Nha Trang has a warm climate, with a dry season lasting from January to August and no freezing winters. As a result, travelers can visit throughout the year. It is more sunny and hot from April through the end of June, but not too scorching.

It began to rain sporadically in September, but this had little effect on tourist activities. It rains more from October through December, possibly accompanied by chilly air. Because this is no longer the peak season for domestic tourism in Nha Trang, it is ideal for those seeking a peaceful vacation.

Transportation

Currently, flights from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, to Nha Trang via Cam Ranh airport are operated by Vietnamese airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, and Jetstar. Bamboo Airways operates a service from Hanoi. Tickets cost between 1,400,000 VND and 2,500,000 VND.

Cam Ranh Airport is located approximately 35 kilometers from the city center. Taxi providers will pick up passengers for approximately 300,000 VND per trip. Visitors can also use the route 18 bus, which costs 50,000 VND one way.

Nha Trang is not a large city, and the main road runs along the beach, so visitors should rent a motorbike to get around, especially if they want Vietnam to sample the local cuisine. Renting a motorcycle costs between 100,000 and 150,000 VND. Typically, hotels will offer this service.

Hon Lao is a unique site, home to over 1,500 monkeys. Visitors can view them everywhere on the island as they walk around.
