Vinh Hy Bay is located in Vinh Hai commune, Ninh Hai district, former Ninh Thuan province, now Vinh Hai commune, Khanh Hoa province. As one of the four most beautiful bays in Vietnam, famous for its pristine beauty, Vinh Hy has clear blue water and is surrounded by Nui Chua National Park.
Hanh Linh and her companion from Hanoi chose this place to travel for 5 days, experiencing from the sea, streams, mountains and forests to the fishing village. Below is a 5-day 4-night itinerary in Vinh Hy according to Hanh Linh's experience.
Day 1
At 11 am, arriving at Cam Ranh airport, receiving a rental motorbike, driving straight to Vinh Hy along National Highway 1A and DT702. This is a dreamlike coastal road, moving for more than 1 hour to reach Vinh Hy.
Check in early, rest until 2 am to eat banh can. In the cool afternoon, go around the bay to buy souvenirs and drink coffee. In the evening, eat seafood at Phuoc Thuy restaurant.
Day 2
7 am get up to eat breakfast at Chanh Ranh quán.
At 10 am, go to Doai for coffee and lunch. Vinh Hy weather in March is less sunny but more windy. Linh and her friend stopped by Doai for lunch to admire the clear blue sea and then returned to homestay, noting that the road to Doai is steep and easy to get tired.
In the afternoon, taking photos around the bay. In the evening, going to eat balut, eating spring rolls, grilled rice paper at the Park.
Day 3
At 6 am, I get up to prepare room drop-off at homestay and then go to eat seafood vermicelli and seafood porridge at Mrs. Huong's restaurant.
At 8 am, go to An Thai 85 grape garden to experience trying grapes, drinking grape wine, grape syrup and taking photos. Here you can visit comfortably without paying a fee, Linh suggested that you can buy grapes, apples, grape wine as gifts, the price is quite reasonable.
9 am move to Ninh Thuan Stone Park (entrance ticket 40,000 VND/person). Note that the road from the gate to the park is difficult to travel.
10:00 AM Arriving in My Hoa, checking in for a homestay room. After sending your belongings, stop by Phi kite school for lunch, admire the sea scenery and tourists paragliding on the sea.
In the evening, Linh and her friend had dinner at the homestay and rested early.
Day 4
Eating breakfast at home, taking pictures around and then at 9 am we continued to Son Hai fishing village, My Tan fishing village. Beautiful and easy roads and two small, peaceful fishing villages. In the village, besides fish farming, people also grow many onions, garlic, and cilantro. Walking and watching people work on onion and garlic fields is quite interesting.
In the afternoon, returning to Vinh Hy, checking into a hotel room and then going to the park for afternoon snacks, intending to go to Thung beach to swim after eating, but it rained suddenly. After the rain, when the weather is clear, you can go drink beer and eat seafood at the embankment.
