It’s about 100 kilometers north of Nha Trang city and about 2.5 hours by car from Cam Ranh International Airport.
They get there by first reaching Dam Mon Pier (Ben Tau Dam Mon), and then a 20–30 minute boat ride in serene turquoise waters to the island.

Paddle across the serene bay as the sun goes down behind the mountains. The stillness of the water and the soft colors of the sky create a moment of serenity you will never forget. There are kayaks available for use during the day, but the golden hour is most captivating.

The best visit time to Whale Island Nha Trang is from March to October, when you experience warm, sunny, and dry conditions. It is the optimal time for water sports like snorkeling, kayaking, and dinners on the beach. We would advise you against visiting between November to February when rain and stormy seas have the potential to spoil your trip.
Because Whale Island Resort Nha Trang is a private island with no banks and ATMs, bring enough cash to cover any incidentals that you may be charged. And don’t forget to pack insect repellent, relaxed clothes, sandals, beach clothes, and reef-safe sunscreen. Don’t bother with the dress shoes; this island living is a barefoot paradise.
Think about pairing Whale Island Resort Nha Trang with an overnight in Nha Trang city. A 3-day 2-night package tour is perfect for couples who want adventure and relaxation. Start in the city, end on the island, and enjoy the contrast of city buzz and island peace.
Whale Island Resort Nha Trang is not only a honeymoon destination, but it’s where love slows down and nature gently wraps around you. Unlike the typical resorts in Nha Trang, this secluded island offers something more profound: true serenity, complete privacy, and authentic experiences. Far from the crowds and noise, it’s a place where your love story can unfold in peace. Let Impress Travel take you to Whale Island Nha Trang, where every wave whispers just for the two of you.
We went on a private trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, the whole trip plan was organized for us by the Impress Travel Company from Vietnam, the company did an amazing job, the whole trip was organized in a wonderful way with an amazing match between the various parties, their choices were correct and the quality of the hotels chosen were very high quality and it is important to note that the price was low in comparison To other agencies, thanks to Impress Travel and especially to Daniel who was tolerant and open to changes and organized the route for us.
Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!

I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
