Q1: What happens if the tour is delayed and I miss my cruise ship departure?

A: We offer a Guaranteed On-Time Return for all our shore excursions. Our itinerary is meticulously timed, and our expert team monitors your ship’s schedule throughout the day. In the highly unlikely event that our fault causes you to miss the ship, we will arrange and cover the expense of your travel to the next port of call. This guarantee ensures your peace of mind.

Q2: How far is Chan May Port from the attractions in Da Nang?

A: The distance from Chan May Port to Da Nang City is approximately 45 km. The transfer time is generally 1.5 to 2 hours, which includes scenic photo stops at locations like Lang Co Bay and the Hai Van Pass. This is factored into our full-day itinerary (typically 7–9 hours).

Q3: Where exactly will I meet my guide and driver at the port?

A: Our standard service includes meeting you just outside the main port gate (approximately 500m from the cruise pier). Your guide will be holding a personalized welcome sign. We can arrange pick-up directly at your ship’s gangway, but this requires an additional fee (approx. $25 per person) for the port customs permit.

Q4: Can I customize the itinerary, for example, by adding Hoi An or Ba Na Hills?

A: Our standard Chan May Port to Da Nang Tour is optimized for the Hai Van Pass and Marble Mountains to ensure a timely return. While we offer other separate excursions to Hue, Hoi An, or Ba Na Hills, adding them to this specific itinerary is not feasible due to the time constraints of a single port call. Our suggested itinerary maximizes the quality of your limited time ashore.

Q5: What is the dress code for visiting the Marble Mountains?

A: The Marble Mountains contain several sacred Buddhist temples and pagodas. We kindly ask that guests cover their knees and shoulders out of respect when entering these religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes are also highly recommended for navigating the mountain paths and caves.
