Da Nang Port (Tien Sa) to Marble Mountains & Hoi An

Q: Is Tien Sa Port the same as Da Nang Port?

Yes. Tien Sa Port (Cang Tien Sa) is the main cruise terminal for Da Nang, located on the Son Tra Peninsula. You may see it listed as Da Nang Port, Tien Sa Port, or Da Nang Cruise Terminal — they all refer to the same location.

Shore excursion from Da Nang Port — what you need to know first

Tien Sa Port is well-located for both Marble Mountains and Hoi An — a private car covers both comfortably in one day.

Port name: Tien Sa Port (Cảng Tiên Sa) — Da Nang International Cruise Terminal
Tien Sa to Marble Mountains: approximately 10 km — around 20 to 25 minutes
Marble Mountains to Hoi An: approximately 20 km — around 30 minutes
Hoi An to Tien Sa Port (return): approximately 30 km — around 45 to 55 minutes
Total excursion duration: 5 to 7 hours depending on your ship’s schedule

The key advantage of a private car for this shore excursion is timing control. Your driver knows your ship’s departure time and plans the entire day around it. If you want to leave Hoi An earlier or spend more time at Marble Mountains, that is your call — not a group schedule’s.

개요

A private shore excursion from Tien Sa Port designed around your cruise schedule — not the other way around.

이 Da Nang Port shore excursion is built for cruise passengers arriving at Tien Sa Port who want to make the most of their time ashore without the constraints of a group coach tour. Your driver meets you at the port with a name board, and the day is structured around your ship’s departure time.

마블 마운틴 (Ngu Hanh Son) is the first stop — five marble hills with cave pagodas, Buddhist shrines inside the rock, and panoramic views over the coast and Da Nang Bay. From there the car continues south to 호이안 고대 도시, the UNESCO-listed old quarter with its lantern streets, Japanese Covered Bridge, merchant houses, and riverside restaurants. The return to Tien Sa Port is planned well before your ship’s all-aboard time.

여행 팁

What experienced cruise passengers know before this excursion.

Share your all-aboard time, not just your ship’s departure time. These are different — the ship typically stops boarding 30 to 60 minutes before it sails. Give us the all-aboard time and we build the return around that.
마블 마운틴스에는 리프트가 있습니다. for travellers who prefer not to climb the steep stone steps — useful if travelling with elderly passengers or young children.
Hoi An moves fast in the afternoon. If your all-aboard is before 17:00, prioritise the Japanese Covered Bridge, one or two old houses, and lunch rather than trying to cover everything.
The Ancient Town entrance ticket (~120,000 VND/person) covers 5 heritage sites. For a 2-hour visit, 2 to 3 sites is realistic at a comfortable pace.
Wear comfortable shoes that handle both Marble Mountains’ uneven rock steps and Hoi An’s old stone streets.
Bring VND cash for entrance tickets, lunch, and any shopping — cards are not widely accepted at smaller stalls and restaurants in Hoi An.

기대할 수 있는 기능

Why cruise passengers choose a private car over the ship’s organised tours.

Guaranteed on-time return — no exceptions Missing the ship is not an option. Your driver monitors the clock throughout the day and builds the return journey around your all-aboard time with a buffer. If you are running late at Hoi An, the driver will tell you — and get you back.

Marble Mountains — the stop most cruise itineraries undervalue Twenty minutes from Tien Sa Port, and genuinely impressive. Cave pagodas inside limestone hills, incense smoke through ceiling openings in the rock, views over Da Nang Bay. Worth 90 minutes easily.

Hoi An at your own pace No group herding through the lantern streets. Your 2 to 3 hours in the Ancient Town is yours — Japanese Covered Bridge, a coffee by the river, lunch at a local restaurant, or browsing the silk lantern shops.
