7 day Central Vietnam Photo Tour

Your photographic journey through Central Vietnam begins upon arrival at Da Nang International Airport (DAD). After clearing immigration and customs, enjoy a smooth transfer to our selected 5-star hotel located in the heart of charming Hoi An. Settle in and soak up the unique atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage town, an ideal starting point for our Vietnam photo exploration.

An early start offers exceptional photographic opportunities along Hoi Ans peaceful waterways. We position ourselves to capture local fishermen using traditional methods, casting large circular nets in graceful arcs across the water. Focus on capturing the dynamic motion, the delicate patterns of the nets, and the soft, golden morning light reflecting on the water – a classic Vietnam travel photography scene. This session focuses on capturing movement and the quiet dawn atmosphere.

Start your day surrounded by the lush coconut forests near Hoi An, experiencing this captivating location in the distinct morning light. Well find angles that capture sunbeams piercing the dense green canopy, creating an almost mystical atmosphere ideal for evocative landscape shots or creative portraits. Take in the sounds and textures of the forest before we head northward, taking a scenic drive towards Hue, the historic imperial capital of Vietnam.

Our photographic exploration of Hue starts within the vast, ancient walls of the Imperial City (the Citadel), a large complex that was the political and cultural center of the Nguyen Dynasty. Spend the morning wandering through its grand gates, weathered courtyards, ornate temples, and the evocative remains of the Forbidden Purple City. Look for compelling compositions that show the scale, history, and intricate architectural details of this important UNESCO World Heritage site. Focus on lines, textures, symmetry, and the stories told by the timeworn structures of imperial Vietnam.

Experience the magic of dawn with an early start dedicated to capturing the beautiful sunrise over Tam Giang Lagoon, Southeast Asias largest coastal lagoon system. Photograph the breathtaking sight as the first golden rays light up the vast, calm waters, mirroring the sky and the intricate web of fishing nets and traditional stilt houses (nhà chồ). This quiet setting offers superb landscape photography opportunities, focusing on vibrant colours, stunning reflections, and a peaceful atmosphere.

Our photographic adventure continues early, taking advantage of the stunning morning light with a sunrise session at Lap An Lagoon. Building on yesterdays introduction, today we refine compositions, capturing the calm waters transforming through a mesmerizing range of colours as the sun rises over the mountains. Focus on the interplay of light, the reflections of the sky and oyster farms, and the overall peaceful atmosphere of this picturesque lagoon near Lang Co Bay.

Today includes a major highlight: witnessing the magical sunrise over the world-renowned Golden Bridge (Cau Vang) at Ba Na Hills. Position yourself early to capture this architectural marvel, seemingly held up by giant stone hands, as the first light breaks spectacularly over the surrounding mountains. Often, morning mist drifts through the valleys below, creating a beautiful, dreamlike atmosphere that adds incredible mood to your photographs. Focus on capturing the bridges scale, its unique design against the sweeping landscape, and the changing quality of the golden light – a truly breathtaking sight and a prized shot for any travel photographer.
