This tourist destination nestled in Nha Trang Bay isn't just alluring for its blue skies, white sands, and fresh air, but also for its thrilling adrenaline-pumping activities: parasailing, jet skiing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, coral reef exploration...
Parasailing
For parasailing, wear a life jacket and safety harness. The large parachute behind you is connected to the harness and the towing rope of the boat in front. As the rope pulls you, remember to run, keeping your knees slightly bent to avoid dragging them on the sand; if you forget, the staff will lift you up. The boat accelerates, towing you a few meters before the parachute swiftly lifts you off the ground. You'll feel like you're sitting on a flying carpet, experiencing the true essence of freedom.
Under the radiant golden sun, the beach, tents, and forests shrink gradually. The cool, crisp high-altitude air refreshes the soul; it's as if your spirit is being cleansed. Enjoy these magical moments. Amidst the vast, pristine waters, you suddenly feel more generous, tolerant, and remorseful for sometimes being petty in this lovely life.
Suddenly, the towing rope slackens, and for the first time, you experience the exhilarating leap of parasailing, a feeling beyond words. As your feet touch the water, the boat accelerates again, propelling you skyward once more. A few minutes later, the towing rope slackens again. Depending on the terrain and wind direction, the technical staff will guide you to “touch land” (on the sandy shore) or “touch water” (on the sea surface).
Jet Skiing
When it comes to jet skiing, it's almost like riding a motorcycle. You'll wear a life jacket and be guided on how to operate and handle it, even if the jet ski flips over.
Amidst the vast blue sea, you can zoom freely, although few dare to reach speeds of 70-80 km/h as the water splashing on your face becomes unbearable. Flipping the jet ski is normal; when it overturns, it remains afloat, and you simply climb back on and continue riding.
Underwater Coral Exploration
Coral reefs are among the most marvelous ecosystems of the ocean. The deeper and farther from the shore, the more beautiful the coral. Coral, seagrass, and seaweed gather to form vast 'fields' or cover the 'hillsides' beneath the sea. There are coral carpets with ivory hues, with bright yellow tips resembling flowers. Sometimes, in the 'valleys' of coral, you can spot multicolored coral gardens: white, pale pink, deep blue... appearing like soft swaying grass in the water.
Coral reefs also serve as a 'fashion show runway' for marine fish; they adorn themselves in crimson, deep blue, or golden white attire, gracefully circling around the soft sea anemones. You'll be guided on how to use diving equipment, prevent ear pain, and breathe with scuba tanks... Trainers will closely monitor you throughout the aquatic journey. Remember, some coral species only grow about 1 cm per year. To have the magnificent coral park today, nature took hundreds of years to form. Therefore, behave appropriately with the coral, respecting the marine culture.
Exploring Hon Tam Beach offers not only the thrill of exciting activities and the freedom to swim in the cool, emerald waters reminiscent of jade but also the chance to indulge in a wide variety of freshly caught and expertly prepared seafood served in restaurants right near the beach. Therefore, if you find yourself in Nha Trang, you should definitely visit Hon Tam Beach at least once, as it will truly leave an unforgettable impression of allure and charm…
