FULL ITINERARY
Port Pickup & Warmly Welcome
Your Nha Trang shore excursions begin with a friendly welcome at Cam Ranh Port, where your private English-speaking guide and driver will greet you with a personalized sign. Board your air-conditioned vehicle and set out to explore the charming coastal city of Nha Trang, known for its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage.
Long Son Pagoda
Your first visit is to Long Son Pagoda, one of Nha Trang’s most famous landmarks. Climb the staircase lined with dragon-shaped balustrades to reach the majestic white Buddha statue seated on the hilltop. From here, enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view over the city and the bay below.
Lunch at a Local Restaurant
Take a break and savor a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Enjoy authentic regional flavors prepared with fresh local ingredients before continuing your exploration.
Stone Church (Nha Trang Cathedral)
Continue your journey to the Stone Church, also known as Nha Trang Cathedral. Built by the French in the early 20th century, this striking Gothic-style church stands gracefully on a small hill, offering beautiful stained-glass windows and a peaceful atmosphere.
Hon Chong Promontory
Head north to Hon Chong Promontory, a natural rock formation located about 3 kilometers from the city center. Overlooking the turquoise sea, these massive boulders seem artfully stacked by nature itself. Legend has it that a giant’s handprint remains on one of the rocks, creating a fascinating local tale that adds to the site’s charm.
Return to Port
As the afternoon sun softens, relax on your comfortable drive back to Cam Ranh Port. Your guide and driver will ensure a timely return before your ship’s departure, leaving you with wonderful memories of Nha Trang’s culture, scenery, and hospitality, brought to you by Shore Excursions Asia.
