More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Early afternoon thermals lift you gently off a sandy strip and Da Nang collapses into a patchwork of beach, reef, and coconut palms. The pilot runs a few steps, you feel the wing catch air, and for the next 15–20 minutes the city’s coastline slides beneath—Lady Buddha, rocky headlands, and the green shoulders of Son Tra rising behind you.
