Vinh Hy Bay, one of the country’s four most beautiful bays with unspoiled natural scenery, is a perfect destination for ecological tours. The bay has become popular with local and international tourists thanks to the "Awaking Vinh Hy" tour offered by Saigon-Ninh Chu Hotel.

 

Vinh Hy Bay is located in Ninh Thuan Province in the "tourism-triangle" of Vietnam alongside Nha Trang and Dalat cities.

 

Vinh Hy Bay is located in Ninh Thuan Province in the "tourism-triangle" of Vietnam alongside Nha Trang and Dalat cities, with natural landscapes of long cactus sand banks, calm sea and the legendary Cham culture.

 

The province is famous for many tourist attractions including Nam Cuong red sand dunes, Nai lagoon Krong Pha hot spring, Lo O stream, or cultural features like Poklong Garai tower, Bau Truc pottery and My Nghiep brocade village.

 

However, Vinh Hy Bay remains the most attractive place where the most beautiful coral reefs in the country can be found according to a survey by the United Nations environment program. As an eco-tourist spot in Nui Chua National Park, the bay has preserved its rural beauty with white sandbanks circling steep rocky mountains and streams babbling extensive green forests.

 

From Phan Rang City, the trip to Vinh Hy Bay covers a distance of 40 kilometers through rolling mountains and hills lying on deep-blue sea water.

 

Visitors to Vinh Hy Bay can stay at the four-star Saigon-Ninh Chu Hotel, the largest accommodation base in Ninh Thuan Province under the Saigontourist Holding Company. The hotel offers participants of the "Awaking Vinh Hy" tour a variety of eco and cultural destinations as well as many interesting teambuilding games this summer.

 

The car journey starts in HCMC including a breakfast at Van Thanh Park and lunch at Mui Ne beach in Phan Thiet City. Travelers will reach Ninh Thuan Province in the afternoon. There they can learn about the Cham culture at Poklong Garai tower, a special building reflecting the essence of the Cham ethnic groups architecture.

 

On the next morning the trip to Vinh Hy Bay begins on a glass-bottom across Ba Dien (Mad lady) beach to enjoy diving, bathing, and seafood. When night falls, tourists can take part in exciting "Mission Impossible" teambuilding games and a dinner gala on the beach in front of Saigon-Ninh Chu Hotel.

 

On the last day of the trip, tourists will go to Cham Bau Truc pottery village, one of the oldest such villages in South-east Asia where all distinctive baked products are hand-made. My Nghiep brocade village is also a must-see to learn about beautiful brocade products and some features of the Cham culture and daily life of local residents.
