Bay Islands (Vinpearl)

Nha Trang Bay is the stage for an 'island-hopping' adventure, featuring 19 large and small islands scattered across a sea area of over 500 km². From marine leisure activities like snorkeling and diving to large theme parks, the highlight of this region is the hopper tour that visits multiple islands on a single boat.

The largest island, Hòn Tre (Bamboo Island), is home to the Vinpearl Resort complex and the theme park VinWonders Nha Trang. You can cross the sea from the mainland to the island via the Vinpearl Cable Car and enjoy rides, water parks, and aquariums all day long.

If you prefer the natural sea, Hòn Mun, a marine protected area, is the best choice. It is renowned as a spot for snorkeling and scuba diving due to its abundant coral reefs. Other islands frequently included in hopping tours include Hòn Tằm, equipped with water sports and marine facilities; Hòn Một, ideal for snorkeling; and Hòn Miễu (Chí Nguyễn Island), which features an aquarium.

Recommended Itinerary

For a theme-park-focused day, spend the entire day playing at Hòn Tre (VinWonders). For a sea-centric experience, a popular hopping tour starts with snorkeling at Hòn Mun, followed by swimming and lunch at Hòn Một and Hòn Tằm.

Practical Tips

• Transportation: Access Hòn Tre via the Vinpearl Cable Car or speedboat. Various group and charter boats for hopping tours depart from the city and ports.
• Preparation: Bring sunscreen, aqua shoes, waterproof bags, and motion sickness medication. Snorkeling equipment is usually included in the tour.
• Environment: Hòn Mun is a marine protected area, so do not step on or touch the corals. Entry into the water may be restricted in some areas for protection purposes.
• Weather: On days with strong waves and wind, boat schedules may be canceled or shortened, so please allow flexibility in your itinerary.
