Introduction:
If you ever thought that Da Nang only had My Khe beach, Dragon Bridge, or Ba Na Hills, then the tour to explore Son Tra Peninsula will surely make you exclaim: “Oh, it turns out Da Nang has another world – peaceful, pristine, and so green!”
First impression: The green gem in the heart of the city
Located just about 10km northeast of Da Nang city center, Son Tra Peninsula is likened to the city’s “green lung” – a pristine forest covering more than 4,000ha, where the sea, forest, and sky meet. Here, you will see brown-legged macaques swinging from branch to branch, the cool breeze blowing, and the sound of waves blending with the chirping of birds – a true symphony of nature.
The tour is designed by Sovaba Travel, for those who love exploration, want to “temporarily escape the city” to breathe fresh air and find a bit of peace in nature. Depending on the itinerary (1–3 days), you can choose a suitable tour for individuals, groups of friends, or even families – everything is fully arranged from transportation, guides to fresh seafood meals by the beach.
Must-visit destinations in the Son Tra tour
Linh Ung Pagoda – But Beach: The largest pagoda in Da Nang with a 67m tall statue of the Goddess of Mercy facing the East Sea. From here, looking down is the blue sea, looking up is the white clouds – a feeling that is both sacred and serene.
Ban Co Peak: The rooftop of Da Nang, where you can admire the panoramic view of the city from a height of 700m. If you go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you will see clouds drifting right beneath your feet – extremely worthwhile!
Thousand-Year-Old Banyan Tree: One of the “treasures” of Son Tra, with a trunk so large that several people cannot wrap their arms around it. Checking in here feels like stepping into a tropical rainforest movie.
Tien Sa Beach – Black Stone Beach (Obama Beach): A pristine beach, with crystal-clear water, perfect for snorkeling or simply lying on the sand, listening to the waves.
Nge Point: The first place to welcome the sunrise in Da Nang – where the sun rises from the sea amidst a majestic landscape, making any photography enthusiast's heart race.
North Beach, South Beach & But Beach: Peaceful bathing spots, with clear turquoise water – where you can immerse yourself in the cool water or enjoy paragliding, paddleboarding, and seafood picnics with friends.
In addition, Sovaba Travel also offers extended tours such as trekking through the forest, BBQ picnics, or professional diving – all organized safely, with local guides knowledgeable about every little corner of Son Tra.
