Hai Tac Islands (Pirate Islands)
Quần đảo Hải Tặc
More than a dozen small islands in the open sea off Ha Tien, with clear waters and simple fishing villages. Ideal for day-long island hopping and snorkeling.
The Hai Tac Islands (Pirate Islands) lie about 25 km southwest of Ha Tien at sea. They consist of more than a dozen small islands, named after the pirates who once roamed the area. The main island, Hon Tre Lon (Big Bamboo Island), has a fishing village, seafood restaurants and guesthouses. Around it, fishing boats take visitors island-hopping for snorkeling and fishing, and the island has a Vietnamese sovereignty monument. Boats leave Ha Tien wharf daily, with a one-way trip of about 1 to 1.5 hours. You can make a day trip or stay overnight on the island. Book boats in advance during peak season, as sailings are often canceled in the rainy season due to rough seas.
