Overview

A private historical day trip from Hoi An to Son My village and My Lai Memorial.

This Hoi An to My Lai / Son My Memorial private car service is for travellers who want a quiet, direct and respectful visit to one of Central Vietnam’s most important historical sites. The driver picks you up at your hotel in Hoi An, takes you south toward Quang Ngai, waits during your visit and returns you to Hoi An after the trip.

The direct route focuses on My Lai / Son My Memorial. For guests who want to make the day more complete, the route can also include a short stop at the Vietnamese Heroic Mother Monument and a visit to Ky Anh Tunnels in the Tam Ky area.

This is private transport with driver. A licensed guide is not included in the car price, but Minh Vu Travel can help check local guide support at My Lai / Son My Memorial and Ky Anh Tunnels if you request it before booking.

Route Options

Choose the direct My Lai route or a fuller historical route with stops on the way.

  • Direct My Lai / Son My route: best for travellers who mainly want to visit the memorial site and return to Hoi An in a comfortable day.
  • My Lai + Vietnamese Heroic Mother Monument: adds a short stop near Tam Ky on the way south or on the return route.
  • Full historical route: combines My Lai / Son My Memorial, Vietnamese Heroic Mother Monument and Ky Anh Tunnels.
  • No hourly overtime: the price is based on the selected route option, not charged by the hour for normal confirmed timing.
  • Extra places: any additional stop outside the confirmed route should be requested before departure for clear timing and pricing.

Suggested Schedule

Sample timing for the direct Hoi An to My Lai / Son My Memorial route.

  • 07:30: Pickup at your hotel, villa or resort in Hoi An.
  • 07:30–10:00: Drive south toward Quang Ngai with a short rest stop if needed.
  • 10:00–12:00: Visit My Lai / Son My Memorial at a respectful pace.
  • 12:00–13:00: Lunch stop by request, paid separately.

Travel Tips

Practical notes for a respectful and comfortable historical visit.

  • Start in the morning: the direct route is easier and less tiring with a 07:00–07:30 pickup.
  • Keep the day simple: if My Lai / Son My Memorial is your main reason for travel, the direct route is usually enough.
  • Add stops only if you want a full day: Mother Thu Monument and Ky Anh Tunnels make the route more complete but also longer.
  • Request guide support early: if you want explanation at My Lai or Ky Anh Tunnels, ask before the trip so availability can be checked.
