Brief Introduction of Hon Tre Island

Hon Tre is a huge island in Kien Hai district, western of Kien Giang province, Vietnam. Located in Vinh Nguyen Ward, it is the largest one in Nha Trang Bay with an area of 36 km² and the highest peak of about 460m.

There is also a small village nearby located at the foot of the mountain, in which visitors can witness the habits of the fishing village and enjoy coconut and fresh fruits.

Hon Tre Island Attractions

Bai Chen

Bai Chen is the most well-known tourist place with lots of unique-shaped stones stretching nearly 2 km.  When the water rises, most of these stones immerse in seawater. Looking from the long-distance they seem like these ones turning upside down on the beach, which is fairly stunning and picturesque. Besides, sitting on these “bowls” to look at the distant fishing boats of local fishermen and enjoy the peacefulness is highly recommended. Besides, visitors will have an exciting experience with meals including shrimp, crab…eaten at the beach.

Con Se Tre Island

Con Se Tre Island is a part of Hon Tre Island that every tourist chooses as a must-visit site in their Nha Trang trips. However, many out of them often make mistake in distinguishing these two places. It is an attractive destination, which is a special tourist area with a completely bamboo design, unique items such as Bien Hoa pottery or cattle cart from Cu Chi (Ho Chi Minh City).

Explorers can take a 15-minute boat trip to get to Con Se Tre Island where you can easily find old countryside scenes that are familiar in childhood memories, enjoy a peaceful space full of poetry and be immersed in the old-but-gold lifestyle. Many tourists are also in favor of walking along the white sandy beach along the coast and watching the wild beauty of the forest, which brings us a sense of peacefulness and relaxedness.

Bai Soi

Once you set the first footstep on Bai Soi, the strange feeling of bare feet placed on the small pebbles is hard to express by words.  It seems like the little pebbles gently massage your feet. The combination of cool blue water, sea breezes, and warm sun lights are perfect to set you free from worry. Under the rock near the beach lies a wide world of beautiful coral reefs, which local people explore this natural beauty to boost tourism by offering diving gear and diving skills courses.

Vinpearland Hon Tre Island
