This is the place where Vietnamese couples want to spend their honeymoon - white sand beaches, crystal clear water with a turquoise shiny touch … We can`t wait to be there!
Ahhhm – it looks a bit different?!
White sand beaches are anyway overrated so let`s visit the main tourist sites like the close promontory where there are magic stones telling a story of ancient spirits who fell in love for each other.
They say they stones give you magical power if you mediate here … hard to believe but I could feel something :-o)
We had further to the close by Cham temples to thank Shiva for the power we just received and took a rest at the reclining Buddha waiting for enlightment.
As we didn`t lift off we decided to dive down at the Nha Trangs diving Mekka Mun Island.
High on expectations we did two boat dives where it was just 2 off us this day, so we could really enjoy the dives in the way we like.
Actually don`t expect too much from here – as most of the corals had been damaged before it become protected (I guess by dynamite fishing). It still some easy dives with a bit of Macros like nudibranches, buffer fish and weird sea urchins.
Did you know that Bruce Lee started as passionate diver?
Do you know where the longest sea site gondola and biggest wave pool in south east asia is located?
No? Right here in Nha Trang!
They build a water- & amusement park at the closest island and connected it via a ferry and gondola service. The shining tourist star of Vietnam was born and it is called Vinpearl.
We really were not convinced when we thought about it and read through all the information brochures, but as we still had one day left and the weather wasn`t that special – we decided to go there.
And it was just AMAZING!
First the easily 20.000 people covering park was completely deserted – there were less than 100 people today and everything free once you entered.
The next 2 hours we tried each and every waterslide from extremely fast – the Kamikaze fall - ot very slow the relax river … pure fun!
Also the artificial beach was the best we saw so far in Vietnam - white sand finally…
