Nha Trang Sunset Catamaran Cruise — Snorkel, SUP, Fishing & BBQ
Board a shared catamaran for five hours of snorkeling, SUP, fishing and a beachfront-style BBQ as Nha Trang’s sun slides below the horizon. This accessible evening cruise balances active water stops with a relaxed dinner-and-music finale.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use sunscreen labeled ‘reef-safe’ to protect coral during snorkeling and to avoid fines at protected sites.
Prepare for seasickness
Even on calm days the bay can get choppy at dusk—take anti-nausea meds before boarding if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Carry ID and waterproof cash
Bring passport or ID and small cash for onboard alcohol purchases—alcoholic drinks are payable on the boat and minimum drinking age is 18.
Pack quick-dry footwear
Water shoes or sandals with grip make launching from the swim platform easier and protect feet on rocky shore entries.
