Excursion Nha trang river & village tour at Nha Trang

Discover a few of Nha Trang's highlights today on this outing, including a view of the city as the ancient mariners witnessed - from the river.

A 90-minute drive takes you from the pier to the riverboat to begin a voyage on the Nha Trang River. The embarkation point is at the foot of the Po Nagar Cham Tower, perhaps the best preserved of all Cham sites. Dedicated to the goddess Uroja, the central tower features a black stone sculpture of a deity. Local villagers still bring offerings of flowers and incense to her shrine.

The cruise takes you past numerous fishing boats and a lively fish market en route to a riverside clay-oven workshop and a rural village.

Come ashore at a local village where a family produces clay ovens used by the country people of Khanh Hoa Province. Every year, families mark the onset of Tet (the lunar New Year) by smashing their clay ovens. From the workshop, re-board the riverboat once more and head towards a refreshment stop where coconut juice, a local favourite is offered.

On the river once again, cruise to a local farmers homestead and leaving the boat behind, explore his home and garden and sample some refreshing tropical fruit.

From the farm you will proceed for a buffet lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch begin the 90 minutes return to the ship via coach.

Note

Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of walking. The village path is unpaved and rough and guests must be able to manoeuvre on and off the boat. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility and those who utilise a wheelchair. The boat is traditional and rustic, with only some protection from the sun. We suggest you bring a hat, sun lotion, and glasses. Flat, walking shoes are suggested. Although English is very popular language in Vietnam, local Tour Guides tend to have a strong accent therefore we urge flexibility and understanding. The order of sites seen or visited may vary. The driving distance between the pier and Nha Trang is approximately 1.5 hours in each direction.
