Hon Mieu is a paradise of marine flora and fauna in Nha Trang. Pay a visit to Tri Nguyen Aquarium to observe hundreds of rare and unique marine creatures, including sea turtles.

Next, you can visit charming crystal-clear beaches around the island and freely explore the surroundings. Besides swimming, scuba diving is among the most favored activities when visiting Nha Trang. During your 15-minute underwater adventure, enjoy being surrounded by blue, crystalline layers of water and admire colorful coral reefs. Slowly gliding around to watch schools of fish curiously figure you out.

After an active morning, move to the Lang Chai in the southwest of Hon Mieu to rest and have lunch. This is where local people make ends meet by fishing and aquaculture, making it an ideal place to enjoy fresh and top-quality seafood at a reasonable price.
In the afternoon, head for the second destination, Hon Tam. This small island is not far from Hon Mieu. To get to it, you continue to travel by boat or canoe.
Hon Tam’s popularity comes from not only its pristine and charming beach scenery but also the largest mineral mud bath complex in Vietnam. Hon Tam mud bath area lies at a favorable location, with its front to the sea and its back to the mountain. With a total area of 16,000 square meters, this place is designed to mimic the unique terraced field model, an iconic landscape of North Vietnam.

Other exciting activities for you to try out are listed: relaxing on Hon Tam beach, checking at the popular wharf, walking underwater to see colorful coral reefs, etc. After exploring Hon Tam, you will get back to the mainland. Regarding night activities, we suggest walking down the Nha Trang Night Market on 46 Tran Phu Road.
This is the city’s most famous night market, opening from 6 pm to 11 pm daily. It is filled with hundreds of booths, each displaying a distinct goods genre, offering a typical Southeast Asian shopping paradise.
Stroll through the food booth area to enjoy grilled seafood sticks or sweet desserts like ice cream or mango rice papers at a favorable price. Then, wander to the souvenir area to pick out a gift for your loved ones. Even if there’s nothing suitable, just immersing in the crowded and lively atmosphere is a great treat.
