Hoi An Photo Tour Itinerary

Day 1. Da Nang

After pick-up from your hotel or from Da Nang International Airport, you will be transferred to our 5-star hotel in Hoi An, where your adventure begins.

In the afternoon, we start our journey with a street photography session in Hoi An, capturing the mesmerizing lantern-lit streets. As the sun sets, after complete the golden hour photography session, we gather for a welcome dinner, getting to know each other and toasting to the incredible experience ahead.

Day 2. Hoi An

Early in the morning, we witness the tranquil waters of Hoi An as fishermen cast their nets, capturing the essence of their daily life. The interplay of morning light and movement creates stunning visual compositions.

Afterward, focus on an intimate portrait session with an elderly woman whose weathered face tells stories of resilience and time. The journey continues into the lush coconut forests, where the dance of light and shadow offers endless photographic opportunities. We then document local farmers as they spread sleeping mats to dry—an authentic glimpse into their daily lives.

Day 3. Hoi An

Start your morning in the captivating coconut forests of Hoi An, where morning light filters through the dense greenery, creating a dreamlike setting. From there, we transition to the historic city of Hue.

In the afternoon, the Perfume River becomes our stage, where floating flower garlands from boats illuminate the water, carrying wishes and dreams upon flickering flames. Against the backdrop of Hue’s ancient architecture, we capture the harmony of tradition and nature, weaving a visual tale of central Vietnam’s cultural and natural beauty.

Day 4. Hue

Our day begins in the grandeur of Hue’s Citadel, where centuries-old walls whisper stories of imperial Vietnam. Your lens will explore the intricate details and majestic architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Later, we turn our focus to the Perfume River, capturing the silhouettes of fishermen as they cast their nets. The interplay of light, water, and movement paints a poetic image of tradition and livelihood, set against Hue’s serene landscapes.

Day 5. Hue

Embrace the ethereal glow of sunrise over Tam Giang Lagoon, where golden hues reflect upon the still waters. The tranquil beauty of this moment offers a breathtaking start to the day.

We then explore Hue’s abandoned water park, where models bring life to forgotten structures, creating striking juxtapositions. As the sun climbs higher, we travel to Lang Co Beach, capturing the meeting of turquoise waves and pristine sands. The journey continues to Lap An Lagoon, where peaceful waters mirror the sky’s shifting colors. We conclude our day at a beachside resort, where the night sky unveils its celestial wonders.

Day 6. Hue

Our photography adventure continues with the sunrise over Lap An Lagoon, where the morning light paints the tranquil waters in a mesmerizing palette.

We then ascend Hai Van Pass, capturing the spectacle of a train weaving through the dramatic mountain landscape. As the journey unfolds, we venture to Ba Na Hills, where architectural wonders and sweeping vistas provide a perfect photographic finale. Our day ends at a mountaintop hotel, offering a night beneath a canopy of stars.

Day 7. Da Nang

Witness the magical sunrise over the Golden Bridge, where mist-kissed hills create an ethereal backdrop for this architectural marvel. The interplay of golden light and surreal design offers a truly breathtaking spectacle. This drone photo shoots are done with some special licenses that allow our group to move from hotel to the bridge early in the morning, then shooting the bridge with special permits.

We continue our morning exploration of Ba Na Hills, where rolling landscapes and lush valleys unfold beneath us.
