As someone who has many years of experience as a consultant and tour guide for Nha Trang island tours, including tours to Hon Tam, the question I am often asked is "What is there in Hon Tam?" This is often a question for tourists traveling to Hon Tam on their own for the first time to Hon Tam Nha Trang. To give you a specific picture, I will help you answer this question.

Where is Hon Tam?

Hon Tam is an island located in the south of Nha Trang city, about 2km from the mainland. To get to Hon Tam, you will travel by speedboat or wooden boat from Hon Tam port or Nha Trang tourist wharf. The travel time is about 6 to 8 minutes if traveling by speedboat, about 25 minutes if traveling by wooden boat, depending on the means of transport you use.

Cau Da Port -> Hon Mot -> Hon Tam Hon Tam Port -> Hon Tam. However, there is a note that this map uses old data from around May 2020, that is, before the Covid-19 epidemic broke out strongly in Vietnam. After this time, Cau Da Port no longer serves tourists but only serves the civilian boat route serving people on Hon Mieu Island (where Hon Soi tourist area and Tri Nguyen fish lake are located). Instead, there is Nha Trang tourist wharf in Vinh Truong. The remaining route is reserved for Hon Tam tours of Hon Tam tourist area, departing from Hon Tam Rieng Port, and is still operating normally. Hon Tam Port is a private port that only serves visitors to Hon Tam Island. That means when you go on a tour of 2 islands, Nha Trang 3 Island Tour or 4 island tour will not depart from this port.

From here, in addition to Hon Tam, you can go to some other places in Nha Trang island tours such as: Hon Mun, Hon Mot, San Ho Bay, Mini Beach, Tranh Beach, Hon Soi, San Ho Bay 2, Fishing Village.
