Hon Tam Island

Hòn Tằm

A private resort island beside Pearl Island, with white sand beaches, mud baths and a full range of water sports. A good choice for a relaxed one-day island trip if you'd rather skip the theme park.

Hon Tam Island, known as 'Silkworm Island,' lies about 7 km south of Pearl Island in the southern part of Nha Trang Bay. It covers roughly 110 hectares and is run entirely by Hon Tam Resort, making it one of Nha Trang's most popular day-trip islands. The island has a roughly 500-meter stretch of white sand, coconut palms with lounge chairs, and clear water good for snorkeling over coral. Paid activities include paragliding, jet skiing, banana boat rides, seabed walking and kayaking. There are also seaside mud baths (included in some packages or paid separately), a swimming pool, a village-style area showcasing traditional Vietnamese life, and a buffet lunch. You can also stay overnight at the island resort. A day-trip package (round-trip speedboat, entry and lounge chair) costs about VND 400,000–600,000. Packages with mud baths or a buffet cost more. Book through city travel agencies or the island's official website. Speedboats leave from Cau Da pier at the south end of Tran Phu Street, take about 15 minutes, usually depart 08:00–09:00 and return 16:00–17:00. Compared with VinWonders, Hon Tam is slower-paced and centered on beach relaxation, which suits families and couples. Compared with the Four Islands tour, its facilities are more complete but also more commercialized. Notes: prices on the island are high, so bring your own drinking water. Wear a life jacket while snorkeling, and don't step on the coral. Speedboats may be suspended in rough seas during the rainy season, so confirm in advance. Sun protection is essential, as there is limited shade on the beach.
