Introduction
Nha Trang is an incredible Vietnamese town right on the beach front. The Government backpacker bus route includes Nha Trang and is a must see destination for unwinding after a 10 hour bus ride from Hoi An.
The water temperature is great, merely watch out for getting in, the break is small but powerful and your swimwear can easily be sucked off!
Neighbourhoods
Sights and Activities
Mama Hahn party boats are ideal ways to head out and see the nearby islands and relax in an inflatible tractor innertube with a cocktail! On the islands there are also options for jet-skiiing for around $15 for 15 minutes. Splitting this cost with a friend is a good suggestion. There are other alternatives to Mama Hahn and you can jump from boat to boat.
Rainbow Divers is one of the 3 diving operations based in Nha Trang and has the most awareness in the town. Many people wear the compants polo shirts in exchange for dives. This company was started by an English man, another company, Octopus Diving, was started by a German-Dutch couple.
The diving in Nha Trang isn't particularly amazing and there are same priced dives, with more to see, in Thailand. This areas' biodiversity is most similar to the eastcoast of Thailand, Koh Tao, yet there is only one Japanese Garden coral reef, and that is in Koh Tao. However, since the Tsunami in 2004 people are choosing to head to the Pacific/South China Sea.
Events and Festivals
Eat
Drink
In the evening, the best bar is Blue Gecko, where Snow will serve you the best drinks and the best music.
After 1 in the morning, all bars generally close and people congregate at the Sailing Club on the beach (all bars and this club have free entry). A walk back to your $3 for a room hotel is merely a few minutes away. Be careful, it should be safe, but you never can tell.
Sleep
Hotels are closed at night and a night watchmen will let you in.
