Full description
Discover the best of Nha Trang's history and culture on this day tour. After getting picked up from your hotel, head to your first attraction of the day, the ancient Ponagar Cham Tower, thought to have been a site for worship since the 2nd century. After visiting the temple, take a walk down to the wharf where your boat awaits for a relaxing cruise up the enchanting Cai river. Make a tasty refreshment stop on Coconut Island, where you’ll enjoy fresh coconut juice under the shade of a palm tree.
Back on the boat, take a short ride to a beautiful 200-year-old house and enjoy a refreshing selection of fresh fruits and a green tea tasting. Next, hop on the bus to visit the iconic Tong Lam Pagoda, where you’ll discover one of Vietnam’s largest Buddha statues, plus sweeping panoramas over the surrounding rice fields. Continue on to some fascinating local handicraft workshops: rice paper making, a dry noodle workshop, a mat weaving workshop and a charcoal burners workshop to name but a few. Stop to have a go at weaving mats, an unforgettable experience that will make a superb souvenir to take home.
Last but not least, visit the lively Cho Dam Market, the biggest and most famous wholesale market in Nha Trang. This busy three-floor building is densely populated with shops, food stalls, and classic souvenir vendors. At the end of the tour, get dropped off back at your hotel.
