About this experience
Traveling by private car from Chan May Port to Marble Mountain & Hoi An gives you comfort, flexibility, and a truly local experience that group tours can’t offer. With your own English-speaking driver, you can stop for photos, explore at your own pace, and enjoy personalized recommendations along the way.
Unlike crowded bus tours, this private transfer allows you to visit two of Central Vietnam’s most beautiful destinations in one day — the mystical Marble Mountains and the charming Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Enjoy a scenic coastal drive, relax in a modern air-conditioned vehicle, and travel worry-free knowing your driver will bring you back to your cruise ship on time and safely.
It’s the perfect blend of freedom, comfort, and authentic local discovery — designed especially for cruise passengers who want to make the most of their short time in port.
