After hotel pickup, we gathered at the port and headed out on a speed boat.
From my last experience, I knew the local staff on the boat would greet us with a welcome dance, so I planned to capture it on camera, but my seat wasn't ideal ㅠ
And this time, it was even more upgraded! They even added a welcome dive ㅋㅋㅋ
As you enter to enthusiastic cheers, champagne, mangoes, pizza, and beer are waiting for you.
I devoured it immediately ㅋㅋㅋ
The first time, I was a bit nervous and hesitant, unsure of how things would unfold, but now that I know the ropes, I can relax and enjoy it! ㅋㅋ
It's best to eat as soon as you sit down.
After the staff greet you and explain the equipment, snorkeling and fishing begin.
So, it's good to eat early so you can jump straight into the ocean.
Oh, and they said they invested a lot in the new waterslide. That's probably fun too, but I tried something similar (even smaller) before and found it scary, so I skipped it this time.
When doing a Nha Trang island hopping tour, if you're not feeling super energetic and need to conserve your strength... I can confidently say that you can skip the first snorkeling spot.
The real fun is at the second one.
This spot is just for warming up, you know, like a warm-up?
I did go in this time, but next time, I think I'll skip the first one and just go for the second! ㅋㅋ
I'll either eat more or try the waterslide instead.
After finishing your time in the water, crab ramyeon (Korean instant noodles) will be waiting for you. Ramyeon after water activities is pure bliss!
Oh, and it wasn't just plain baguette bread, it was Banh Mi! Each one was filled with different delicious flavors.
Immediately following is the diving session (for those who want to) and a cocktail party.
It's this high, and from the side, it looks doable, but once you're standing up there, it's quite nerve-wracking ㅋㅋㅋ
Last time, I chickened out... but this time, I went for it! ㅋㅋ
The cocktail party is a signature event, and it's literally a Crazy Party! ㅋㅋ
You truly have to experience it to understand.
Participation isn't mandatory, so if you prefer not to, you can just sit back like that.
However, since everyone usually goes out and joins in ㅋㅋ, the seats tend to empty out like that.
By this point, everyone was just burning with excitement... and they repeatedly thanked our guide, saying how absolutely wonderful it was.
Honestly, everyone was having such an unrestrained blast, but guess what? That wasn't even the end! Haha.
After that, we headed to Hon Mun Island, the true highlight of the Nha Trang island hopping tour.
This place is a military zone, so only authorized companies can enter, and you can't stay for long.
But seriously, the ocean here is the real MVP.
It's the perfect spot for snorkeling in Nha Trang.
It's emerald-hued and so incredibly clear you can see the sunlight dancing through the water.
Plus, it's teeming with fish!
No time for dilly-dallying here! With such a beautiful ocean teeming with fish, I was already in my life jacket when we arrived, so I was the very first one to dive in!
After soaking in that dreamy emerald glow, it was time to move on for lunch.
We're heading to Soi Beach, where some seriously delicious food is waiting for us.
For those who pre-booked the mud bath hot spring, you'll be off to Hon Tam Island!
While most people pick the cocktail party as the absolute highlight of the Crazy Hopping Tour, I personally find the time spent here at Soi Beach equally wonderful.
After we eat, they actually give us a surprising amount of free time,
You can just chill on a sunbed, gaze out at the ocean, and even sneak in a lovely little nap,
enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee,
If you're still craving more marine activities, this is your chance to dive back in.
They offer parasailing, jet skiing, sea walking, and even scuba diving!
Or, if that's not your vibe, simply stroll along the beach or enjoy some more personal water fun.
From my experience, a leisurely post-meal coffee followed by one activity is the perfect balance.
If you're just focusing on activities, two are definitely doable. And if you're truly passionate about marine sports, you could probably squeeze in three! (Though it might be a tad hectic).
Like the skin diving I did last time, and

My recent sea walking experience.
If you're someone who loves dynamic activities, you might find it a little underwhelming, but the big advantage is the panoramic view, right?
The visibility is incredibly clear, allowing you to see our fishy friends right up close. Plus, you don't have to worry about breathing or anything, making it super comfortable.
A staff member holds onto your shoulder from behind the whole time, which really adds to the sense of security.
If you're not yet comfortable with going underwater or equalizing, this could be a great option.
The tour I did was led by a Korean guide,

The itinerary was so packed and well-organized, there wasn't a dull moment! Haha.
The Crazy Party was fun, but personally, I really cherished the peaceful time at Soi Beach.
And just like that, my Nha Trang island hopping tour review comes to an end!~
The Crazy Party is a signature activity of this tour, held alongside diving time. Participation is not mandatory; you can choose to sit and relax if you prefer. After this party, you will move to Hon Mun Island.
According to the article, the first snorkeling point is just a warm-up, so you can skip it if you need to conserve energy. The real snorkeling experience can be enjoyed at the second point.
Hon Mun Island is a military zone, so only authorized operators can enter, and visitors cannot stay for long. With its emerald sea and abundant fish, it is a very good spot for snorkeling in Nha Trang.
At Soi Beach, you can additionally enjoy parasailing, jet skiing, sea walking, and scuba diving. It is mentioned that doing one activity with a post-meal coffee, or focusing solely on activities, two activities would be appropriate.
