I want to recommend @Ksenia_BigTravelChat We booked a speedboat to the southern islands as a private trip for our group. Everything was well organized, and Ksenia replies very fast! The boat was good and clean. On board we had water and a box of ice to chill our wine and prosecco. The staff were polite, and best of all, they took us to the islands before anyone else arrived, so we had time for lots of photos (once the main group tours arrive, that's impossible because of the crowds). We had our own drone and flew it plenty, but we also used the drone filming included in the price, and I got the finished photos right away via AirDrop. Thank you, Ksenia, for organizing a wonderful island trip! 🙏🏼

Hello Ksenia! We were delighted with the tour and loved everything about it, especially the guide, a wonderful man. We were also very happy that you added the Coconut Prison, because it wasn't in our program at first and we really wanted to go. One of the girls in our group was set on it. It was great that they let us taste everything instead of just talking about it. We tried fish sauce there and some kind of alcohol too. In short, we're delighted with you. We have another tour with you coming up: we booked a yacht, well, a boat, for the 23rd. So far everything is great. Thank you for Mikhail too, he helped us a lot. We've been getting around everywhere on his ticket for several days now.

5 Islands tour: at the second stop you get photo and video shooting, which is included in the price. You can rent flowing dresses on site, since the photos are taken on a swing. You can bring your own outfit to save time on changing. The beaches were clean, there were no waves, and there were no extra stops at random shops with pressure to buy something. Our guides were Igor and Marina, so it was easy to ask for any extra information. Some toilets were paid: 10 VND, showers 20 VND, so bring small change. Lunch was filling and Vietnamese.

Safari + Star Beach: at the zoo we added a buggy for an extra 100 VND per person, so we didn't have to walk in the heat and could see everything. There was a great bird show, very interesting animal areas, a nicely designed park and plenty of shade. Lunch was very tasty, and you can try the freshest oysters and sea urchins there for 50-60 VND each. I recommend doing it this way, because elsewhere it's unclear when they were caught. The road to Star Beach is quite rough, so I don't recommend going on your own: the road is under repair, and riding a bike there in the dark takes superhuman driving skills. Our guides were Maria and Anh. Maria knows a lot about life in Vietnam, and Anh is a Vietnamese man who speaks good Russian because he studied in Ufa. They are great to talk to and told us about local traditions, where to buy things and plenty of other useful information.

How to prepare for sea fishing in Nha Trang
📌 Comfortable shoes
The boat deck can be wet and slippery, so wear shoes with non-slip soles. Skip the heels so you can stand steady on deck while fishing.
🧴 Sun protection
The sun feels stronger on the water, so bring SPF cream, sunglasses and a hat. That way you can enjoy several hours at sea without overheating.
🧥 A light layer
It can be windy and cool on the water in the evening and at night, especially during squid fishing. A light sweater keeps you comfortable while moving between spots and waiting for a bite.
💊 Seasickness remedy
If you are prone to seasickness, take a tablet in advance, especially before heading out to sea. Then you can enjoy the fishing and relax on deck.
💰 Cash
Bring a small amount of cash for tips, personal purchases or extra requests on the spot. Paying by card is not always possible at sea or in the port.
📱 A charged phone
Your phone will come in handy for photos of your catch, the sea and the sunsets, and for contacting the administrator. Take a power bank if you plan to shoot a lot.

Sea Fishing in Nha Trang: FAQ
Do I need fishing experience?
No, you don't need experience. The crew will show you how to hold the rod, how to set the bait and what to do when you get a bite. Beginners usually catch something within the first hours. Just listen to the team.
Will I catch anything?
You usually do get a catch, especially on the morning trip and with trolling. Squid often bite when attracted by light, but nature is unpredictable, so no one can guarantee a number of fish.
Can I bring children?
Yes, but the format matters. The night fishing trip is long and late, so it suits teenagers and adults best. The morning fishing + snorkeling trip is calmer and works well if your child handles the sea well and follows safety rules.
What is included in the price?
The program usually includes the boat, crew, tackle and bait, plus food and drinks (on the night and morning trips). The morning trip often provides snorkeling masks, but please confirm the details when you book.
How do I book?
Message Ksenia on Telegram. She will check available dates, confirm your format (squid / morning + snorkeling) and help with the transfer. A prepayment may be requested to secure your booking.
What is the difference between the three tours: squid, morning + snorkeling and barracuda?
Squid fishing is an evening trip with night fishing under lamps, barbecue and a relaxed atmosphere. The morning tour with snorkeling is a full day: bottom fishing, lunch and swimming at the reefs.
What should I bring to stay comfortable?
Bring SPF sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a light jacket for the wind, especially in the evening. For the morning tour, take a swimsuit, a towel and, if you like, a waterproof phone case.
Will I get seasick, and what can I do?
If you are prone to seasickness, take a motion sickness remedy in advance and don't go out on an empty stomach. On the boat, sit near the center and look at the horizon. It helps a lot.
Can I take my catch with me?
You can usually take photos of your catch, and part of the fish can be cooked on board. Whether you can take fish with you depends on the tour format and the captain's decision. It's best to check with Ksenia when you book.
