Activities in Da Nang

Nui Than Tai Hot Spring Park is a mountain spa resort 30 km southwest of Da Nang, offering natural hot springs, waterslides, mud baths, and mineral pools surrounded by lush tropical forest.

Asia Park (Sun World Da Nang Wonders) is a large amusement park on the Han River featuring the Sun Wheel — at 115 meters, one of the tallest Ferris wheels in the world — along with rides, cultural exhibits, and a monorail.

The Son Tra Peninsula loop road is one of Vietnam's finest coastal drives — a 40 km circuit of hairpin bends through primal forest with monkey crossings, hidden beaches and cliff-edge ocean views. The peninsula's old-growth forest shelters the endangered red-shanked douc langur.

Da Nang's signature dishes — mi quang (turmeric noodles), banh xeo (sizzling pancakes) and fresh rice-paper spring rolls — are best learned hands-on. Cooking classes typically include a market visit to source ingredients, followed by guided preparation and a communal meal.

My Khe Beach offers accessible surfing conditions for beginners and intermediates, with several surf schools providing board rental, wetsuit hire, and English-speaking instruction along the beachfront.
