Discover the history of the ancient Champa Kingdom with My Son Tour on a guided day trip from Hoi An. We combine a visit to the UNESCO-listed My Son Sanctuary with traditional Vietnamese food, rice paper making, and a boat journey along the Thu Bon River.

Explore the ancient Cham temple complex with our English-speaking guide, learn about its history and architecture, and watch a traditional Champa cultural performance. After visiting the sanctuary, enjoy a Vietnamese lunch and visit a local home to learn how rice paper is made.

Choose our standard My Son tour or extend your experience with a traditional bamboo basket boat ride through Bay Mau Coconut Forest. The extended program includes approximately 45 minutes exploring the coconut-lined waterways with a local boatman.
