Well worth a visit is the hot springs spa, where you can have a mud bath, mineral springs, swimming pool and massage for only a few dollars - is a really relaxing day out. Best way to get there is on a motor bike ride (you can hail them down on the street) for about £1 return, is a bit scary to begin with, but good fun!

Boat tours to neighboring islands are definitely recommended (in particularly boat #4). For USD7-8 you can join the simplest boat tour, which covers four islands. The tours are entertaining, enjoyable and furthermore food is provided. The Sailing Club is perhaps one of the most happening places during the night. It is situated next to the beach and is generally filled with foreigners partying early into the morning. For seafood, Truc Linh on is not a bad place to feast on the latest catches.

I would highly recommend the island tour offered at the hotel for about 8 USD. We were given (by the hotel) a lovely straw hat and a couple bottles of water. The staff on the boat was very attentive and friendly and the food that they served for lunch was excellent, especially given that we were on a boat, away from any kitchen facilities. We got around primarily by cab, which was very inexpensive. A couple of times we used one of the motorcycles that consistently asked us if we needed rides, very cheap, but hang onto your hat! We had laundry done, about 3 kilos, which was washed, dried and ironed (and returned within 24 hours) for 12,000 dong/kilo. The laundry facility name is escaping me at this moment but I can look it up if anyone is interested. We visited Chong Rocks, but only had limited time. It would be a nice way to spend a relaxing day, lounging around on chaise chairs having cocktails and snacks. We hired a local tour guide, she's very good and I can provide her contact details if anyone would like to know. She was born and raised in Nha Trang so knows all the good places to visit, and her brother owns a cab so transportation is quick and easy. We were given a day-long tour of Nha Trang and driven around, quite inexpensively. We saw the Palace, Dam Market, the temple along the bay, Chong Rocks and had a fantastic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Plus had some terrific discussions about Vietnamese culture. Her english is excellent.

My favorite tour is River Tour. We can see calm local Vietnam life. And we visited Monkey Is. There are many monkeys in the Island. And it is very peaceful.

Rainbow Divers - I had an excellent morning with them. They are very professional and well organised. The diving was good and a real highlight of the trip to Nha Trang.

Great snorkeling destination; town itself pretty depressing & smelly.

Na Trang is a very local holiday resort for Vietnamese and backpackers. It is very geared toward tourism in the main town area. Some great seafood at really cheap prices in all restaurants. Great diving (PADI 5) and boat trips to local islands not to be missed. We took two days out to visit Hoi An (1 hour by plane) - highly recommended for the cheap tailoring of clothes and lovely traditional town.

We rented bicycles at the hotel but they were in pretty bad shape. We did a lovely tour to Bao Dai villas. We had a tasty lunch down by the beach and a superb massage! We took two one-day tours with Mr Nguyen Van Hieu from Khanh Hoa Tours. This guide speaks an excellent French and is very nice and an excellent organizer of tours. He was a great guide. He took us on a boat trip in the harbour and along the river, we watched people working in the rice fields and different artisanal artifacts. He took us to the hot mud place (Thap Ba Hot Mineral Spring). Very fun! He took us also to the fairy springfall. We loved the Lac Canh restaurant so happily noisy with locals having fun and food so delicious. But all the restaurants we went to were tasty. We even tasted dog and enjoyed it! We just would like to warn travellers not to buy anything or go into a restaurant if someone who is not the shopkeekper or the cook offers to help them in a shop or a restaurant. That person will make everything very expensive and take a commission for himself on everything the tourist eats or buy.

The beach didn't look very enticing and after a single 10 minute swim in the violent surf breaks, my original assumption of the beach was very well validated. The hot springs about 2 km north of Nha Trang was very relaxing and great value for money, the mud baths were so well enjoyed I went back there for a second time. As expected, Nha Trang is essentially a party town, a Mama Han Green Hat boat tour was very well enjoyed and every night of our stay in Nha Trang was spent at the Crazy Kim's bar and the Nha Trang Sailing Club partying with other travelers till the 'wee' hours of the morning.

A walk around the harbour and visit Cham temple is very nice. And a boat trip for snorkelling and bathing is a must (we went with Mama Linh - very good).
