However, it is a blessing for motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians and tourists. The rock, as the cafe’s name means “Old Turtle Rock” with the image of an old turtle. Five stars for the owner named Danh of this place. She is a photographer, a director and a sweet friendly lady. She will make sure you get the best photo at the top of the rock.” Tuc Huynh shared. So even if you travel alone, you don’t have to worry about no one taking photos for you or not taking the right photos.

In pictures, it looks so shimmering and soft. What are you waiting for? Come to Turtle Island in Da Nang right away, my friend?

– Because it is located right on Hai Van Pass, the cafe will probably be a bit difficult to see. The best way is to turn on Google Maps to get the most accurate location!

– Hai Van Pass has many death bends that challenge the drivers of backpackers, so when driving through these bends, slow down and drive carefully!

– On the way, you will see many places to take super cool check-in photos. However, don’t let that stop you from “winning the safe”, pull over immediately! That action is very dangerous! Slowly reduce the throttle, observe the vehicle and pull over to keep yourself and your passengers safe.

– Because Turtle Island is located on the edge, below are trees and steep hills, so be careful when climbing on the rocks to take photos!

– Miss Danh here is a very good photographer, so if you go alone, you can ask her to take some photos for you! Surely the results will blow your mind!
