Referring to places with beautiful beaches in Vietnam, it is definitely impossible to ignore the name Nha Trang. Many Nha Trang beaches are honored in the list of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, or the most worth-experienced summer beach destination in the world.

Coming to the coastal city of Nha Trang, besides swimming and relaxing in the city center, many tourists also choose to go to neighboring islands in Nha Trang Bay to have more different experiences. In addition, the scenery at the islands is evaluated by tourists as having wild beauty, completely different from the beach in the bustling center.

The islands in Nha Trang are famous and familiar to tourists, such as Diep Son island with a sandy road on the sea, Yen island - Hon Noi, Hon Mun, Hon Tam, or Binh Ba and Binh Hung islands. However, there is one more name, the largest island in Nha Trang Bay, but less known than other islands. Many visitors when coming here have to comment, it almost keeps the absolute wild look, and there are times when it is so deserted that there is not a single shadow of people. That is  Hon Tre Island.

Traveling by cable car, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the vast, clear blue sea as well as the scenery of Hon Tre from above.

Visitors with the account Chin198 shared on social networks: "It's been a long time coming to the island. About half a month ago, around the beginning of July, my whole family rented a canoe to come here. The sea is clear blue, the scenery is empty, only my family is very comfortable."

"I've been to Hon Tre a few times. Because the island is still unspoiled, most of the family will go on their own. Swimming here is not wanting to bathe anywhere else," commented a visitor with an account Quyen Tran. "Just finished going to Hon Tre last year, swimming here recognizes the clear water very much," said the Vietnamese American tourist.
