The experience

What makes this snorkeling trip different from a beach day? You're in the water at Mun Island, a Marine Protected Area where the coral and fish populations are protected: meaning the underwater landscape stays intact and the variety stays high. The boat provides mask, snorkel and light jacket. You enter the water and move through the reef at your own pace while the guide stays with the group. The water is shallow enough that even weak swimmers can see the detail, and the coral formations and color fish are the draw, not a single landmark.

After snorkeling, the boat moves to Mot Island for fishing. Rods and bait come aboard. You cast and wait, and whatever you hook (small fish are the norm in Vietnamese waters) gets cleaned and grilled on the boat with cold beer. This is not sport fishing. It's a casual hour where some people catch nothing and some catch dinner, and either way the meal happens. Then the speedboat heads to Bamboo Island (Con Se Tre), where you step onto the beach for lunch: fresh shrimp, squid, fried noodles, pork in clay pot, salad and soft drinks. The beach is quiet after the morning's activity, and the view across the bay toward Nha Trang city sits in front of you while you eat.

The tour runs 5 to 6 hours total and departs with a minimum of two people. Hotel pickup is included, and a live English-speaking guide stays with the group throughout. Children from age 4 are welcome. Jet-ski, parasailing and banana boat rides are available on Bamboo Island but cost extra and are not part of the package.
