You step out of the minivan and the air changes—salt from the South China Sea, cool mountain mist from Ba Na Hills, and the sweet smoke of coconut fires in Cam Thanh. Over three days you move through three landscapes: the cable-car heights above Da Nang, the agricultural lowlands around My Son, and the clear water off Cham Island.

Protect Against Sun and Spray
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a brimmed hat—sun is strong on the cable cars and boats, and spray will cool you quickly.
Bring Water Shoes
Many activities involve rocky beaches and boat decks; water shoes give grip for snorkeling exits and basket-boat paddling.
Carry Small Cash
Markets, minor entrance fees, and local vendors in Hoi An prefer cash—carry small notes in Vietnamese dong.
