Danang Helicopter Tour Itinerary

So, what’s exactly included in the tour that you should be looking forward to? 

You will go through a security check to ensure that you meet all the health conditions during check-in. Before the tour begins, you are given headphones for communication with the others because it will be really loud when the helicopter takes off. 

You won’t only have the chance to enjoy the beauty of Danang City in a unique way, but also experience the switch of landscapes from the city center and mountains to the spectacular beaches and Hoi An Ancient Town with shining red brick roofs and lovely Hoi An lanterns.  

Exploration Tour | 12 minutes

Set off on your journey from Nuoc Man Airport, which used to be the airfield of the U. S Army. 

The first destination is the Marble Mountains – a cluster of 5 mountains that symbolize 5 natural elements – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The mountain cluster is famous for its legendary origin. People believe that they were formed from the eggshells of a dragon. 

From the helicopter, you can observe the full structure of the Marble Mountains with Buddhist temples, towers and statues.

Surrounding the Marble Mountains is the marble craft village where the artisans have produced many spectacular works of art. 

Next up on your helicopter tour are the 5 bridges along the Han River. 

So-called “The City of Bridges”, Danang City is famous for the unique structures, light effects, and symbolic icons that each bridge embraces. 

• We have the Thuan Phuoc Bridge – the highest and largest of all, at the mouth of the Han River. Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was the inspiration for the bridge, so you might find it familiar. 
• Following that is the Han River Bridge – the symbol of Danang City and the first swing bridge in Vietnam. 
• Dragon Bridge can’t be missed on the list. The dragon is well-known for its amazing performance of breathing fire and water on weekends.

Flying above those bridges crossing the Han River is the dream of every visitor to Danang City. You will have the chance to admire how significant those bridges are from above. 

The next point is Son Tra Peninsula – the green lungs of Danang City. As it’s a natural reserve, the fauna and flora systems are preserved and protected. 

You will find the top tourist attractions such as

• The heliport and radar station that used to belong to the U. S Army;
• Tien Sa Port – one of the major seaports in Danang City;
• Linh Ung Pagoda with Lady Buddha statue at 67 meters high. The statue is currently the largest Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue in Vietnam.

Sit tight and hold your breath as the tour will take you to mesmerizing secret beaches that even locals are unable to reach on foot. Adoring the attractiveness and wildness of the beaches from above will give you this sense of awe and wonder in front of untamed nature.

The last destination is My Khe Beach. It was recognized as one of the most attractive beaches in the world with very smooth sand and crystal clear water. 

People even call it Miami Beach in Vietnam because of how breathtaking it is. You will also find people joining different sports at the beaches like volleyball, surfing, paragliding, or SUP. 

Conquering Tour | 30 minutes

The special offer of the tour is that you’ll be able to admire the beauty of Danang City as well as Hoi An Ancient Town within just 1 tour. 

The itinerary for discovering Danang is exactly the same as the exploration tour. The additional part is Hoi An Ancient Town – recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO since 1999.

Hoi An used to be one of the major international ports of Central Vietnam during the 17th century. Besides exploring its historic background, people traveling to Hoi An usually look for rooftop cafes where they can immerse themselves in the serene view of the whole town. 

Joining Danang Helicopter Tour gives you the unique experience of admiring the spectacular preserved architecture. 

You can see old red-bricked roofs and yellow walls. Houses are at a similar height to preserve the ancient vibe, and people decorate their houses with lanterns in different shapes and colors. 

Lying in the middle of the town is the Hoai River. You can find the peaceful vibe by seeing the locals sailing boats slowly and quietly along the river. Hoai River is also the ideal point to enjoy an amazing sunset with a blend of colors from violet, and orange to red.
