Nha Trang is the kind of place that grows on you.
Calm beaches, friendly locals, delicious seafood—it’s easy to fall into vacation mode.
But to really make the most of it, these travel tips can help turn a “good trip” into an unforgettable one.


1. Exchange USD, not VND, before your flight

Don’t exchange Vietnamese Dong at your local bank.
Bring US dollars instead and exchange them at the airport in Nha Trang or at local banks.
The rate is usually better, and you’ll save more for your next seafood feast.


2. Don’t overlook resorts near Cam Ranh

Most people stay downtown, but some of the best luxury resorts are actually closer to Cam Ranh.
Places like Fusion Resort Cam Ranh or Radisson Blu offer ocean views, private pools, and an atmosphere that feels like true vacation.


3. For foodies, Ngon Gallery is a must

Ngon Gallery is an upscale Vietnamese buffet with over 150 dishes, made fresh to order.
It’s a great way to sample a variety of local dishes in a clean, elegant setting.
You can book in advance on WAUG, which is great because this place gets busy.

4. Download Grab

Grab is Southeast Asia’s version of Uber, and it works perfectly in Nha Trang.
It’s cheaper than taxis, safer, and super convenient.
Trust me—you’ll use it a lot more than you think.


5. YOLO Hopping Tour = best day out

If you only have one free day, book the YOLO Hopping Tour.
Snorkeling, ocean slides, floating bar, seafood lunch, live music—it’s like a beach party on a boat.
Best part? It’s currently the cheapest worldwide on WAUG.

6. End the day with a rooftop bar or massage

After a long day in the sun, unwind with a sunset drink or a traditional Vietnamese massage.
Oasis Spa and Masumi Spa are both great picks.
Treat yourself—you’re on vacation, after all.


7. Travel insurance is a must

If you’re doing any water activities (like snorkeling or jet skiing),
make sure you have travel insurance that covers it.
Better safe than sorry.

With just a little planning and the right tools,
Nha Trang can become more than just a beach trip—it can be your new favorite getaway.
