10.Scuba Diving 3 Islands Nha Trang Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 5 reviews · from $57

You’ll travel by car and canoe from Nha Trang to Coral Bay 1, where a guide leads a 15 to 20-minute scuba session, followed by snorkeling. After a seafood lunch at the fishing village and Con Se Tre area, you’ll rest at Coral Bay 2. The English-speaking guide, clear water, and coral are the main draws, but the underwater time is tightly controlled.

“What this tour actually is: Transportation to two island ‘resorts’ where they will try and sell you additional packages. If you do not book the packages, you will be left on the beach for 2-3 hours. The coral and wildlife of the dive were incredible, however it is a guided tour, meaning you won’t have fins or any autonomy of your own. They have someone on your back maneuvering you around. Only good for someone who has never dove before. Lunch was served cold, the highlight was boiled clams. The tour guide was very nice, spoke great English and was funny. The tour itself is just dishonestly advertised.Read more”
