Hon Mieu Island

Around a half-hour boat ride from Cau Da Port in Nha Trang is the small island of Hon Mieu. Much of the island won’t be of particular interest to the average tourist, although there are a few pleasant beaches plus a sprinkling of seafood restaurants close to where the ferries come in. 
The main attraction on Hon Mieu however is the Tri Nguyen Aquarium, a unique boat-shaped building that, along with its surrounding waters, houses a large variety of fish and other marine life, including giant shrimp, sharks, and turtles. Visitors can even climb to the ‘top deck’ to check out the views.

Practical Info

Hon Mieu is located around five kilometers southeast of Nha Trang, with regular ferries running from the dock at Cau Da to the island throughout the day. Hon Mieu is also included within most island-hopping tours of the area.
