Monkey Mountain, also known as Son Tra Peninsula, is a stunning nature reserve in Da Nang offering lush forests, pristine beaches, and panoramic views of the coastline. If you want a comfortable and convenient vehicle to admire the pure beauty of Monkey Mountain, you should book Hoi An to Monkey Mountain by private car with a local driver via Vietnam Student Exchange Travel & Transport.
Hoi An to Son Tra Mountain distance is about 44km and it takes us around an hour and 20 minutes to get there by car. Unlike other services such as cartels, grab cars, or traditional taxis, we provide a comfortable door-to-door service with options to explore Linh Ung Pagoda with the tallest Lady Buddha Statue or 5 hours car service to conquer all attractions on Son Tra Peninsula including the Ban Co Peak.
HOI AN TO MONKEY MOUNTAIN BY PRIVATE CAR
Following your requested pickup time, our Hoi An private car and local chauffeur will be ready at your hotel/ homestay/ resort lobby. To ensure you a comfortable and enjoyable day, please provide us your hotel name for pickup and drop off, the number of people, travel date, and departure time.
Traveling from Hoi An to Monkey Mountain, our driver will stop at Man Thai Beach, a wonderful place where you can enjoy the sunshine, admire the local life, and capture great photos of basketboats and small fishing boats.
After that, our professional driver will drive you to explore all the highlights of Monkey Mountains such as
Linh Ung Pagoda With the tallest Lady Buddha
Located on Son Tra Peninsula, Linh Ung Pagoda is renowned for its towering Lady Buddha statue, the tallest in Vietnam at 67 meters. The statue overlooks Da Nang, offering stunning views of the Da Nang city, coastline, and surrounding mountains, making it a peaceful and spiritual destination for visitors.
Son Tra Radar station
Continuing the private transfer from Hoi An to Monkey Mountain, we will visit the Son Tra Radar Station, often called the “Eye of Indochina,” which sits atop Son Tra Peninsula, offering panoramic views of Da Nang City and its coastline. This historic site, used for airspace and maritime monitoring, is surrounded by lush greenery and provides a peaceful atmosphere for visitors to explore.

Ban Co Peak
Last but not least in our private Hoi An to Monkey Mountain by car is the Chessboard Peak. Ban Co Peak, standing at an elevation of approximately 700 meters above sea level, offers incredible panoramic views of Da Nang and its coastline.
This peak on Son Tra Mountain is named after the legend of celestial beings playing chess, adding a mystical allure to its breathtaking scenery.
On Monkey Mountains, there are 2 other beautiful attractions including the Son Tra Light House and the 1000-year-old Banyan Tree but because of safety, the local authority bans all tourists access these places. So on the private car hire from Hoi An to Son Tra Mountains, we just visit the listed amazing spots above.
After all, we will transfer you safely back to your hotel/ homestay/ resort in Hoi An. We finish a private transfer from Hoi An to Monkey Mountain. Vietnam Student Exchange Travel wishes you a great memory with us.
