Vinh Hy Bay nestles between pristine forests, mountains, and emerald blue seas. This is one of the four most beautiful bays in Vietnam, renowned for its diverse marine ecosystem, fine white sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters that you can see to the bottom.
This bay area is surrounded by Nui Chua National Park – home to the most unique dry flora ecosystem in Southeast Asia, creating a rare harmonious natural landscape.
Geographically, Vinh Hy lies at the boundary between the central and south-central coastal regions, featuring diverse terrain with limestone mountains, caves, freshwater streams, and coral reefs.
The climate here is tropical monsoon but dry, with abundant sunshine, very suitable for outdoor tourism activities year-round – an ideal destination INTOUR recommends for companies and businesses looking to organize Ninh Chu teambuilding tours to bond their staff!
The history and culture of Vinh Hy are closely tied to the lives of local residents, mainly Cham and Kinh people, who make their living from fishing and aquaculture. This area not only holds ecological value but also contains rustic and distinctive local cultural features.
Here, you can experience activities such as glass-bottom boat tours to view coral reefs, swimming at Ba Dien Beach, exploring Rai Cave, or trekking through the dry forests of Nui Chua National Park.

Taxis are also a quick option, though quite expensive for small groups. Additionally, you can take the Phan Rang – Vinh Hy bus route, but ask about schedules first as buses don't run very frequently and mainly serve local residents.
