Nha Trang islands: which tour to choose
Nha Trang island tours compared: southern islands from $38, northern islands from $35, Hon Tam from $45, Doi Dep from $75, Soi beach $38, a sailboat and a private boat. Who each one suits.
The islands differ more than the photos suggest. One day is about coral and a mask, another about a zoo and shows, a third about a quiet beach.
Southern islands — from $38
7:00–16:00, group from 10. A morning boat to Hon Mun with about ninety minutes of snorkeling and fishing, lunch on Hon Mieu, then Hon Tam and the beach. Lunch and insurance are included. Who it suits: people who can swim and want coral.
Northern islands, Nha Phu bay — from $35
7:00–16:00, group from 10. Orchid Island and Monkey Island: a beach, a butterfly garden, a petting zoo and animal shows. Lunch and insurance are included. Who it suits: families with children. There is no coral snorkeling.
Hon Tam — adult $45, child $35
One southern island: a mask and a beach, without the zoo and without the long three-island day. Who it suits: people who want the sea without a packed route.
Doi Dep — adult $75, ages 3–11 $55
Two beaches and an aquarium, drinks without a limit. Good for: people who want an island with facilities. It will not feel like a wild coral day.
Soi beach — $38
An island with swimming at a coral reef. Shorter and quieter than the three southern islands. No zoo and no show. Good for: people who want one clean swim.
Sailboat — $75
8:00–14:00 or 14:00–19:00, 1–20 people. Half a day under sail past Hon Mieu, Hon Tam and Vinpearl island. Crew, food, drinks, fishing, snorkeling, paddleboards and the transfer are included. Good for: a small group that does not want a 40-seat boat. If budget matters more than the sail, the southern islands are $38.
Your own boat to Hon Mun and Hon Tam — from $450
Snorkeling, mud baths and a buffet lunch. The price is for the departure, not per person, so it pays off for a group.
