The southern islands of Nha Trang are 19 islands. The most visited of them are the 3 closest to the city.
Excursions there are one of the most popular in Nha Trang. Northern Isles near Nha Trang are more suitable for entertainment, and the southern ones are the territory have a relaxing holiday for the soul.
An excursion is the most convenient way to visit the southern islands of Nha Trang. You can order it from one of local companies, for example, in AlfaTours. The excursion will cost approximately 7-8 US dollars, although companies providing Russian-speaking guides charge higher rates (at least 30% higher). However, anyone who has even a mediocre command of English language, an English-speaking guide will be sufficient.
How to get to the southern islands
Visiting the southern Nha Trang Islands on your own is also not difficult. Near the station cable car leading to one of the islands, there are piers with ticket offices selling tickets.
Hon Mieu Island
On this island is the Tri Nguen Aquarium, which is shaped like a sailboat. You can visit it for $4. This aquarium has a rather spectacular appearance and looks like the Flying Dutchman ship. It is also somewhat similar to the “madhouse” in Dalat, but its internal contents are not very impressive, especially against the backdrop of the aquarium on.
Children may be interested in the opportunity to feed the predatory fish here themselves. The fish in the pool are up to 2 m in size. To treat them, meat is tied to a fishing rod, which is then lowered into the water. When the fish takes the treat, a sharp pop is heard.
Hon Mun Island
Boat Nha Trang - Hong Mun
Boats go to Mun Island from Vietnam.
Bay on the island Hong Moon
Hon Mun Island attracts with its picturesque landscapes, silence, and lack of city noise. Comfortable sun loungers are provided for tourists, and local cafes offer typical Vietnamese dishes - boiled rice, seaweed soup, tofu, grilled chicken.
Hon Tam Island
This island, next to Hon Mieu, located 4 km from Nha Trang, is considered ideal for a relaxing holiday, as evidenced by numerous tourist reviews and photos.
Another name for the island is “silk”, due to the presence of silky white sand on the beaches and the gentle entrance to sea water.
Beach on the island Hon Tam
Vietnam's Hon Tam Island is different high level service. Each beach is equipped as comfortably as possible, there are umbrellas, sun loungers, and wicker straw gazebos. Advantages of the island - nice beach and warm, very clean water.
A wide variety of entertainment is available here - multi-level swimming pools, golf, tennis, restaurants, all kinds of aquatic species leisure
Leisure for every taste
Not far from the pier there is a series of swimming pools with a bar where tourists can refresh themselves and relax.
Bar, swimming pool, music - everything you need for a relaxing holiday
Vacationers from Nha Trang and other Vietnamese resorts arrive on Hon Tam Island, seeking privacy, cleanliness and tranquility, because main beach in Nha Trang itself it stretches very close to the main street, and for this reason is not distinguished by either silence or cleanliness.
In winter, when cyclones approach even Vietnam, bringing wind from the sea and raising waves, the water in the bay of this island remains calm, and its temperature is warmer than on the central beach of Nha Trang.
Minuses
The disadvantages of the island include high price one day visit, sometimes inadequate staff, and not always clean beaches. Sometimes garbage floats into the bay, which tourists visiting the southern islands of Vietnam throw into the water from the shore of Nha Trang and from boats.
Another “fly in the ointment” is that the island’s administration is actively promoting it among the Chinese, who come to Vietnam in an endless stream at any time of the year. Most of tourists from China do not differ in cultural behavior, and this causes some discomfort to other visitors to the island.
How to get there?

Something to stay the night for
Price
When purchasing a ticket for a boat going from Nha Trang to Hon Tam, you need to pay for a certain time of stay and a selected set of entertainment on the island.
There are 4 types of such tickets:

Excursion route: Mun Island - Mot Island - Sun Beach - Tri Nguyen Aquarium.
Southern Nha Trang Islands - on your own
We can safely count ourselves among the amateurs independent travel. We visited most of the sights in Vietnam and other countries without outside help. Ours will surely be useful to you.
We also planned to visit the southern islands on our own. But conflicting information on the Internet prompted us to change the usual format. And we didn’t regret it.
Travel agency SinhTourist
It turned out that the most rational way to visit the southern islands is to take an excursion. Preferably from a local company, as we did at SinhTourist for 169,000 VND (~7-8$). This is not just a travel agency, but also a company for transporting passengers by bus in several countries.
Companies with Russian-speaking guides charge at least 30%; if you speak at least a little English, an English-speaking guide will be enough for you.
The morning transfer from the company's office took us to the departure pier for boats to the southern islands. It is located not far from the cable car to Vinpearl, where the boat was waiting for us. Everyone was given life jackets, drinking water and quickly released the mooring lines.
It’s not difficult to get to the southern islands of Nha Trang on your own. Near the cable car station to the entertainment island there are several piers and ticket offices for such trips.
Moon Island
At 9:30 am the boat arrived at the first island, Mun Island. The entry fee was unexpected - 22,000 dong (~$1). The tourist has comfortable sun loungers and free time. The weather was sunny, the sea was calm, but I didn’t want to swim. IN clear water there was a lot of garbage floating around. Most tourists did not pay attention to such a trifle and frolicked in the water with their children.
For us, lovers clean beaches, there was nothing left to do but take the sun loungers and admire the beauty of nature. And the landscapes around are really good and worth coming here for. There is silence around and no city bustle.
Closer to lunch, everyone was called to the cafe for lunch. The dishes are completely Vietnamese: rice, seaweed soup, grilled chicken, tofu, fried eggs and spices. It's all for everyone, but it's enough for a snack.
Tofu is soy cheese. A popular Asian dish, the cheapest source of protein, it is also called “boneless meat.”
Holiday overboard
The next stop is near the island of Mot. The boat is tied to one of the floating platforms, the carrier is connected to the electrical network, a stage is made from the benches on which tourists sit, and a small musical show begins. Our escorts sing Vietnamese catchy songs, play the guitar and dance merrily.
One pot-bellied guy took off his T-shirt, put a plate to his belly and danced, tapping it like a drum. And in order to somehow stir up the audience, they organize karaoke. For Russians they play “Katyusha” or “A Million Scarlet Roses”, for Australians - a national song about a kangaroo.
And when the audience is already warmed up, they turn up the music louder, throw a minibar with alcoholic drinks into the water, and everyone jumps into the water. The bravest ones dive from the second deck of the boat. Short video from the holiday on the high seas on YouTube.
The fun lasts about an hour. Drinks are drunk, the pleasure of swimming is received, we go to Sun Beach. It is not entirely clear what island this beach is on. On the way, they recruit a group for diving lessons for $25, and the rest are dropped off on shore. Entrance to the island is 50,000 dong (~$2).
Sun Beach
In this place the water is really clean and the bright sun only fuels the desire to swim. In addition to a beach holiday, you can buy a mask for 20,000 VND and go snorkeling. And for those who want to relax, there is a place where to lie on a sun lounger and breathe sea air and forget about all the problems.
Hon Mieu Island
And finally - a visit to the island of Hon Mieu. It is the closest to Nha Trang. On it, the Vietnamese implemented a very original idea - they created the Tri Nguen Aquarium in the shape of a sailboat. The cost of visiting is 90,000 dong (~$4).
Externally, the aquarium looks very impressive, reminiscent of the legendary ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman", and there is something in common with Dalat, but the internal content, in comparison with the aquarium on VinPearl Island, was not very impressive. But it’s still interesting to visit here and look at the marine life.
Feeding predatory fish will be an interesting activity for children. Fish up to 2 meters in size swim in the pool; the meat is tied to a fishing rod and then lowered into the water. The fish snatches the treat abruptly and with a loud bang. The children squeal with joy and continue to “fish”, while the adults take pictures of them.
On this cheerful note, our journey through southern islands has come to an end. See you again in the vastness of Vietnam!
