Hoi An is more than a town โ itโs a living story where rivers, lanterns, and ancient walls hold centuries of memory. On this private shore excursion, your day begins with ship-side greeting at Chan May Port (Hue) or Tien Sa Port (Da Nang), unfolds with your choice of immersive local experiences, and leads you into the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. If time and weather allow (especially from Chan May), the journey can also include the famed Hai Van Pass, where mountains plunge into sea and the road has been called โa deserted ribbon of perfection.โ
