Po Nagar Cham Towers
Po Nagar is a Cham temple tower founded sometime before 781 and located in the medieval principality of Kauthara, near modern Nha Trang in Vietnam. It is dedicated to Yan Po Nagar, the goddess of the country, who came to be identified with the Hindu goddesses Bhagavati and Mahishasuramardini, and who in Vietnamese is called Thiên Y Thánh Mẫu. The Po Nagar complex is situated on Cù Lao Mountain. It consists of three levels, the highest of which encompasses two rows of towers. The main tower is about 25 m high. The temple's central image is a 1.2m tall stone statue of the goddess Yan Po Nagar sitting cross-legged, dressed only in a skirt, with ten hands holding various symbolic items. According to Vietnamese scholar Ngô Vǎn Doanh, these attributes show that Yan Po Nagar was identified also with the Hindu goddess Mahishasuramardini or Durga, the slayer of the buffalo-demon. Another sculpture of the goddess Mahishasuramardini

Owning several Guinness World Records and considered as the largest pagoda in Nha Trang, Long Son Pagoda is worth visiting once in a lifetime if anyone wants to run away from hectic schedule, do self-reflecting or experience spiritual activities. Situated in Khanh Hoa province, Long Son pagoda (originally called Dang Long Tu) was founded in 1886 by the abbot Thich Ngo Chi at the top of Trai Thuy hill where the current Buddha statue is located nowadays. After the devastating cyclone in 1900, it was moved down hill. Following the wish of the very first abbot Thich Ngo Chi, the temple became the headquarters of Vietnam Buddhist Studies Association in Khanh Hoa in 1936. Then it was under renovated and restored a few times from 1940 to 1971 especially after the period of the Vietnam War. Discovering the temple should be done from the downhill, conquering 193 steps to the top of the hill where the largest Buddha statue in Vietnam is sitting. There are four main impressive highlights

Bai Tắm Hon Chồng
Hon Chong Promontory standing at La San foothill, Nha Trang is an incredible group of boulders stacking one another without any special adhesive substances. Especially, there is the largest square-shaped rock lying on the highest and having a huge five-fingered hand indentation on its side overlooking the sea. According to scientists, this site is the consequence of the tide’s erosion over a hundred years, yet there are three typical mythical stories about the formation of Hon Chong. As one of must-visit attractions in Nha Trang, Hon Chong complex is the intersection between harmonious nature and bustling coastal city, which can blow any tourist’s mind when standing zooming out the eyesight as large as possible.

What an amazing experience!
It's hard to know where to begin with this review. Mr Duy and Mr Long the driver went so far above and beyond their normal roles in helping us that we find it difficult to express how grateful we are to them. Let me explain. On the afternoon before we were to have our tour, my phone was stolen at the beach front in Nha Trang. Not just my phone, but my credit cards, driver's license etc. We spent the rest of the afternoon back at our hotel in Cam Ranh on the phone to Australia cancelling cards and having the phone deactivated. We knew we would need to make a police report but neither of us has a word of Vietnamese. This is where the grace and goodness of Mr Duy came to our assistance. Without hesitation he agreed to take us to the police station nearest the place where the phone was stolen, acted as our interpreter, and helped us complete the form. This took an hour due to queues at the police station. Later in the day between visits to tourist sites he wrote up the report in Vietnamese, printed multiple copies for me to sign, and lodged them for official processing. He also then arranged for the officially stamped documents to be couriered to our hotel two days later. All of this was done ON TOP of him acting as a wonderful tour guide and showing us all the sites on the usual tour itinerary. This man is a wonderful human being as well as an absolute credit to the tour company. We could never, ever have managed without his assistance and he still fitted in all of the fabulous tour we had booked. Astonishing levels of service and assistance and a genuinely lovely pair of human beings. How many stars can we give to this man and to Mr Long who patiently waited while all this was going on?
Response from the operator: Dear Mr/Mrs! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are incredibly proud of Mr. Duy and Mr. Long for going above and beyond to support you during such a stressful situation. Ensuring our guests feel safe and cared for is always our top priority. Your kind words have been shared with both of them and they are thrilled to know they could help turn your trip into an amazing experience. Thank you for choosing us and we hope to welcome you back to Vietnam in the future! Best regards Vietnam Backpacker Travel Team!

Half day Private tour with Son
My family did the half day private tour of Nha Trang city, as we had limited time, and our tour guide was 'Son'. He catered for my families needs and timing. We were able to see all itinerary and spent less and more time at stops we pre chose with him. I would definitely recommend a private tour and ask for Son. He is a very knowlegable local that is born and bred in Nha Trang. You will not regret whole experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr/Mrs! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your family had such a great time on our private tour. Son will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. He truly loves sharing the best of his hometown Nha Trang with our guests. We are so glad that his flexibility and local knowledge helped make the most of your limited time. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Nha Trang for the others adventure next time! Best regards Vietnam Backpacker Travel!

Fantastic guide and driver
Duy was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and just a really nice guy. He was always one step ahead in terms of thinking about what I might need, which made the whole tour feel easy and relaxed. He knew a lot about the places we visited and was really interesting to talk to throughout the day. I had a great time and would definitely recommend him as a guide and driver.
Response from the operator: Dear Mrs Elizabeths ! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with Duy. He is indeed a valued member of our team and we will definitely pass your kind words along to him—he will be delighted to know his efforts made your tour easy and relaxed.

Day tour of Nha Trang
My husband and I had an excellent experience on the day tour with Sa and Lam. It’s a great way to see Nha Trang. Sa was very attentive and took lots of photos for us. Would highly recommend!

VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nha Trang.
How much does VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nha Trang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nha Trang is not rushed.
Is VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 176 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Nha Trang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion?
+
Around 62 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nha Trang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nha Trang and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Private Nha Trang City Tour - Best Nha Trang Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nha Trang within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nha Trang?
+
On Outty we rank every Nha Trang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coral Reef Snorkeling and Floating Bar Party from Nha Trang, Ba Ho Waterfall Discovery - Half Day Tour, Nha Trang Half Day Motorbike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nha Trang?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nha Trang?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
