WHAT TO EXPECT
History Lesson by the Guide

They will take you around and provide you with all the right information. You will feel like you are getting a short but entertaining history lesson.
The Cham Dance Performance
Born of worship, rituals, and mythology, the Cham dance by local Cham people is one of the best highlights of the tour. Dressed in traditional attire, with flowing movements, graceful hand movements, and subtle footwork, these dances were once done as a form of prayer in the temple. But today, they represent the surviving Cham people and their rich history.
The River and the Villages
If you can’t get enough of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can even add the option of a short boat ride on the Thu Bon River, and stops at local villages where you can be a part of short workshops on rice paper making and carpentry. Choose these fun little additions in advance for a better planned tour.
