The thirst for indulging in the sea and the sunshine in Nha Trang bay - one of the most beautiful bay in the world made Lee Wei Jing - a beautiful Shang Hai girl leave her tour to do her dream. 

Lee Wei likes travelling every year. This year, she chooses Viet Nam for travelling and Nha trang is one of places her group has come to. However, they had no time go sightseeing at Nha Trang bay. Therefore, although her group left Nha Trang for Da Lat, she decided to stay in Nha Trang for one more day so that she could indulge in the sea and the sunshine in Nha Trang bay. In order not to make her feel alone in her journey, I volunteered to accompany with her in hope of helping her fully enjoy the beauty of Nha Trang Sea.

We registered an Island tour of Thanh Nien Ha Noi tourist trading Company known as Mai Linh Company with the price of 70,000 VND/person including shuttle service, lunch, fruit, coffee, buoy and going around Nha Trang bay to 4 islands of Hon Mun, Hon Mot, Hon Tam and Hon Mieu. This is really an attractive tour not only Mai Linh Company but also other tourist companies are exploiting.

At 9 a.m, we were picked up at home. We started the journey at 9.15 a.m on a boat with a name full of pride - Queen. The guides of the tour were Mr. Quang and Mr. Dat. The boat stopped at Hon Mun Island at noon. This was really a water - God’s palace. So limpid was the water that people could see the bottom of the sea extremely beautiful like a kaleidoscope with lots of cuphorbias and flocks of ornamental fish. As a result, no wonder it was considered as the first marine creature sanctuary in Viet Nam with a population of assorted marine creatures. While Mr. Dat was sharing out buoys to tourists, Ms. Lee Wei Jing jumped into the sea. Sometime she shouted for joy when seeing flocks of ornamental fish swimming around. At 11 a.m, the boat anchored for the next Island- Hon Mot. At that time, the benches on the boat were rearranged like a big dining table. We all had lunch then. It was a big meal on the boat. It was prepared on board, exciting those who were hungry after a long time of swimming. After lunch, the benches were put in order and the board became a small stage. Servers and chefs on the boat became instrumentalists of the band of “Noxocha”. The drum made from cooking utensils made all tourists satisfied. And most tourists on board were moved and surprised at the songs the band sang because they were songs of their homelands.

Leaving Hon Mot, we came to Hon Tam Island for relax. In the afternoon, we left Hon Tam for a fishing village on Hon Mieu Island. Here, we had a look at cages of garrupa, cuttle - fish and lobster rearing and rowed around on a kura for hours.

We returned to Cau Da port where shuttle service was ready to take us home. We said good bye after a day of having a good time together. Lee Wei Jing was very pleased to take part in this tour around Nha Trang bay and promised she would come back. So did other tourists. All said: “It is wonderful, we will come back”.
