A comprehensive look at the Full Day Private Adventure in Vinh Hy Bay offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural insight, and active relaxation. For around $47, you’ll spend roughly eight hours exploring some of Vietnam’s lesser-known gems, with highlights including Stone Park, Nui Chua National Park, and a boat trip in Vinh Hy Bay. Led by local guides and tailored for individual groups, this tour provides a well-rounded taste of Vietnam’s coast and mountains.
If you love breathtaking scenery combined with authentic local encounters, this experience is likely to leave a strong impression. Two features we particularly appreciate are the spectacular views from Stone Park and the opportunity to snorkel in crystal-clear waters—both offering memorable moments that justify the price. Also, the inclusion of a vegetarian multi-course lunch in a lush setting makes this a thoughtful, all-in-one day out.
That said, one possible consideration is the travel from other locations like Mui Ne, Nha Trang, or Dalat—you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point in Vinh Hy Bay, which could add to your overall planning.
This tour suits travelers who enjoy scenic landscapes, active outdoor activities, and cultural experiences in a relaxed setting. It’s ideal for those looking for a day trip that combines sightseeing, nature, and a touch of adventure, especially if you’re staying in or near the central Vietnam region.

The Itinerary Breakdown: What You’ll See and Do
Stone Park (Ninh Thuan Stone Park) sets the tone for the day. You’ll transfer through charming mountain scenery toward the park, part of Nui Chua National Park, where you’ll walk along a small trail surrounded by unusual rock formations and semi-arid forests. The views over the sea are simply fantastic, especially as you enjoy breakfast with a view. Tour guides often mention that the landscape here defies description, with some travelers describing it as “paradise”—a sentiment echoed in genuine reviews. The admission fee is included, so you only need to enjoy the scenery and the company.
Next, the tour takes you to Lo O Stream, where an electric car transports you towards a suspended bridge crossing a traditional Raglai village. Walking through this scenic, colorful hamlet offers insight into local mountain life, and the nearby jungle provides an excellent setting for a swim and fruit tasting. The chance to discover endemic flora and learn about local customs adds depth that is often missing from standard tours.
After working up an appetite, you’ll head back to a vegetarian restaurant for a luxurious five-course meal set amidst lush surroundings. This stop provides not just nourishment but a chance to relax and reflect on the morning’s adventures. The included lunch is a highlight for many, offering a break that feels both healthy and satisfying.
The afternoon shifts to pure fun with a speedboat tour in Vinh Hy Bay. The scenery here is breathtaking—cliffs, fishing boats, and clear waters create postcard-perfect views. You’ll have leisure time on the beach—a perfect spot to unwind, swim, or simply soak in the impressive landscape. The boat trip is operated with free snorkeling equipment, giving you a chance to explore the underwater world, which many reviewers found to be a highlight of the day.

It’s also suited for nature lovers, boasting diverse environments from rocky cliffs to jungle streams. If you enjoy snorkeling and boat riding, you’ll find plenty to love here.
