Hi! I’m a Vietnamese local who has been living in Nha Trang for many years. Although I wasn’t born here, I’ve explored every corner of this city and truly call it my home. I love introducing travelers to the real side of Nha Trang not just the beaches and big-name attractions, but the hidden spots, daily street life, and the small things that locals enjoy every day. I'm not a professional tour guide, but more like a local friend who can show you around, share stories, street food tips, and connect you with the local vibe. Let’s walk, chat, and discover the soul of this beautiful coastal city together!

Tour description

Walk the most stunning coastal curves where 1,200 years of faith meets a century of science. Experience unrivaled high-angle views, breathe in the legendary ocean air, and witness a masterpiece sunset that bridges the ancient and the modern.

NHA TRANG IS NOT JUST A BEACH – IT’S A MASTERPIECE OF CONTRASTS.

Don't settle for the ordinary. Most travelers only see the surface, but we invite you to dive into the soul of the city. This is a journey of high-angle heights, hidden heritage, and a breath-taking walk along the ocean's edge.

THE EXCLUSIVE "INSIDER" EXPERIENCE

La San Hill – The Citadel of Memories: We start at the summit of a historic hill. Walk down the quiet slope lined with ancient hand-built stone walls from the 1950s. This is the "hidden soul" of Old Nha Trang—a place of peace standing firm above the waves.

The Sky-Bridge – A 360° Perspective: Stand on the pedestrian overpass for a view that will take your breath away. Below your feet is the gracefully curving Pham Van Dong coastal road; in front of you is the vast northern bay and the soaring modern skyline. It’s a National Geographic moment you won't find in any guidebook.

Hon Chong Rocks – Myth & Ritual: We descend to the water’s edge to touch the legendary giant’s handprint. Hear the myths and witness the "Ritual of Light" as the sun hits the stones. We’ll take a "soul-soothing" break at a seaside cafe where the waves crash right beneath your feet.

The Coastal Flow – Walking the Ocean Road: This is the heart of our journey. We will stroll along the scenic ocean-side pavement, feeling the salt in the air and watching the rhythmic life of the bay as we head toward the historic center.

The Great Divide – Tran Phu Bridge & Yersin Park: We reach the emotional peak as we cross the bridge. To one side, the quiet heritage of the North; to the other, the glowing pulse of the South.

The Sunset Encounter: As the "Golden Hour" arrives, stand by the statue of the Western scientist Alexandre Yersin and look across the river at the glowing 1,200-year-old Ponagar Cham Towers. It is the only place where Science and Spirituality meet in one spectacular sunset.

CHOOSE YOUR MAGIC

DAWN (06:00 AM): Witness the sun rising from the ocean at Hon Chong—a pure energy start to your day.

DUSK (03:30 PM): Experience the "Golden Flow." Watch the sunset paint the ancient towers in orange as the city lights begin to sparkle. (Highly Recommended!)

WHY THIS IS THE ONLY TOUR YOU NEED

Professional English Audio Guide: Crystal-clear storytelling. No language barriers, just pure emotion.

Secret Photography Spots: We help you capture "once-in-a-lifetime" shots from the best high-angle viewpoints.

The True Insider Story: We show you the "Why" and "How" of Nha Trang’s soul.

Important Notes:

Duration: A perfect 2 - 2.5 hour flow.

What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and your best camera.

Personal expenses:

Hon Chong Entrance Fee: 30,000 VND/person (required if you want to access the inner rock area and the giant's handprint).

Coffee/Drinks: Approx. 30,000 - 50,000 VND for our seaside "chill" break.

Please have small cash ready as these are not included in the free tour.


Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:
La San Slope
Main Gate of Ton Duc Thang University (Near the Pedestrian Overpass). Located on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, right at the foot of the pedestrian overpass. This is a perfect, easy-to-find landmark. I will be waiting for you near the entrance in casual, neat attire (usually a light shirt and a black cap), ready to greet you with a smile as we begin our journey between the "Citadel of Knowledge" and the vast ocean. Stay Connected: While my outfit may vary slightly, I will contact you via the GuruWalk messaging system immediately after your booking is confirmed. I’ll share my exact look and real-time location to ensure we find each other easily (fully compliant with GuruWalk policies).
