Nha Trang is all about sun, sea and adventure- offering some of Vietnam’s best snorkelling and diving spots. Spend your days gliding over azure waters on a sailboat, hopping between islands, spotting colourful fish darting through coral reefs, or trying your hand at kayaking, windsurfing or a refreshing swim. But there’s more to Nha Trang than the beach. Inland, you can wander through lush hills and charming villages on foot or by bike, soak in mineral-rich mud baths, or raft down rushing rivers. The city itself is brimming with character, from the fascinating Alexandre Yersin Museum to the ancient Cham Towers, not to mention a lively nightlife scene filled with beach bars, fresh seafood joints and clubs that keep the party going late into the night.
