Da Nang’s best days out.
Our pick of the 10 best cruises & boat tours around Da Nang and the central coast. Each one with the price, how long it runs and the operator you book through, plus a straight read on what the day actually delivers.
Da Nang Han River night cruise for $6 with a short dance, city lights, and the 9PM Dragon Bridge fire and water show weekends.
Most Popular“Awesome Cruise with great views of the lights and beautiful Dragon Bridge!”
90-minute Han River night cruise in Da Nang with Dragon Bridge fire-and-water show on weekends, plus onboard dance and bar access.
“Great experience for great value. Highly recommend for a great view of the Dragon Bridge show and general river cruise. Arrive early to get a good seat on top deck.”
My Son sunset tour from Hoi An with a small group, guided temple ruins, and a Thu Bon boat ride with banh mi onboard.
“The excursion to my son’s sanctuary was, statistically speaking, near optimal. Transportation punctual, tour guide demonstrated encyclopedic knowledge, coordination flawless. Boat ride adhered to hydrodynamic expectations. Culinary segment nullified due to meteorological interference—an acceptable anomaly. Overall, experience achieved maximal satisfaction within controllable variables. Highly recommended, with minor uncontrollable caveats.”
Poseidon dinner cruise on Da Nang’s Han River with Apsara dance, DJ party, and the Dragon Bridge fire-and-water show on Fri-Sun.
“Lovely evening on Poseidon cruise da Nang to the dragon bridge”
