Ban Co Peak

On the peak in a cloudy day, so the city was not visible, however I enjoy the chilly and mysterious atmosphere during the weather, so it’s enjoyable in all seasons. Important note that visitors must go on the military training area (you will pass through a weighted station), the other way near InterContinental is blocked. And more importantly you must not use automatic motorbike to go to the peak, an officer will prevent you from going up by automatic motorbike.

Great views in all directions! I went around sunset, but sunrise would be ideal if you want to get a beautiful view of the city. Had no problems getting up with a manual motorcycle.

Ban Co Peak in Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang, is an excellent destination for a getaway with friends. The fresh air, safety, and the presence of a signature Red Book animal make it a unique experience that requires reservations. The panoramic mountain and sea views add to the charm, and the peak's intriguing story enhances the overall visit. Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a memorable adventure.

The peak is gorgeous, fresh air, clouds sliding around, windy. amazing view, very relaxed place.
On the way, there is a place to have something to eat and drink.
***There is a check point at the entrance, no automatic scooters aloud to enter, only half auto or with gear.
Must rent a half auto from the guard for 200.000dd, the other option is to walk there.
Rent is recommended, it's a long walk.

Definitely worth a visit. The view at the top is amazing, especially on a really clear day. Be prepared though. Most people motorbike up but we wanted to walk up. We caught a Grab to the Nha Vong Canh (the first view point). This is about 3.5km from the summit so we decided to walk from there. Walk wasn’t challenging technically but would need an average level of fitness as it can get steep towards the end. Saw lots of monkeys along the way which was great. View at the top is amazing. But it can be pretty difficult to get back down. Don’t expect to be able to taxi or Grab back down, there are none available. We had to walk back to the Nha Vong Cahn view point to be able to get a taxi. We went up in the mid afternoon and there weren’t many other people around.

Great place to see the whole city but you need a manual transmission scooter to go to the peak.

Amazing place to view Da Nang city , located on Sontra mountain, monkey mountain , you can use the road to reach the peak , no bus service , walk but it will take a few hours, or drive and you will reach in about 25 mimutes, superb view of the city and worth your time , recommend going there if you visit Da Nang !

I had a great experience here. It's always great to go back to nature. It was a bit froggy when I visited. But the view is still awesome.
PS: You will need a manual motorbike to get there though. There is a security point where they ask you to register your phone number and your vehicle.

I had a great experience here. It's always great to go back to nature. It was froggy when I visited. I bet it is fantastic when the sky is clear. I'd love to go back again on summer days.

Amazing ride up on a semi automatic motorbike (You won’t be allowed to enter if you do not have a semi automatic or manual). Some of the slopes are up around 18% grade so if you plan on having a passenger on your motorbike ensure that the bike is powerful to get up as even in first gear on 18% grade a 110CC motorbike was literally crawling up as I had a passenger and a heavy backpack. Views is amazing all the way up but it does get quite cold and windy in the evening so bring a jacket.

Stunning view over Da Nang and even more! (if the weather allows!)

During my stay in Vietnam I went to the City with the Dragon Bridge and took the motorbike with some friends to the Son Tra Peninsula. The visit is for free, you only need to calculate the transport, parking, snacks and drinks. You are only allowed to drive here with manual gears.

The view is amazing. Good spot for taking pictures.

This place is a must to visit with manual scooter, best view of mountain and entire of the Da Nang city.

Spectacular views. Not too many people around and a chance you'll see limas and monkeys

One of the best places to go!
And a MUST VISIT when you are in Danang

Things to take note
1. Automatic bikes are prohibited
2. Get a semi-automatic
3. The route is fairly easy
4. There’s multiple small mini store to get drinks

Go during late may to mid June period so that you can see place clearer

Nice winding roads lovely view points and very fresh air. Didn't see any monkeys probably was a hot day and they preferred the thick tree cover. Chilled tender coconut at the top is a real thirst quencher.worth a visit

Beautiful views and peace here. Can take many photos and relax with some coffee or beer and the many butterflies 🦋

Nice view high on top of the mountain with a chess table if the dieties

Well worth the drive up there. Roads are fine. Views are incredible. Don’t miss it

Cannot see anything due to fog

Fantastic sights of Danang and surround hillside.
There are many lookouts and amazing little locations to see
