Nha Trang speedboottocht plus modderbad op het eiland Hon Tam

We ended up on a tour that we didn't book. The young tour guides were unsure and we were left without a choice. We booked a day at Hon Tam Island with lunch and mud baths and ended up on a 3 island tour with only a couple of hours at the island of our choice. The guides were lovely, highly recommend Hon Tam!

Must Read! The trip is overall worth it but there is some things to understand when booking with THIS Tour company. They want a copy of your passports, this wasn't explained in the booking process however was mandatory and we had to eventually give in when we think it was totally not necessary and a breach of privacy. However they put us in that situation last minute under pressure, we did reach out to the booking company Viator and they said it was for car insurance but a translate told us it was for Vietnamese police. So very shady and we will be notifying our embassy after this review as well as putting ourselves on identify theft watch. The tour guide spoke very little English, other tour guides spoke more and at these busy busy spots he asked them to communicate with us a time or two. The jet ski is a rip off, 25$ USD for 12min (I timed it). The machines are older and we booked 2 people for 1 jetski but they have someone ride with you and 3 people is to much so it really struggled to accelerate however good top speed. The parasailing is also 10min but much more enjoyable. This first stop is a huge money grab, very busy, they rush you, it's over priced and they pump the people through it. But just go in knowing that and do the parasailing (was our first time but totally a nice view and experience) The second stop is a fish farm for lunch, you don't need to buy anything if you just want egg, rice, fish, spring rolls, squid. The fish farm sells extra. We had a crab but they were medium size and tough to eat due to this, also tried urchin but the way it was cooked made the flavour 80% charcoal. Save your money or buy a lobster. The mud baths were good, alot of wiaitng around for the first bit. Bring your own bathing suits and travel towels to avoid the high rental cost. Also keep your tickets with you. They won't fill a mud bath without the ticket even though you went through ticket security. Oh and science shows 30min is needed for absorbtion through the skin so stay in at least 30min. Bring your camera the resort is really nice and the miner pools up top are very well done. Good trip all in all just more touristy then we prefer in general, a fair bit of miss communication and to much waiting around in between doing stuff for my liking however I still had a great day.

The guide explain only in Vietnamese. I have to guess what is to happen or try to listen to the explanation of other guide.
