Experience the best of Nha Trang in 1 day on this private tour. See fascinating marine life at Vietnam Oceanography Institute, discover the ancient Long Son Pagoda, visit a stone cathedral, and explore the heritage of the Po Nagar complex.

Start your day trip with pickup from your hotel and enjoy a scenic drive along the south central coastline of Vietnam towards Cau Da Port. Stop at the Vietnam Oceanography Institute and encounter more than 20,000 marine creatures, some exclusive to Nha Trang Bay.

Next, visit the Buddhist pagoda of Long Son, which was built in commemoration of the monks and nuns who died fighting the Diem government. While there, spot the famous 68-foot (21-m) tall white concrete statue of Gautama Buddha in the distance.

Break for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the historic Stone Church, which was erected during the French colonial period. Marvel at its French-style architecture and hear the melodic rings of the 3 bells, a staple in Western churches.

Continue your tour at the sacred Hindu site of Po Nagar complex, which dates back to the seventh century. Pass by hidden wonders of the lost Cham civilisation and view a stone statue that depicts the Yan Po Nagar goddess in the middle of the complex.

Your last stop is the local market of Dam. Take time to stroll around looking for mementos before returning to your hotel.
