Highlights
Highlights
- Sea without waves The islands are located in a bay, so there is calm water and white sand all year round, even when it’s stormy on the city beach.
- Petting zoo You can hand-feed sika deer and ostriches, see a bird show and, of course, meet the owners of Monkey Island.
- Comfort on the water If there are more than 5 people, we take a separate boat so that you do not depend on the schedule of large ships.
- Tropical paradise A walk through a blooming orchid garden, photo zones in the jungle and relaxation in a bungalow by the beach.

Two islands - two worlds
Orchid Island:
Relaxation reigns here. We will walk through the protected area, feed cute sika deer and ostriches (the children are delighted!), and see a collection of rare flowers. Then relax on the white sand beach.
Monkey Island:
Kingdom of active macaques. You can watch their life in their natural environment. There are also interesting shows with animals taking place here. The area is very green, with many installations for beautiful photographs.

Before you go
Good to know
How long does it take to get to the Northern Islands from Nha Trang?
The journey from Nha Trang to the port of the Northern Islands takes about 30 minutes. Next, we will transfer to a river bus and take a mini-cruise on it around two islands. Travel time is 30-40 minutes to Orchid Island and 10-15 minutes to Monkey Island. The sailing takes place in a bay where there is no wave, so the boat almost never rocks.n
Is feeding animals dangerous?
It is safe if you listen to what the guide tells you. If you are afraid to feed the monkeys, then you can just look at them, and without food you are of no interest to them.n
Is the sea calm on Orchid Island during the rainy season?
Yes! That is why we recommend visiting this excursion, especially from November to February, when there are strong waves on the beach in Nha Trang.n
Why is an excursion to the Northern Islands more expensive than on the street?
We work with small groups of 6 to 10 people. Our guides have between 5 and 12 years of experience in Vietnam. We do not visit tourist shops and include everything in the price except food. On excursions, we only stop at high-quality, proven cafes, where tourists themselves order from the menu what they like. These main features, along with many other details, make our excursions much more interesting and of higher quality than those offered by other companies. Customer reviews over 12 years confirm our high level.
Do you pick up from hotels outside the country, for example in Cam Ranh?
Yes, we pick up from remote hotels, but an additional payment for transfer will be required:nn— Hotels near Cam Ranh Airportn40 usd for everyone round trip.nn— Amianan20 usd for all round tripsnn— Diamond Bay (out of town)n30 usd for all round tripsnn(!) We pick up free of charge from hotels in the center, south and north of Nha Trang.
How much does a trip to the northern islands cost?
The cost for a group of 6-10 people with the best guide in the city is 50 usd per adult and 40 usd per child, everything in the program is included except food. On the islands we will have time to have lunch; we will order from the menu. Cost 3-7 dollars per dish. Estimated departure time is 08.00 am and return time is 16.30

Good afternoon. Tell me, does this excursion take place every day?

Здравствуйте! Мы будем в Нячанге с 29.10 по 7.11. Есть ли смысл брать экскурсию к северным островам и императорский круиз? Проводятся ли вообще эти экскурсии в этот период? и часто ли они отменяются по погодным условиям?
Здравствуйте. Напишите нам в личном сообщении, пожалуйста.

Доброе утро. Мы первый раз во Вьетнам едем. И хотели взять несколько экскурсий через ваше турагентство. Но есть одна проблема. Мы будем жить на острове Вимперл, в гостинице. А большинство экскурсий начинаются рано утром. Особенно в Далат. Сможем ли мы добраться до Нячанга и если да, то откуда нас заберут?
Здравствуйте. У вас нет проблем с трансферами с острова, так как ходят круглосуточные катера, каждые 30 минут.
Будем забирать вас на причале отеля на материке.

The Northern Islands: a calm day with a beach and animals
The Northern Islands are Orchid Island with a beach in the sheltered Nha Phu Bay and Monkey Island with animals you can feed. It is a gentle family day without snorkelling and without long transfers — good when you want a sea without waves and something memorable for the children.
- Format
- Beach, animals and an orchid garden; no snorkelling in the programme.
- Children
- Suits children of any age; the child rate depends on height (100–140 cm).
- Sea
- The bay is sheltered from waves, so the tour works in the rainy season too, November to February.
- What to bring
- Swimsuit and towel, sun protection, small dong notes for animal food and lunch.
Northern or Southern Islands — which to choose?
If snorkelling and a yacht trip matter to you, choose the Southern Islands. If you want a calm beach, animals and minimal swell, especially with small children, choose the Northern Islands.
What should I know about Monkey Island?
Do not carry rustling bags or open food: monkeys may try to grab them. Feeding the animals is safe if you follow the guide; you can also simply watch.
