Last-Minute Nha Trang Getaway: Unbeatable Deals on Unique Experiences

Here’s a vibrant account of my spontaneous trip to Nha Trang—see if it sparks your wanderlust!

Just back from Nha Trang, and I can vouch for its safety and fun! Here’s a detailed travel guide to help you plan your adventure👇

Hey everyone, I just returned from Nha Trang, and I’m thrilled to report that my “kidneys” are in perfect condition! Before the trip, I was bombarded with unsettling rumors, which made me quite anxious. But once I arrived, I realized those fears were unfounded. The local security is top-notch, and I felt incredibly safe throughout my stay.

Nha Trang is a bustling hub, especially popular among Russians and Koreans, giving it a lively, international vibe. However, be prepared for slightly higher prices; a bottle of Coke will set you back about 6 RMB. Pro tip: exchange your currency after leaving the airport. Some large supermarkets accept RMB, making shopping a breeze!

Now, let me share my 4-day itinerary:

• **Day 1: Fairy Bay** – The sand at Fairy Bay is as soft and fine as powdered sugar, and the pink beach umbrellas create a picture-perfect backdrop. I tried the underwater walk, which costs around 400 RMB per session, including a 20-minute speedboat ride each way. Underwater, you’ll be mesmerized by the colorful fish and stunning corals, like stepping into a fairy tale world!

• **Day 2: Island Hopping** – Hon Tam Island boasts crystal-clear waters and well-equipped facilities. There’s a buffet restaurant right on the beach, and many charming thatched huts, ideal for capturing Instagram-worthy moments. I recommend spending more time here to fully soak in the island’s serene beauty.

• **Day 3: Five Finger Rock & Mud Bath** – When visiting Five Finger Rock, skip the flip-flops; the slopes can be tricky to navigate. But the area is a floral paradise, perfect for photo ops. The mud bath experience is also a must-try; the water is slightly salty, and there’s a small artificial waterfall, ensuring your photos turn out great!

• **Day 4: Cathedral & Po Nagar Cham Towers** – Nha Trang often has overcast weather, so wearing bright colors for photos at the cathedral really pops. A small donation is required to enter, but it’s well worth it. The Po Nagar Cham Towers can get crowded and hot, and they’re not very large, so an hour is plenty. Don’t miss the coconut jelly in the alley next to the temple—it’s absolutely delicious!

Food and souvenir recommendations below👇

Street-side lobsters are a must-try, costing around 150 RMB each. The meat is firm and bouncy, and the taste is simply divine. Durians are priced similarly everywhere, but watch out for unreliable weighing scales. Agarwood is a popular item to browse and buy if it catches your fancy. Drip coffee is a must-buy, rich and aromatic, and makes for a perfect souvenir. For a wide variety of affordable souvenirs, head to the local supermarket.
