Itinerary

Between 7:00 and 7:30 AM, your guide will pick you up directly from your hotel in Hoi An’s city center. You’ll join a small group of fellow travelers and begin the scenic drive out to the countryside.

Around 9:00 AM, arrive at My Son Sanctuary, the spiritual heart of the ancient Champa Kingdom. Follow your guide through the jungle-lined paths and explore over 70 towers and tombs built between the 4th and 14th centuries. You’ll learn how this site once served as a royal burial ground and religious center, and see impressive examples of Cham architecture, carvings, and red-brick masonry.

Around noon, enjoy a relaxed lunch at a nearby local home. It’s a chance to taste authentic Vietnamese dishes in a quiet village setting and rest before the return journey.

Lunch

At 1:30 PM, head to the Cau Lau boat station and board a small motorized boat for a scenic ride back to Hoi An. This part of the trip takes you past peaceful riverside views and local life along the banks of the Thu Bon River.

Around 2:00 PM, the boat docks in Hoi An, where a bus will take you back to your hotel. Your half-day adventure ends with new stories and plenty of cultural insight.
