The experience

The guide meets you at the harbor and drives you straight to Long Son Pagoda, an ancient Buddhist temple where a 24-meter-high sitting Buddha statue sits on the summit. From there you get a full view down across the city: the best vantage for photographs. You walk down to the temple base, then head into the countryside to see how locals weave mats and make bread, crossing a wooden bridge longer than 300 meters that spans the rural landscape. The guide explains what you're seeing as you move through each stop.

Next is Po Nagar Cham Towers, a temple complex founded before 781 C.E. and dedicated to the goddess Yan Po Nagar. The towers sit at the intersection of mountain and sea, and you can walk just a few steps from the rocks to touch the water or the hillside. Lunch is included, and afterward you visit Hon Chong, a promontory of stacked rocks where hand-shaped indentations mark the stone facing the sea. The guide shares stories about the site while you take in the natural scenery.

Ba Ho Waterfall is the final stop: three natural falls that end in a clear lake surrounded by dense rainforest, about 30 kilometers north of Nha Trang. You have time to swim and explore before the guide brings you back to the port in time for your ship's departure. The whole day runs 4 to 6 hours, with transport, entry fees, beverages and all taxes already covered.
