places outside Nha Trang: Tri Nguyen aquarium (on Hon Mieu Island)

 

tri nguyen aquarium nha trang vietnamHon Mieu island is mainly known for its aquarium. You can get there on your own from Cau Da Port in Nha Trang City. The travel time is 30 min and boats go there many times per day.

An easier option is go with an organised group from a travel agency. They use quicker boats and you will not get lost in the group. But make sure the group will not leave the island without you. Read my story how I was left on the Hon Mieu island and I only waved good bye to the boat that brought me there with many other tourists.

Hon Mieu has Bai Soi beach (Gravel beach). The beach has no sand, only smooth gravel stones.

The entrance to the island is through a huge fish (not real of course). Tourists enter through its mouth and then continue walking further to the aquarium. In Tri Nguyen aquarium there are dozens of species of fish and crustaceans on a breeding program. Visitors can also kayak on the lake. The aquarium building is absolutely amazing, but also looks a bit scary. It is in the shape of a huge pirate boat, which looks a bit creepy. Aquarium has few floors and each of them has amazing fish and turtles. There is also a small souvenir shop with smazing small things made from connected shells and T-shirts with Nha Trang logos.
