          Not what you expect. Actually not at all.
          Ng (Hung) was a very nice and kind guide. That is the only reason the trip gets one ‘star’ Every other thing is not what you expect. It says ‘fishing from a boat’. That is not true, you fish from a floating restaurant with hooked that are so small that if you ever get something big on it, it will probably break. It’s an illusion that you will ever catch ‘your own lunch’ After that we sailed too Moon Island to snorkle. Waste of time. The snorkel was broke, the ‘beach’ was full of stones, and the area had poor toilet facilitees. Even poorer bathing possibilitees. We went back to the floating restaurant and got lunch. Very good and fun to try snails, and clams. Then we should have been on the Beach to do different kind of watersports, but we declined since we thought this was a pretty big joke. We paid 238$ for three persons. It is not worth the money, and i actually think, tjatte should get a refund.

          Amazing Vinpearl Experience
          Booked this day trip when arriving in Nha Trang, easy confirmation. The island is amazing so much to see and do. Tried out the watersides a few rides. Gardens were beautiful and the animals were fantastic, the Flamingos were a highlight. Safe storage lockers for personal belongings. All out great day.

          Nice park
          nice way to spend a day with kids in Nha Trang. take the cable car on the morning to reach the island. the park is huge, plenty of attraction for all kids. As any amusement park, on the main attractions, the line is huge (1-2h) but they still have nice ride where the line is ok (5-10mn) at night, go to the wheel and to comeback to the city, take their speedboat, there is no line compare to the cable car.

          Private Tour
          Hung was a most attentive and thoughtful guide taking care of us throughout the day whether he was putting our bait on the hooks or pointing out the different fish when snorkelling. Our lunch was delicious and the whole day went perfectly without a hitch thanks to the work of Hung and his team - the boat driver and land driver. We would definitely recommend this trip. It was lovely to leave the harbour on our speedboat as the large boats were loading hundreds of tourists.

          Relaxing trip
          We were a group of four adults from Norway and we all had a good time on this trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and the car was big and comfortable. The river cruise was great in the heat and we got to see other parts of Nha Trang. If you want a look into Nha Trang behind the tourist fasade this is one way of doing that. We had lunch at Tuna House, the food was great and more than enough for four people. There were parts of the trip missing tho. We did not see how the conical hats were made, we did not see any paddy fields, we were not provided with free mineral water (you have to buy your own drinks for lunch), the tour was cut short an hour and a half. We had a good time but due to the missing parts the price wasn’t worth it.

          Monkey Island
          When I booked this trip, I did not realize that the location of my hotel location was out of the way. However, this was not a problem for the travel agency to pick us up, and they were on time. Mr. So and our driver accommodated our every whim and explained everything to us in detail. We visited Monkey Island first and spent plenty of time in the water. We were given extra time. We then went on to Orchid Island we were given time to explore and spend time with wildlife. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Nha Trang.

          enjoying sightseeing at Hoa Lu Tam Coc of its beautiful and peaceful nature scenery by boat ride rowing with foot. In addition, I enjoy the Water Puppet show of its unique traditional performance with local features, worth the ticket price.

          OK, But...
          In traveling with our grandchildren (7 & 9), we spent the day at VinPearl Land. The park consists of an amusement park, gardens and a water park. We visited the amusement park and water park, but did not have time to tour the gardens and eco-spheres. The amusement park had two rides that were not operating: the roller coaster was broken and being worked on, while the ferris wheel was closed. On the positive side, there were short or no lines. Our grandchildren enjoyed the Alpine ride the most. We then went over to the water theme park, but first walked to the dolphin show to see the times of the shows. None were listed, nor were they in any brochure. The only way we found out about the time was the trainers walked through the water park soliciting attendees for the show at 3:30 pm. The water park has a number of water slides, but the minimum height requirement for all but one ride was 1.3 meters (4'3"). The other ride was 1.2 meters (3"11"), which our granddaughter met. The water park also had a lazy river, kids pool with slides, and a wave pool. We spent out time on the one slide that allowed 1.2 meters, the lazy river and the wave pool. Overall, it is an OK place to spend the day, but do not expect a super theme or water park experience. The tram ride over gives you spectacular views of Nha Trang bay and takes about 15 minutes. The commercial on the ride needs to be updated as it talks about coming attractions for 2017. Someone in the marketing department is asleep at the switch!

          Not what we expected.
          The tour operator sold it to us that there'd be a small group of us, hopping to islands. "Cultural" was the word he used. "Cattle" is more appropriate, from the dock, to each island and back again. We were part of a group of 60-70 odd, and pending on what we've paid for, everyone was dropped off at different locations. Despite the sea being choppy, they insisted on going flat out, not in any manner comfortable or safe. Snorkeling was poor. The sea is filthy, the dock is built from bags of cement (?), dogs were peeing and we had to pay to go into the bit that was clean. The floating village was interesting but again, had rubbish everywhere. Our guide had to speak 3 languages, and being the only english lot, our explanation was much shorter. Had to buy drinks. The beach island was a resort, and was packed. Girl managing lockers tried to tell us the 100,000vnd was a charge, not a deposit... Had to buy drinks. Back on mainland we waited as a big group for various taxis/minibuses. Felt that £100 is way over the odds.

          Good introduction to Nha Trang City and History
          The tour covers all the top destination inside Nha Trang City. A great way to see top spots without hassle of running around catching public transport or taking a gamble getting in a taxi. Our guide Hung was very nice and tried his best to explain the background of each location although A bit of it was lost in translation as most Vietnamese don’t have good English pronunciation. He made sure we were comfortable and took lots of great photos for us. Lunch was a Seafood restaurant specialising in Tuna, food was ok nothing great as to be expected of food inclusive in a tour. Lots of carbs like noodles and rice given. I personally eat a lot of meat so my friend and I ordered an extra dish at our own expense. It was a Tuna dish cooked Vietnamese style and it’s probably the best damn cooked tuna I’ve ever tasted, they serve it with rice paper and salad. The waiter rolls it freshly in front of you. That was really good. Overall I recommend this tour for those who is short on time without the hassle of jumping on and off public transport, get to see all the top tourist spots in Nha Trang. Our guide also recommended some great local spots to eat, the seafood restaurant he recommended was fantastic.

          Long drive but well worth it to Long Tan cross
          Picked up group from hotel and began long journey from Ho Chi Minh to find Long Tan Cross. Must admit wasnt confident in finding it but alas as we were driving along in a rubber plantation, there it was. Fantastic day and moment to pay respects to the Australians and Vietnamese who died in the battle. Area was very different to photo here as rubber tress had been harvested and was an open field, depends on time you go I guess. Loved this day, will remember for rest of my life and can say Ive been there.

          must do
          amazing overnight cruise The boat is very well appointed and cabins are small but very luxury,I had the best sleep and best pillow ever!! Food was delicious and plentiful, I specially enjoyed buffet sea food lunch on first day.There was lots of activities, cooking class with lots of fun,tea ceremony and Thai chi in the morning. But what really made the whole trip very special is the staff, everyone very helpful, smiling all the time. I have to specially mention captain Bac. What a personality!!This wonderfull man takes so much pride in everything he is doing,he is worm and welcoming,he is overviewing everything, he is full of knowledge and obviously loves his country very much.I feel very privileged that I had the opportunity to meet him.
