What you can expect

Discover Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam, on a full-day return from Da Nang or Hoi An combining culture, history, and scenic landscapes.

Flexible options are available to suit your travel style. Choose a small group for a more personal experience, a standard group for great value, or upgrade to a private tour for added comfort and flexibility. Some options include entrance fees, while others allow payment on-site; in all cases, your guide will proactively assist with purchasing and handling tickets to ensure a smooth experience.

Begin your journey with a drive along the famous Hai Van Pass, one of the most iconic coastal roads in Vietnam. Enjoy panoramic views of mountains and sea as you travel north, with a scenic stop at Lap An Lagoon for photos.

Arriving in Hue, explore the UNESCO-listed Imperial City of Hue, the former royal capital of the Nguyen Dynasty. Walk through ancient gates, palaces, and courtyards while learning about Vietnam’s imperial history and cultural heritage.

Enjoy a traditional Hue lunch at a local restaurant, offering a taste of the region’s distinctive cuisine.

Continue to Khai Dinh Tomb, known for its unique blend of traditional Vietnamese design and European architectural influences.

Visit the historic Thien Mu Pagoda, beautifully located along the Perfume River and one of the most recognisable landmarks in central Vietnam.

After a full day of exploration, relax on the journey back while reflecting on the unforgettable memories of Hue. This is a return tour returning to the original pickup location in Hoi An or Da Nang. However, guests who request in advance may bring luggage and arrange an alternative drop-off in Hue, Da Nang, or Hoi An, depending on your travel plans.

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors who want to experience Hue’s top highlights in one day with convenient transport, guided visits, and no need to plan logistics.

SHUTTLE BUS OPTION: This option includes a guide only during the journey to Hue via Hai Van Pass and Lap An Lagoon. No guided sightseeing in Hue is included. Lunch and entrance tickets are also not included. Upon arrival at Khai Dinh Tomb around 11:00–11:20 AM, you will have free time to explore Hue independently. If you choose to return to Da Nang, please be at Melia Vinpearl Hue Hotel (50A Hung Vuong Street, Hue City) by 3:30 PM to meet the shuttle bus. Our guide will contact you about 15 minutes before the meeting time. If you have pre-arranged to stay in Hue, Khai Dinh Tomb is the final drop-off point and the service ends there.
