1. About Hon Tre Island in Nha Trang
If you are looking for a place to soothe your soul, Hon Tre in Vietnam is surely for you. The very name means the island of bamboo in Vietnamese. That’s why it is not surprising that you can find the natural habitats of bamboo on this island.
Located 5 kilometers east of Nha Trang center, Hon Tre boasts a long swath of soft white sand, invitingly calm turquoise waters, and luscious forests. The star of this wonderful island is definitely the mesmerizing beaches dotted with rustling palms. They are sheltered from the ocean storm and wind by the mountain fringes. Thus, the waves there are pretty gentle.
There are two seasons on Hon Tre. One is the rainy season, which lasts from September to December and the other is the dry season from January to August. It is ideal for tourists to visit this natural wonder during the dry season when the resonance of temperate climate and captivating beauty of nature are at its finest.
Arriving in Hon Tre, Nha Trang, you will be in awe of the biodiversity of the island’s fauna and flora. In the shallows, you will find an abundance of colorful coral reefs. After months of shutting-in and social distance, now you can free yourself in an enchanted land of dazzling light, lush vegetation and beautiful sea, not to mention hospitable and welcoming locals.
