A perfect 4-day get-away itinerary in Nha Trang
Greetings, fellow adventurers! My name is Yasin, and I’m a local travel expert here at Vitamin Sea Travel. Today, I’m excited to share with you a fantastic 4-day itinerary for exploring the vibrant city of Nha Trang, Vietnam. Get ready for a thrilling blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern attractions. Let’s dive right in!
Getting There & Around:
Nha Trang boasts Cam Ranh International Airport. From major cities, direct flights are readily available. Taxis are plentiful, and ride-hailing apps like Grab work seamlessly. For a more local experience, hop on a Xe Om (motorbike taxi) – negotiate the fare beforehand!
Accommodation:
Nha Trang caters to all budgets. Budget-conscious travelers can find comfortable guesthouses or hotels Nguyen Thien Thuat area. Adventure seekers might consider homestays in the countryside near Ba Ho Waterfall. For a touch of luxury, beachside hotels/resorts in Tran Phu beach offer stunning views.
Day 1: Arrival & Stand Up Paddling (SUP)
Welcome to Nha Trang! After checking in and freshening up, ditch the luggage and head straight to the countryside. Let’s embrace the adventure with a fun and scenic Stand Up Paddle (SUP) session on Song Cai River.
Paddle alongside the stunning paddy field, marveling at the city skyline, awaiting for the sunset.
After your SUP adventure, grab a delicious Bún Chả Cá (grilled fish cake noodle soup) – a Nha Trang specialty – for dinner.
Day 2: Island Hopping Adventure and Relaxation
Today, we explore the hidden gems nestled offshore! Nha Trang boasts a cluster of islands, each offering unique experiences.
Morning: Embark on a thrilling island hopping tour. Head to Mini Beach. This secluded paradise boasts pristine white sand and calm turquoise waters. Relax on the beach or snorkel in the vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful fish.
Lunch: After working up an appetite, savor a delicious “Ăn Trưa” (lunch) on a floating restaurant at Làng Chài (Fishing Village). This quintessential Nha Trang experience involves enjoying fresh seafood on a rustic boat bobbing gently on the waves.
Afternoon: Later, choose your relaxation method: a luxurious mud bath or a rejuvenating hot spring soak. Hon Tam offers both options. Mud baths are believed to have therapeutic benefits, while the hot springs are perfect for soothing sore muscles after a day of adventure.
Evening: As the sun dips below the horizon, indulge in a Nha Trang food tour. Sample the city’s vibrant street food scene, savoring delicacies like Bánh Canh (thick rice noodle soup), Nem Nướng (grilled pork skewers), and Bánh Xèo (crispy rice pancakes).
Day 3: Ba Ho Waterfall & Emperor Cruise
Get ready for a day amidst breathtaking nature! Rise early and head to Ba Ho Waterfall, a majestic three-tiered waterfall nestled amidst lush greenery. Hike up the well-maintained trails, encountering cascading waterfalls, natural swimming pools, and breathtaking vistas. Take a dip in the cool waters, feeling invigorated by the cascading water. Opt for a local guide to learn about the area’s rich flora and fauna.
Evening: As dusk approaches, elevate your Nha Trang experience with a luxurious Emperor Cruise. Sail along the coastline, witnessing the city skyline bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun. Enjoy a delectable dinner onboard, accompanied by live music and breathtaking views. This cruise is the perfect way to unwind after a day of adventure.
Day 4: City Tour & Departure
Before bidding farewell to Nha Trang, dedicate some time to explore the city’s cultural gems. Visit the Po Nagar Cham Towers, ancient Hindu temples showcasing intricate architecture and capturing Vietnam’s rich history.
Next, head to the Long Son Pagoda, a magnificent Buddhist temple complex perched on a hilltop. Climb the steps and be rewarded with panoramic views of the city.
For a dose of history, visit the Nha Trang Cathedral, a beautiful French-influenced neoclassical church.
In the afternoon, spend some time browsing the vibrant Dam Market. Here, you can find everything from souvenirs and local handicrafts to delicious street food.
Pro Tip: Pack your swimsuit! Several hot spring resorts like Thap Ba or I-resort

丽仙 余4 September 2025Great Half-Day Trip with a Wonderful Guide I went on this trip solo, but the guide and I set off together as planned. The guide gave very detailed explanations, was patient, and turned out to be a great photographer as well. He answered every question and helped me capture many beautiful photos and videos. The whole experience was really enjoyable, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and hiking. The waterfall was refreshing and cool, and when you stay still in the water, little fish come and nibble at you—it doesn’t hurt, just feels fun. A half-day trip was perfect for this adventure.
Mikhail P3 September 2025Swimming in Ba Ho I visited the waterfalls in September 2025. Our group was small - only six visitors. Beautiful landscape, cool jumps from cliffs. The nature is great here, and the guide was fun and helpful.Lee J3 September 2025Ba ho waterfall 바호 폭포에 2025년 9월에 친구들과 함께 다녀왔어요.친절한 가이드분과 함께 트래킹을 하며 오르다보니 스팟 장소에 금방 도착하게 되었고 그곳에서 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다.정말 아름다운 경치였고, 다음에도 기회가 된다면 다시한번 방문하고싶어요!
성준 박3 September 2025재밌었습니다! 친구랑 같이 갔는데 가이드 분도 엄청 친절하시고 (거의 친구 같았습니다) 계곡에서 노는 것도 생각보다 훨씬 재밌었습니다! 하이킹이 좀 가파르긴 한데 못갈 정도는 아니에요. 다만 어린 아이들은 위험할 것 같습니다. 친구랑 오시면 강추입니다!
