Timeline

  1. 09:00

    Monkey Island

    Take the ferry to Monkey Island. The pier is located 1 km further north of the island itself, so allow time to reach it first. Once on the island, you will find a population of monkeys and a simple go-cart track.

  2. 10:30

    Monkey Island

    Watch the 10:00 circus performance. This is a key part of the island experience and fits perfectly into a mid-morning schedule.

  3. 11:30

    Monkey Island

    Head back to the mainland. Since there are no food or shop options listed on the island or in the immediate context, return to Nha Trang city center to find lunch.

Local tip

The circus runs at 10:00, so aim to be on the island before then. There are no dining options listed on the island, so plan to eat after you return to the city.

Check before you go

  • Check the ferry route and schedule from the pier located 1 km north of the island.
  • Ensure you arrive at the island with enough time to reach the pier and board the ferry before the 10:00 circus starts.
