Private Car Shore Excursions from Tien Sa Port — Da Nang

• Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge: 30 km from port — 6 to 7 hours total, cable car up, Golden Bridge, French Village, back to ship
• Hoi An & Marble Mountains: 40 km from port — 7 to 8 hours total, marble cave pagodas + Ancient Town walking time, back to ship
• Da Nang City Tour: 10–15 km from port — 7 to 8 hours total, Son Tra Peninsula, Linh Ung Pagoda, Dragon Bridge, city highlights

All three fit comfortably inside a standard 8 to 9 hour docking window. Share your ship ETD and we plan the timing to get you back safely — with buffer.

Ship-organised shore excursions in Da Nang are shared buses with fixed schedules and generic itineraries. A private car from Minh Vu Travel gives you port gate pickup, your own vehicle for the whole day, stops adjusted to your pace, and a driver who tracks the clock against your ship’s ETD throughout the excursion.

Many passengers search for this as a Da Nang Port shore excursion — Tien Sa Port is the same terminal, located on the Son Tra Peninsula about 10 km from Da Nang city centre. Driver meets you at the gate with a name board. If port authority rules require meeting outside the gate at a shuttle stop, we confirm the exact point in advance.

• Driver waits at Tien Sa Port gate with name board — no walking to a bus park.
• Private car reserved for your group only — no strangers, no fixed group pace.
• Itinerary planned around your ship ETD with safety buffer.
• Stops adjusted to your group — spend more time where you want, skip what you don’t.
• English-speaking guide available on request for an additional fee.
• 24/7 WhatsApp support before and during the excursion.

This route is ideal for cruise passengers interested in UNESCO World Heritage Sites. My Son and Hoi An are both on the UNESCO list — two sites in one day. Requires at least 9 hours ashore. Share your ETD and we confirm if timing works.

All itineraries are adjustable. Tell us your interests and ship ETD when booking — we plan the route to fit your docking window.

• Always send your ship ETD, not just ETA. We plan the return timing from your departure — not your arrival. A 17:00 ETD with a 08:00 ETA gives us the full docking window to work with.
• Buy Ba Na Hills tickets online the night before. Gate queues on busy days can add 30 minutes. Online entry is faster and sometimes cheaper.
• Dress code at pagodas: shoulders and knees covered for Linh Ung Pagoda and any temple stops on the Hoi An route.
• If your ship uses a shuttle system to bring passengers ashore, send us the shuttle timetable too — this affects pickup timing.
• A 7 to 8 hour docking window is enough for any of the three main routes. For a 5 to 6 hour window, Da Nang City Tour is the safest choice.
