My expectations were certainly exceeded coming to this place. The cave area is relatively large even though it's close to downtown. The religious temples, statues and pagodas are all in great condition. All walking trails lead to great viewpoints of the surrounding area the best viewpoints are more difficult to hike to due to them being much higher. If you have enough time don't bother taking the elevator because you pay each time you use it.

I came by taxi, unfortunately not to the right ticket counter. Number 1 doesn't sell them and the staff doesn't speak English. I find the other office where they give you tickets and a map without explanation. You have to queue for the elevator. At 11.00 a.m. allow 40 minutes. At the top there are some temples and caves without any interest. Only the main cave at the end of the circuit is worth the visit. Here too, plan a visit at dawn or at the end of the day.

I visited the Marble Mountains with my wife and our baby. While this was one of our favorite experiences in Da Nang I would not suggest visiting here with a baby or small children in general. I hat my daughter in a carrier strapped to my chest and we did manage to climb to one if the peaks over hard jagged rocks. In hindsight probably not the most save activity to do with a 9 month old strapped to you, but was however a beautiful climb. The place offers an elevator but it only goes 1/3 of the way up. So if you want the full experience you will need to climb some stairs no matter what. It does get pretty steep at times but on the way you'll see a lot of beautiful statues, caves and temples. I would say most people in normal shape will be able to make it to the top. But if you have trouble getting around I would not visit here.

Easy 2-3 hour excursion from Danang. Can do it yourself by booking a Grab so no need for an organised package. It’s enroute from Danang to Hoi An , so would recommend Marble Mountains & then head to Hoi A for the evening lanterns on the river. Marble Mountains has some nice caves , pagodas & small temples. Best bits are the caves. Avoid the elevator , long queue for it & only takes you up a small section which we walked in 10 mins. Some of the steps on Marble Mountain higher up are quite steep but doable.

Nice place..but its a real shame about all the garbage left lying around. Why do people think it's ok to just leave your trash wherever you want? Too bad the administration does not see fit to provide a few more garbage cans. Supposed to be a National Treasure but not treated as such. Kinda ruined it for me.

We joined a day tour during Tet to this Marble Mountain and a few other places from Da Nang. Everything was included in our tour fees including a hefty Tet surcharge (but excluding extra tips for the tour guide and bus driver which is expected). I think it is worthwhile to join a tour as you will not be harrassed by parking or touting if you go by yourself. Everything was smooth with a reputable tour. I give it a 3 star though because the steps are huge, slippery and dangerous and it is not just a few steps but hundreds of steps up and down like around 600 or more altogether. For those with short or weak legs (small kids and elderly) it is not advisable to climb but there is a lift service with an additional fee which is reasonable at 10,000 VND. If you like temples you may appreciate this place but if you don't there is nothing much to look at except for its history and how it survived the war. There is a scenic view from the lookout point on top of the mountain. If you want to buy genuine marble crafts you should buy them from the factory stores nearby the mountain. Our guide brought us to one of the factories nearby for a 5-minute toilet break but didn't give us time to buy anything from there although I saw some skilled marble crafts that are hand made that are worth buying for that price. I still regretted not having it. If you are interested about real marble crafts do go to the factories around that area but not the shops in Marble Mountain for they sell cheap souvenirs.

Recommended for sightseeing in Da Nang and Hoi An. There is an elevator, but you can also climb the stairs. Please visit the deepest cave when the light is coming in. It will take about 2 to 3 hours to go around the whole cave.

We throughly enjoyed going here and seeing the monuments. It’s a unique, beautiful place only a short distance from downtown Da Nang. A few notes before you go: Stairs - There are 100s of them in all shapes and sizes and they can get slippery. I agree with others you should not visit if you have trouble with them. Crowds - It can get VERY busy. Patience (especially in the stairs) can be required at times. Time of Day - To maximize the experience, know when the sun will approach or be over the cave to create the light rays (seen in most ads).

We made it! It's a hike up and down uneven steps, not recommended for older folks like us. The 15,000 Dong elevator only goes halfway up the trek, so you'll still need to walk farther if you want to explore the place. Be forewarned that the elevator shuts down at 5 PM, so plan accordingly.

It's a couple of dollars to get in, another dollar if you want to take the elevator, another dollar if you want to visit the big cave. The steps are steep, irregular, and some are slippery so it's not a good place if you have mobility issues. There are many pagodas and cool little nooks. There are also a number of caves. To get to the top, the heaven's gate, it's a bit of a tight squeeze. The large cave only has the waterfalls during the rainy season. Even though it's a major tourist attraction, it wasn't that busy. The climb up to heaven's gate was the only bottleneck. There are a couple of great views but most have the city of Danang in the background.
