Son Tra Road Trip: Da Nang's Most Scenic Coastal Drive

7 min 14202

Son Tra Peninsula is just 15 minutes' drive from Da Nang center but delivers an incredible road trip: winding coastal roads, primeval forest, pristine beaches, and encounters with rare red-shanked douc langurs. A must-do for any Da Nang visitor.

Morning Half-Day Itinerary

5:30 AM — Depart for Ban Co Peak to watch sunrise. 6:30 — Drive through forest looking for langurs (bring binoculars). 7:30 — Linh Ung Pagoda, check-in at the 67m Lady Buddha. 8:30 — Bai But beach for swimming and beachside breakfast.

What Should You Rent?

Motorbikes (150,000-200,000 VND/day) are most flexible but steep hairpin turns need experience. A 4-7 seat car with driver (800,000-1,200,000 VND) is safer, especially for families. Local drivers know where langurs are most active.
