We did the half day tour which was great. We had Sam (Englishman) as our guide and he was awesome. Nothing was a problem, he was very informative and We learnt a lot about the sea life and coral. I didn’t feel it was too touristy, boat was good, good lunch served. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nha Trang

Very good

Sue_J, Feb 2024

The boat was clean and well equipped, with wetsuits for anyone who needed them as well as snorkelling equipment. Everything was clearly explained and we had plenty of time in the water. We stopped at two sites and both had lots of different fish, blue starfish and coral. Lunch was very good and had plenty of veggie options. A very good trip.

Great snorkelling tour....

Matilda_P, Feb 2024

Great snorkelling tour. Staff was friendly and helpful, 2 spots were nice and lunch was good. Also went by a big, pretty slow boat which was nice if you are prone so seasickness

Amazing day trip where you get alot for the money!

Siri_L, Feb 2024

This was an amazing trip! Here you get alot for the money! Very friendly and funny guides who also had made a great meal for us- tasted delicious! The reefs were sadly mostly dead, but some of it was alive and there was alot of colorful fishiesaround 🩵🧡💛 I had a great time- recommend it!

Professional and friendly...

Professional and friendly crew, nice boat and fun snorkelling! Not great sight under the water this day due to strong wind and waves but still good experience, I saw lots of funny fish.

They forgot two people on the water and left them there

randilaws, Nov 2023

This was the worst excursion we’ve ever done on vacation. They picked us up from our hotel at 8am and we continued to pick up others until 845. We got to the dock waited a bit until the boat came. No one introduced themselves so I can’t give names. This isn’t hosted by locals. It seems like it was a family trip we were invited to. But once we got on the boat it was over 2 hours until we finally got into the water. No one bothered to tell us what was happening, anything about the area, their names, NOTHING. Once we finally got to the first stop she said “ok the water is choppy and kind of dirty but we’re here”. What??? We got in and there were jellyfish in the water no one warned us about that kept stinging us. My bf and I aren’t great swimmers so we wore life vests and were obviously struggling in the intense water and no one bothered to check on us or anybody in our group. I was so sick because of how intense the waves were so we got back on the boat and again, no one bothered to check on us. The next stop the water was calmer but we were only there for a short time. And I felt like no one cared about us so I just kept an eye on the “host” the entire time because no one gave any signal about when the boat would take off and her only objective was to hang out with her family/friends. So when I saw her and her friends get back on the boat, I grabbed my bf and said let’s go up too. Thank God we did. Bc the boat took off shortly after headed back to the dock and 20 minutes later they got a call from another boat that THEY FORGOT TWO PEOPLE IN THE WATER!!!!!! Yes! They forgot two of the people from our group at the last stop. There were only maybe 20 people on the boat so it would have taken them exactly 20 seconds to do a headcount. But they didn’t care about any of us AT ALL so those poor people were left in the water. Thank goodness another boat found them there. Then we went back to retrieve them and there was no empathy. I was the only person to ask if they were ok????? Absolutely disgusting behavior. And then another 2 hours back to shore. I would suggest booking one of the speed boats that are a lot faster and probably not leaving their patrons stranded in open water. Stay FAR AWAY!!!

Great snorkeling trip

Michael_B, Nov 2023

Pick up was smooth. Nice and entertaining guide, that made us feel safe. Food was good. Maybe you encounter jellyfish while snorkeling, so you can ask the guide for a wet suit, but the jellyfish are not so bad.

Amazing, can't recommend enough!

Patrik_P, Sep 2023

This was great! The crew were friendly and super helpful, the snorkling stops were amazing. They take you outside the usual touristic crowded areas, so it's beautiful and peaceful. The gear was of good quality and you have enough time and freedom to explore as much as you want!

Magic day

Lindsay_W, Sep 2023

We had a great day from the hustle & bustle of the harbour to the beautiful warm water & the colourful fish, the crew were amazing & looked after us all trip we had a great day & would do this again on our next visit

Really good. Highly recommended

Bob_B, Aug 2023

Hosts were great. Informative, helpful and fun. Food was amazing. Snorkelling gear very good. Prescription mask excellent

Amazing snorkeling and diving experience from a professional and friendly crew!

Raman_S, Jul 2023

We booked this snorkeling tour after having a bad experience with another tour operator. Vietnam Active team was amazing! They picked us up from our hotel on time, we then took a slow boat to the diving and snorkeling location. The tour and guides were super organized and very friendly! What a team! Even though we signed up for snorkeling we decided to upgrade to diving after realizing that it’s easy to do. We were able to do that and the crew explained the key concepts of diving and guided us along. The masks and all other equipment are high quality and we could see well under water. I was also able to pay with a touch card (pay wave) on board for the upgrade. Breakfast included coffee, water and some fruits. Lunch had both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Was very nice. Amazing crew spoke English, Russian, French and German. Would highly recommend this tour to couples, friends and all other groups!

Great day

sally_W, May 2023

Nice boat with a great crew, led by the lovely and vivacious Huy. Snorkelling views were limited but OK, impacted by visibility on the day. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip though.

Nice snorkel or dive cruise with good food and friendly peoples

Michael_H, Apr 2023

Nice tour with 2 stops and a great lunch, friendly crew and good equipment. Only downside there could be more fish and less trash, but idiots from other tours throw their trash where we snorkeled but people from the boat and crew cleaned up that was nice.

Great tour! We had a lot...

Albert_F, Apr 2023

Great tour! We had a lot of fun. Provided lunch was delicious! We were very pleased with overall experience.

Must-try Experience.

Lee_H, Mar 2023

Jack is nice and took care of us every moment. We were well-equipped and guided before diving. Island is cool too.

Sparkling golden coral when the sun's out

Adela_B, Mar 2023

Some beautiful coral, quite a few fish, plenty of sea urchins and multi coloured star fish. Suppoertive crew and simple but yummy food provisions.

Not Good

greg_b, Feb 2023

Staff was nice but the snorkeling was the worse I have ever experienced. Thfew fish and marine life. Liked line a Dead Sea and the garage along the shore line really made the site disgusting. I would highly recommend skipping this tour. Greg Baker USA

Fabulous

Seth_P, Feb 2023

This was my second trip with this same boat! Fabulous time!! They are very personal and truly care for their customers. The coral is just out of this world and so many different kinds. I saw clown fish and many others. The lunch is outstanding. They truly care and your safety is number 1. Highly recommended. I live in Hawaii so I believe I know what I’m talking about.

Wonderful time

Seth_P, Feb 2023

Great guides, easy safe trip, coral!!! Great food. I loved it so much I’m going to book another trip with them!

Nice day out in the water!

TuyetTran, Feb 2023

Snorkeling and seeing some fish and coral even though the water was a little murky. We were 3 out of 12 that were only Snorkeling, so were left last to be sorted with our gear and instructions. Once we had a guide assigned to us, he made sure we had what we needed and even jumped into the water to show us where to swim. Food a nice home cooked meal.
