From Nha Trang: Tour 3 Islands of Nha Trang VIP

If you’re dreaming of a day spent exploring Vietnam’s stunning coastlines, this VIP tour of Nha Trang’s three islands delivers. For $181 per person, you’ll spend about six hours visiting Hon Mieu, Hon Tam, and the charming coastal fishing villages. This is an ideal outing if you love a mix of relaxing beaches, fun water activities, and therapeutic mud baths — all with a touch of comfort and good organization.

One of the highlights we appreciate is how well the tour balances activity and leisure — you get enough time to swim, sunbathe, and sample fresh seafood without feeling rushed. And the boat, described as clean and new, makes for a comfortable journey across the bay. Another aspect we really liked is the enthusiastic, friendly guides who seem genuinely eager to enhance your experience.

A small consideration: the schedule is weather-dependent, so plans might shift if conditions aren’t ideal. It’s also worth noting that some activities, like water sports, are costs excluded — so if you’re eager to try, be prepared for extra expenses. This tour suits travelers looking for a full, fun day on the water with good value, especially those who appreciate authentic local flavors and scenic views.

The Itinerary: What to Expect

Starting with a pick-up at your hotel or a designated meeting point, the journey begins with a scenic ride to Nha Trang port. From there, a new, clean boat awaits, ready to whisk you across the bay for a day of adventure. The tour’s structure is thoughtfully divided into three key stops, each offering something unique.

Stop 1: Bai Tranh on Hon Mieu Island

At around 9:30 AM, your first stop is Bai Tranh on Hon Mieu Island, a tranquil stretch of beach where you’re free to swim, lie in the sun, or try water sports like banana floats, water motorbiking, or even parasailing (costs extra). The water is described as cool and inviting, perfect for a quick dip after the boat ride. You’ll have about two hours here, giving enough time to relax without feeling rushed.

Travelers often mention the stunning views of the bay from this spot — calm waters bordered by lush islands — creating picture-perfect moments. One reviewer said, “We loved the way the waters shimmered and the peaceful atmosphere made it worth every minute.” The beach here is relatively uncrowded, perfect for some quiet time or soaking in the scenery.

Stop 2: Hon Mieu Island for Lunch

Around 11:30, it’s time for a delicious lunch at a floating restaurant located on Hon Mieu. Here, you’ll enjoy fresh seafood dishes like steamed shrimp with lemongrass, Thai-style clams, deep-fried fish, and stir-fried squid. The food is noted for its freshness and flavorful preparation, making it a highlight for many guests. The meal includes rice, iced tea, and dessert, offering a satisfying break from water activities.

One guest noted, “The seafood was so fresh and flavorful, it felt like a true local experience.” The setting—floating on the bay—adds to the charm, providing a spectacular view of the water while you dine.

Stop 3: MerPerle Hon Tam Mud Bath

Post-lunch, around 1:00 PM, a high-speed boat whisks you to Hon Tam Island for a mud bath experience. This stop is renowned for its hot mineral mud baths, which are believed to have therapeutic benefits. You can float in natural pools, take pictures of the island’s natural beauty, or just enjoy the relaxing warmth of the mud.

Guests rave about the quality of the facilities, including swimming pools, waterfalls, and nature scenery. It’s a good way to wind down after the morning’s activities. The admission is included, making this a good value.

Return and Reflection

After about two hours on Hon Tam, you’ll return to the port, completing your six-hour journey. The tour’s schedule is flexible enough to accommodate changing weather conditions, but it’s advisable to keep an eye on the forecast if you’re planning ahead.

Why This Tour Stands Out

The combination of scenic beauty, local flavor, and comfort makes this tour appealing. Unlike some rush-packed trips, this VIP experience offers ample time at each stop, so you don’t feel hurried. The fresh food, friendly guides, and well-maintained boat all contribute to a sense of quality and care.

Authentic Experiences

Travelers often highlight the authenticity of the seafood lunch and the chance to visit peaceful fishing villages, giving a glimpse into local life. Seeing the natural beauty of the islands — crystal-clear waters, lush green hills — is truly rewarding.

Practical Details and Value

While the price of $181 might seem steep at first glance, it includes all entrance fees, lunch, transfers, and mud bath tickets. The transportation is air-conditioned and comfortable, while the tours guides are multilingual, making this accessible for international visitors.

Considerations

A key point to remember is that activities like water sports have extra costs, so if you’re eager to try, prepare for additional expenses. Also, because the schedule is weather-dependent, some plans may change, which can affect your day.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

This experience is best suited for those who want a well-rounded day on the water—from swimming and relaxing on the beach, to enjoying local cuisine and soothing mud baths. Families, couples, or small groups looking for a comfortable, authentic adventure will find this appealing.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

For travelers seeking a balanced mix of relaxation, adventure, and local flavor, this VIP tour of Nha Trang’s three islands offers excellent value. The scenic views, fresh seafood, and therapeutic mud baths stand out as memorable highlights. It’s a great way to see the natural beauty of Nha Trang without sacrificing comfort or authenticity.

While it’s not the cheapest option, the inclusion of meals, entrance fees, and smooth transportation makes it a hassle-free way to experience some of Vietnam’s most picturesque islands. If you’re someone who appreciates laid-back days with plenty of photo opportunities and a taste of local life, this tour could be just right.
