Tucked away on the northwest coast of Da Nang, Nam O Reef is one of the city’s hidden seaside treasures — where emerald moss, black volcanic rocks, and clear blue waters create a scene that feels untouched by time. With a Nam O Reef Private Tour from Danang, you can escape the crowds and experience this coastal paradise at your own pace, surrounded only by nature’s sound and sea breeze.
About Nam O Reef Private Tour from Danang
Located about 15–20 km from downtown Da Nang, Nam O Reef (locally called Rạn Nam Ô) lies in Hoa Hiep Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District. The area features two main rock formations known as “Ca Reef” and “Con Reef,” which reveal themselves when the tide goes down. During springtime, these rocks are covered in vibrant green moss, turning the entire coastline into a surreal natural painting.
Unlike busy beaches like My Khe or Non Nuoc, Nam O remains peaceful and raw — an ideal retreat for travelers who value quiet beauty and authenticity.
Choosing a private tour to Nam O Reef means:
- You have full control over your schedule and activities.
- A private guide assists you with snorkeling, photography, and local insights.
- Perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking for a serene, flexible experience.
“Nam O Reef Private Tour from Danang feels like you’ve discovered your own secret beach — no crowds, no noise, just waves, sunlight, and green rocks underfoot.”
Suggested Itinerary
Morning:
Your driver and guide pick you up from your hotel in Da Nang. Enjoy a scenic 30-minute drive along Nguyen Tat Thanh coastal road before reaching Nam O Reef. After a short briefing, you’ll receive your snorkeling gear and begin exploring the shallow coral and rock formations near the shore.
As the tide recedes, the moss-covered rocks shine brilliantly under the morning light — an ideal moment for photography. You can wade among the stones, watch small fish dart through the water, and enjoy the peaceful coastal air.
Afternoon:
After exploring, you’ll head to Nam O fishing village for a fresh seafood lunch — with dishes like grilled squid, steamed fish, and scallops with onion oil. You can also visit the Nam O fish sauce village, famous for its 400-year-old tradition of making anchovy fish sauce. Learn about local life and bring home a bottle of authentic Vietnamese fish sauce as a meaningful souvenir.
If time allows, relax on the nearby sandy beach or wait for sunset. As the sun dips, the green moss and waves reflect golden light — a perfect way to end the day before returning to Da Nang.
