Review of Nha Trang’s 3-island scuba tour, with coral reefs, a fishing village, lunch, pricing, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“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”
