Getting in from the airport
Da Nang airport is right in the city — about 15 minutes by Grab to the beach hotels.
Getting around
Grab cars and bikes are cheap and easy for a group. Hoi An is about 45 minutes away by car, and a private driver works well for Ba Na Hills.
When to avoid
Rainy season runs roughly September to December, with the biggest storms in October and November.
Where to stay as a group
My Khe beachfront for swims and sunsets, the Han River side for food and nightlife, or a night in Hoi An to see the old town after the day crowds leave.
FAQ
Is 4 days enough for Da Nang?
Yes — it covers the beach, Ba Na Hills, the Marble Mountains and a day in Hoi An. Add a day if you want to slow down in Hoi An.
Should we stay in Da Nang or Hoi An?
Da Nang for beaches and easy airport access; Hoi An for charm. Many groups do both.
How do we split costs as a group?
In Da Nang and Hoi An, street food, markets and small cafes are mostly cash in dong, and groups often share Grab rides between the beach, the city and Hoi An. Add this plan as a trip in Tripwith, invite your friends, and log each ride and meal as you go, and Tripwith works out who owes who.
