3. Getting to Coral Bay: Your Scenic Route Awaits
Since Coral Bay is perched on an island, the only way to get there is by boat. But trust us, the journey is part of the magic! Cruising through the emerald waters, with sweeping views of Nha Trang’s spectacular islands casting a scenic backdrop, it’s a view you won’t forget!
Here’s how you can make your way to Coral Bay:
3.1 Hop on a Speedboat
If you’re traveling with a group of 10 or more, chartering a private speedboat is a fantastic option. You get the freedom to set your own pace and explore on your schedule. Just note that speedboat tickets don’t include entrance fees, meals, or activities – those are extra.
Tips for a Speedboat Ride:
- Book in advance, especially during peak season, to lock in the best deals.
- Choose a reputable service. Be cautious of overly cheap offers from taxis, cyclo drivers, or ticket sellers at the port – they may sound tempting but often don’t deliver. These boats can be shared with multiple groups in one day, and you might find yourself being led to overpriced restaurants or shops so they can earn commissions.
