Passeio de ilha em Nha Trang: Snorkeling e Festa Flutuante

We were picked up from the hotel promptly at 7:30 AM and departed from the pier around 8 AM. We went to a snorkeling spot next to an island, where there were many fish. During the trip, they provided bread for us to feed the fish. They also set up a water slide, paddleboards, and a floating refreshment station with fruits, drinks, and red wine. After playing, we had lunch at a floating restaurant. The lunch was excellent, with 9 dishes, 1 soup, and 1 fruit for 8 people, including both meat and vegetables, and unlimited rice. In the afternoon, we had free time on the island beach. You could also pay extra for activities like jet skiing, but they only asked if we were interested in any optional activities without any hard selling; it was entirely up to us. The staff were genuinely nice and very focused on ensuring everyone had a great experience. They even sang and danced to liven up the atmosphere, offered coffee and fruit, and helped us take photos. Overall, I think it was even more enjoyable than the island hopping tours I've done in Thailand for around 300 baht. However, there's one thing: you can't have extremely high expectations for the water clarity. Visibility in winter is indeed a bit lower than in summer, but you can still see fish. Also, it's a bit cold when you first get into the water in winter, but you adapt quickly. Don't worry, for this price, to get such excellent service and a great experience is truly fantastic.

08:30 - 09:00 Pick-up and assembly at the hotel entrance. The Chinese-speaking guide was already waiting downstairs. We took a chartered minivan to the pier. There are swimming supplies for sale near the pier, so if you didn't bring a swimsuit, you can buy one there. Although I booked a Chinese tour, there were also foreigners in the group, and the captain communicated in English. 10:00 Departed from the pier. The small boat swayed gently to the first stop. The deeper we went into the sea, the bluer the water became (Figure 1). Free coffee and fruit were available on board. With the leader's lively atmosphere, it quickly turned into a "sea disco"! DJ music played at the floating bar, free cocktails were refilled endlessly, and travelers from all corners of the world partied on the deck. The waves splashing on us were truly exhilarating! (We passed a large ship in the middle, where you could pay extra to go deep-sea diving and sea walking.) Between 11:00 and 12:00, we arrived at the snorkeling spot. The kayaks, water slides, and floating wine party shown in the promotional photos were all real. Everyone in the group said it was very fun, and the big slide was a thrilling experience. Perhaps due to the weather that day, several companions said they didn't see any fish, only coral reefs. Due to personal reasons, I suddenly got seasick halfway through and rested on the boat for a long time, so I didn't get to play much or take many photos. The guide thoughtfully gave me seasickness medicine, and I felt much better after taking it for the latter half of the trip. Around 13:00, lunch was on another small island. We disembarked onto a ferry pulled by a rope to reach the shore. The grilled shrimp and grilled fish were decent, but the stir-fried vegetables became everyone's favorite. Regardless, the food portions were generous and filling (Figure 5). My favorite third stop was Bai Tranh! The water was so clear you could see your toes. Sun loungers were free. I bought a coconut smoothie and relaxed on the lounger, listening to the sound of the waves – this is what a vacation should be! (Figure 3) (There are optional activities here, such as speedboat parasailing.) Around 15:00, we started our return journey. The guide began telling jokes, and the whole boat was laughing to tears. Finally, as we were leaving, they played "See You Again" to conclude the trip. Before leaving, we were given clownfish stickers to put on our phone cases. Only later did I realize this was the boat's code name: Nemo Trip. Around 16:00, we returned to the city. We waved goodbye, and the leader said, "I believe this was an unforgettable journey for you!" Of course it was. Review: Klook cost around 130+ RMB per person, including pick-up and drop-off + snorkeling + lunch + unlimited drinks. There was no forced consumption, making it incredibly cost-effective.

guide: the real highlight of the trip, very friendly and able to create a crazy, cheerful party atmosphere. itinerary: the snorkeling area is a bit insignificant, few fish and zero corals: the lunch at the restaurant on the water and the two hours of relaxation on the beach were excellent. safety: excellent, constant staff presence even in the water. boat conditions: the only negative point was the lack of water to rinse off after swimming in the sea or at the pleasure.

The Nemo trip was an absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide, Bao, was incredibly entertaining, kept the atmosphere lively, and ensured there was never a dull moment. He spoke many languages, and his Chinese name is Fa Ge. The handsome young man who greeted us even bought us breakfast when he found out we hadn't eaten yet – we're so incredibly grateful! Delicious snacks were provided during both the boat trip to the islands and on the return journey. Lunch was also much better than what we've had on previous tours. Every staff member went out of their way to help us and make sure we had the best time possible! If we get the chance, we'll see you again! Ten-star rating!

This was by far the most satisfying tour I've had in Nha Trang. I would have been extremely satisfied even if it had been much more expensive, but I was truly surprised by how incredibly rich and fulfilling it was for the price, lol. The tour I took the day before involved two activities and cost $95 per person, with almost two hours of waiting time, which was very disappointing. (But they also did sea walking and scuba diving on that tour, which they do on this one too, haha ㅠ) However, this tour had absolutely no waiting time. If the pickup time was going to be late, they informed us in advance, and they continuously kept the atmosphere lively throughout... it was so much fun. If I come to Nha Trang again, I will definitely do this tour again. Also, I was so satisfied, and at the end, as they dropped us off, they even said something like, "If there was anything disappointing, we apologize, today was a very happy experience~~~" and that was just absolutely perfect. Oh, and if you do additional activities in the middle, they take photos for free, which is the best, best...❤️ (No pressure to leave a review. I'm just so satisfied that I'm writing this.)

The pickup was on time. We went to the snorkeling spot, tied up with a few other boats, and played music. Since it was a weekday, there were only 8 of us, but it wasn't awkward at all and was really fun, haha. They even called fish for us while snorkeling, we had sweet soju with fruit, went down the slide, and then went to a floating restaurant for dinner – the food was so-so. After that, they dropped us off at an island where we played in the clear water for two hours. For this price, I think it's really good. Very satisfied. Oh, but definitely eat breakfast – you'll need the energy, haha. It's a shame I can't upload the many videos I took. Dancing with the guides was really fun, boohoo. I think it was more intimate and fun because there were fewer people. I recommend it.

An interesting and cost-effective tour. The guide staff are friendly, and you get to enjoy it with foreigners and local travelers. You travel to three locations on a wooden boat, and the lunch menu is diverse and good. Enjoy this tour with snorkeling, lunch, and water activities in Nha Trang Bay. It's a sufficient break to experience the beautiful Nha Trang sea without any hassle. I would have regretted not doing a tour in Nha Trang. The tour company I joined was Vietnam Fantastic, very nice!

Great experience. The day before departure, the tour guide will WhatsApp you to confirm your attendance and tell you where to meet. This time it was an island hopping tour, visiting 3 islands. The first island was for snorkeling (optional paid scuba diving and sea walk), but perhaps due to the season, we didn't see any fish. There was free fruit and cocktails on the boat. The second island was for lunch, with many choices, and the taste was typical of group meals. The third island was for the beach, where we stayed for two hours. This was my favorite; the water was very clear, cool, and clean (you could also pay for parasailing). Sunbathing and then swimming was very comfortable. Afterwards, we took a speed boat back to the pier. Overall, this trip was great value for money and worth going.

1. Waited for an hour in the hotel lobby, and no one contacted me proactively. There was no contact information for the travel agency on the booking interface. It took a long time to get a local travel agency's number after contacting customer service. After contacting them, someone finally came to pick me up around 9 PM. 2. The tour guide was excellent, very good at creating a lively atmosphere, and everyone had a great time. 3. The places the tour guide took us to were fantastic, with excellent water quality and not too many people. 4. You can swim, snorkel, paddleboard, and also do extra-paid scuba diving and sea walking. 5. Water, fruit, and lunch were provided. It felt great, highly recommended! Remember to apply sunscreen.

It was good value for money. I was disappointed that the underwater visibility was very poor and blurry, but the guides were all friendly and the transportation was comfortable. The beach was also pretty, but it was a shame that the area where you could enter the sea was too narrow. Still, for the price, it's truly the best. Pickup and drop-off were included, and the local lunch was good. I want to go back when the sea conditions are better.
