.

Can I visit Hue as a day trip from Hoi An?

You can, but it is about three hours each way over the Hai Van Pass, which leaves only a few hours in the city. Hue's Imperial City alone deserves half a day, so most people stay a night rather than turning round.

How do I get to the Cham Islands?

Speedboats run from Cua Dai port, about twenty minutes out. Boats are weather-dependent and services are frequently cancelled between roughly October and February, so treat it as a fair-weather trip.

Which beach should I go to?

An Bang is the closest, about ten minutes from the old town, and the easiest by bicycle. My Khe and Bac My An are up towards Da Nang, wider and better for a full beach day.

Is Ba Na Hills worth the trip?

It depends what you want. The Golden Bridge and the cable car are genuinely impressive, and the French village at the top is a theme park. It is over an hour away and gets very crowded, so go early or skip it.
