Snorkeling in Nha Trang: Private Yacht Cruise with Lunch

Snorkel coral reefs, swim in open water, fish for exotic species, and eat lunch aboard a sailing yacht

A private yacht cruise in Nha Trang Bay for up to 10 people, departing from the pier at 9am and returning by 2pm. You snorkel around Hon Tre Island's coral reefs, swim in the bay, fish for local species, and eat lunch on board or at a floating fishing village. Champagne, unlimited drinks, snorkeling gear and a live guide in English, Vietnamese, Russian or Chinese are included.

The experience

The day starts at the pier with a welcome drink and introduction to the crew, then the yacht sails into Nha Trang Bay. Your first stop is Hon Tre Island, where you spend roughly two hours snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs and exploring the underwater landscape. The same area is good for fishing if that interests you, or the crew can move to a new spot depending on conditions and what you want to do.

Lunch happens around midday either on the yacht itself or at a traditional Vietnamese floating fishing village, depending on what you choose when you book. The yacht carries snorkeling equipment, so you don't need to bring your own. Champagne, unlimited drinks, coffee, tea, fruit and snacks are available throughout the day. A live guide speaks your language (English, Vietnamese, Russian or Chinese), and the crew handles the sailing while you focus on swimming, snorkeling and fishing.

Pickup is included from the pier. The route timing is flexible if you need to adjust the 8:45am meetup. The whole experience runs about five hours, ending back at the pier by 2pm. The yacht works for groups of 1 to 10 people, whether that's a family, friends or a small corporate group.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Vietnamese, Russian and Chinese.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I snorkel if I've never done it before?

Yes. The crew provides snorkeling equipment and the guide is there to help. The coral reef area around Hon Tre Island is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and you can stay in the water as long as you feel comfortable.

What's the difference between eating lunch on the yacht versus the floating fishing village?

Both options are included. You choose at checkout. The floating fishing village is a traditional Vietnamese settlement on the water, so that option lets you see how locals live while you eat. The yacht lunch keeps you on board without an extra stop.

Is the snorkeling gear provided, or do I need to bring my own?

Snorkeling equipment is included in the cruise. The yacht carries masks, fins and snorkels for all guests.

What happens if I want to fish instead of snorkel?

Fishing is one of the activities offered on the same stop. You can fish, snorkel, or split your time between both. The crew can move to a different location if you want to focus on fishing.

How many people can fit on the yacht?

The yacht accommodates 1 to 10 people, so it works for solo travelers, couples, families and small groups. Bigger corporate groups can also be arranged.
