Chan May Port to Hoi An Private Car Itinerary
The itinerary below is our recommended program for cruise passengers. The exact timing can be adjusted according to your ship’s arrival and departure schedule.
1. Pickup at Chan May Port
Upon arrival at Chan May Port, our driver will wait for you at the designated pickup point at the Chan May port, holding a welcome sign with your full name.
After meeting your driver, you will board your private vehicle and begin your journey toward Hoi An.
Because port access and pickup procedures can vary according to your cruise ship, we will provide detailed meeting instructions before your travel date.
2. Optional Stops Along the Way
Your first optional stop is Lap An Lagoon, a scenic brackish-water lagoon at Lang Co Bay.
The lagoon is surrounded by mountains and offers beautiful views of the coastline. It is a pleasant place to stretch your legs, take photographs, or enjoy a Vietnamese coffee.
You can spend approximately 20–30 minutes here, depending on your cruise schedule.
Cross Hai Van Pass
Next, continue toward Da Nang via Hai Van Pass, one of the most scenic mountain roads in Central Vietnam.
The pass rises between Hue and Da Nang, with mountains on one side and spectacular coastal views on the other.
If weather and traffic conditions permit, your driver can stop at suitable viewpoints so you can take photographs and enjoy the scenery.
Travel note: If you prefer a faster journey, you can choose to travel through the Hai Van Tunnel instead of stopping on the mountain pass. Your itinerary can be adjusted according to your available time.
Explore Marble Mountains in Da Nang
Before reaching Hoi An, you can stop at Marble Mountains, a group of 5 limestone and marble hills located south of Da Nang.
For cruise passengers with limited time, we recommend visiting Water Mountain, the largest and most popular of the five mountains.
You can explore its ancient pagodas, caves, viewpoints, and religious sites. A visit normally takes around 60 minutes, although the duration can be shortened or extended according to your cruise schedule.
Important: Marble Mountains involves stairs and uneven surfaces. If you have limited mobility, please let us know in advance so we can suggest a more suitable itinerary.
3. Explore Hoi An ancient town
Hoi An Ancient Town is a charming UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved architecture, colorful lanterns, historic streets, and peaceful atmosphere along the Hoai River.
The town was once a thriving international trading port, where Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and European cultures came together and shaped its unique character. During your visit, you can explore iconic landmarks such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, Tan Ky Old House, Fujian Assembly Hall, Hoi An Central Market, and the riverside streets.
The narrow lanes of the Old Town are also perfect for discovering traditional houses, local handicrafts, Vietnamese cuisine, and famous tailor shops.
With its rich history, distinctive architecture, and vibrant local culture, Hoi An Ancient Town offers a memorable cultural experience for visitors from Chan May Port.
4. Return to Chan May Port
After exploring Hoi An, your private driver will take you directly back to Chan May Port.
We understand that cruise passengers have a fixed deadline, so the return journey is planned carefully rather than simply following a standard sightseeing schedule.
Before your trip, please provide:
- Your cruise ship name
- Arrival time at Chan May Port
- Required return time to the port
- Number of passengers
- Number of luggage pieces, if applicable
Based on this information, we can recommend a suitable departure time from Hoi An and arrange the sightseeing stops accordingly.
We do not recommend staying in Hoi An until the last possible moment. A reasonable time buffer should always be maintained for the return journey.
