Things to do in Ninh Hoa

We enjoyed this amazing and relaxing resort a lot! It was our first mudbath experience and it was so much fun! It is a big resort with beautiful and clean pools and waterpark and waterfalls! Highly recommend!

Monkey Island offers playful monkeys, scenic views, and entertaining activities for a fun day trip near Nha Trang.

The park is huge, so I recommend rushing in as soon as it opens at 8:30! We arrived at the park around 10:00 AM and went to the amusement park, Adventure World, the water park, and the mountain coaster. We didn't even have time to visit the zoo and botanical garden. It's really great value for money; there are all sorts of food and drinks within the park, and the prices are very reasonable. The cable car over the sea has beautiful views! I recommend buying the 150,000 VND per person electric cart service; it's a lifesaver on a hot summer day… Go to the water park early, as the entire park closes around 6:00 PM, and then everyone waits for the Tata Show in the evening.

We caught the cable car there and back, took the mini driving train when we got there. Most shops are food or retail. Not much to see unless you buy a pass into Vin Wonder. We didn't so stopped for a cocktail and beer and headed back. Cable car ride was good.

This place is definitely worth a visit!!! The park itself is stunningly beautiful, cozy, and has a fairytale atmosphere of romance and relaxation! Plenty of wonderful spots to get away, sit, and swing amidst the beauty! There's a stunning river with waterfalls and boulders that you can climb with gusto – a via ferrata without ropes (I'm so glad I read the reviews and put on sneakers!). I cooled off and chilled in these beautiful waterfall lakes; I didn't want to leave!!! I had a blast kayaking – it's a shame the distance was so short. On the way back, I went ziplining for an extra fee – it was absolutely fantastic!! I just couldn't get to Vinpearl. Thanks to TripCom for the wonderful opportunity to buy a ticket online without the hassle.

It's been a long time since I've had such a comfortable hotel. Every smiling face was like a gentle spring breeze, and the atmosphere of being respected felt natural. The bedding was comfortable, the service was attentive, and there wasn't a single unpleasant experience. I would definitely come back after my stay.

Dốc Lết Beach is one of Nha Trang’s hidden gems, perfect for anyone looking to escape the crowds. The soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and gentle waves create a peaceful atmosphere for swimming or relaxing. Fresh seafood is delicious and affordable, while the beautiful coastline is ideal for photos. If you love quiet beaches and natural beauty, Dốc Lết is definitely worth visiting.

🚠 The journey takes about 8 to 10 minutes each way, moving at a remarkably smooth, gentle pace. Even at its highest point—hovering roughly 70 meters above the ocean—the cabin feels incredibly stable and secure, allowing you to comfortably stand up, switch lenses, and capture different angles of the coastline. Vinpearl Harbour & BeyondStepping off the cable car on the island drops you straight into Vinpearl Harbour, a beautifully designed, European-style lifestyle and shopping district. Whether you are using your cable car ticket simply to cross over for a scenic seaside coffee, a sunset dinner, or as the gateway to the massive VinWonders theme park, the ride itself sets the perfect tone for a day of exploration.

Nha Trang Đó Theater Life Puppets Show | A Heart-Touching Intangible Cultural Heritage Feast This was my second trip to Nha Trang. Having already experienced the hustle and bustle of the city and the joy of Vinpearl Island, I thought this trip would offer little in the way of new surprises. However, I was completely blown away by the Đó Theater, hidden within the Libera. This stunning building, known as the "Golden Fish Trap," is not just a popular landmark for photos, but the true cultural soul of Nha Trang. Encountering a Vietnamese intangible cultural heritage show—Life Puppets—truly makes you understand that art that truly touches the heart is not about piling up dazzling special effects, but about the subtlety, sincerity, and dedication flowing in every detail. After seeing it in person, I finally understood the core difference between Nha Trang Life Puppets and Hanoi Water Puppets. Hanoi's water puppet show is a classic intangible cultural heritage with a history spanning thousands of years. Actors, hidden underwater, manipulate puppets with bamboo poles, using a small pool as their stage. The performance depicts farming, fishing, hunting, and folk tales, showcasing the simple elegance and authentic charm of traditional intangible cultural heritage. Nha Trang's Life Puppet Show, on the other hand, is a delightful fusion of tradition and modernity. The performance combines water puppets, marionettes, shadow puppets, giant mechanical puppets, live actors, modern dance, immersive water screen lighting, and real-life stage effects. Live actors and puppets perform together, using poetic narratives to tell stories of life's cycle and national spirit. It is both awe-inspiring and tender, a fresh and modern expression of intangible cultural heritage. What truly touches the heart during the entire performance is not the dazzling stage effects, but the overflowing passion and undisguised dedication of the actors. The performance is meticulous and nuanced; every movement and every act is performed with complete immersion, without the slightest perfunctoriness. The storyline is filled with delightful little touches, coupled with the natural and warm interactions between the actors and the audience, resulting in non-stop laughter from beginning to end. The atmosphere is relaxed, healing, and completely approachable. Without deliberate sentimentality or stiff acting, it touches the softest parts of the heart through subtle details—this is true art with warmth and soul. The soul of the entire show was undoubtedly the live performance by a Vietnamese traditional music ensemble, perfectly embodying the true meaning of music transcending borders. The monochord's melodious and lingering tone, like a gentle sea breeze, softly narrates the tender emotions of the Vietnamese people; the stone zither's crisp and ethereal sound, like a mountain spring flowing, perfectly captures the rustic purity of the countryside; the bamboo percussion instruments deliver a powerful rhythm, brimming with primal vitality. The melodies of these ancient instruments transcend millennia, requiring no language or subtitles to deeply experience the profound heritage of Vietnamese culture, bringing a dual healing experience to both the ears and the eyes. The "Golden Fish Cage" architecture of the Đó Theater is a masterpiece in itself. Even more moving is the performance, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail. It offers stunning visuals, laughter throughout, and heartwarming moments, with the sincerity of the creative team and performers evident in every aspect. This art form, steeped in a thousand years of culture and imbued with the countless hours of dedication and heartfelt performance by the actors, will ultimately transcend language and geographical boundaries to touch hearts. A truly worthwhile show to see!
