The journey starts by heading toward the Hai Van Pass, often called the “Cloud Pass” or “Pass of the Ocean Cloud.” Here, you’ll sit in an open-top Jeep, letting the breeze tousle your hair as you ascend along narrow mountain roads with jaw-dropping vistas. The drive along the pass is a highlight, offering sweeping views of the coastline, lush mountains, and the shimmering waters of Lang Co Beach below. It’s a perfect spot for photos—and for feeling connected to this rugged part of Vietnam.

Next, you’ll visit Thanh Toan Bridge, a charming and historic covered bridge that’s a favorite among travelers interested in local architecture and rural life. The bridge leads into a small fishing village where you can observe local life and perhaps chat with fishermen or farmers. This stop offers a glimpse into authentic Vietnamese village life, away from tourist spots.

Further along the route, you’ll explore Nhi Ho Waterfall, a tranquil spot ideal for a quick walk and some peaceful moments away from the busier attractions. The waterfall is small but lush, providing a refreshing setting before continuing on.

Your next stop is Marble Mountain, a well-known natural wonder made of five marble and limestone hills, each representing a different element. You’ll explore caves, pagodas, and viewpoints, enjoying both natural beauty and spiritual sites. The visit is paced enough to appreciate the details without feeling rushed.

The journey also includes a visit to Tam Giang Lagoon, a vast freshwater lagoon where birdlife and local fishing activities unfold. It’s a scenic spot to stretch your legs and soak in the rural landscape.

At Lang Co Beach, you can enjoy the calming sound of waves, walk along the sandy shore, or simply relax while soaking in the stunning coastal landscape.

Finally, at the top of Hai Van Pass, a private vehicle will pick you up and continue the tour to Marble Mountain, wrapping up with a comfortable transfer to your hotel in Da Nang or Hoi An.
