Hoi An to Monkey Mountain by Private Car is a wonderful day trip to explore the wild beauty of the Son Tra Peninsula and its famous attractions. As you know, Monkey Mountain has attracted a lot of tourists every year.
Son Tra (Monkey) Mountain is a breathtaking national park that stands at 690 meters above sea level. It’s just a 35-minute drive from Da Nang. It is an ideal place for people looking to escape the heat and busy traffic of Da Nang City. Locally known as the Son Tra Peninsula, the verdant mountain is also surrounded by pristine beaches such as Bai Bac, Tien Sa Beach, Bai Nam, and Bai But.
There are a lot of must-see attractions on Monkey Mountain that we will explore on the trip, such as two radar domes, a 1000-year-old banyan tree, Chessboard Peak, Linh Ung Pagoda, and the helicopter pad.

HOI AN TO MONKEY MOUNTAIN BY PRIVATE CAR
Because this is your private car service so you are the boss, you can decide the departure time. Following your request, our English-speaking driver will pick you up at your hotel in Hoi An. Along the way to Monkey Mountain, we will stop to enjoy the view and capture some beautiful photos of My Khe Beach, one of the sexiest beaches on the planet.
After that, we will check in at the Linh Ung Pagoda on the Son Tra Peninsula. It is one of the 3 sacred pagodas in Da Nang that has the same name, Linh Ung. When traveling to Linh Ung Pagoda early in the morning, it is very common to see a lot of wild monkeys. They are pretty friendly to tourists, so it is easy to make a video or take photos of them.
Linh Ung Pagoda attracts a lot of tourists because of the cool climate. Moreover, you can also enjoy the panoramic views of the ocean and Da Nang City in this area. The highlight of this pagoda is the tallest Lady Buddha Statue in Vietnam, at 67 meters.
Then, we continue the Hoi An to Monkey Mountain by private car and go to visit Chessboard Peak. The driving way is winding and meandering; sometimes the beautiful sea surface is hidden behind the forest trees. Everything makes you excited and a bit nervous. After conquering that emotional road, we reach the peak where the unfinished chess match from ancient times existed and could not be over.
Right on the way to the chessboard peak, there is a turn to get to the 1000-year-old banyan tree. According to scientists, it is the oldest and largest banyan tree in Vietnam. Discovered in 1771, this ancient banyan tree has 26 secondary roots; each root is 25m high, and the trunk circumference is 10m.
With its fabulous height, roots, and trunk, the 1000-year-old ancient tree covers a vast monkey mountain and creates shady spaces to shelter from the rain and sun. It is such an ideal place for a lot of tourists.
Last but not least in our Hoi An to Monkey Mountain by car is the Rada 29 station—Indochina Eye. It is the early warning radar station and air traffic control on the Son Tra Peninsula. The U.S. Army built this station to control the airspace of the entire Gulf of Tonkin, Laos, and Cambodia. At a height of 621m above sea level, it is a great place to enjoy the views of central Vietnam.
