However, have you ever heard about MALDIVES OF VIETNAM?

Let’s explore  Diep Son Island , here is experience for the “escape” trip from A – Z  to the blue sea

ISLANDS SON, MALDIVES OF VIETNAM? ? ??

Diep Son Island: is a series of 3 small islands, located in the waters of Van Phong Bay, Khanh Hoa.

* How to go to Diep Son? ? ?

– I’m going to camp overnight. At night, take the car from Saigon to Phu Yen, tell the driver to get off at Van Gia port, then take a motorbike taxi to the port only about 2km. Go there and wait for the canoe to go to the island. Ah! I heard that electricity on the island is only available from 6pm to 9pm, so after 9pm you have to move on your own.

– From here you take high-speed train to the island for 200K / way (round trip) of Diep Son Quan. Up there, there is each service of this company, right at the wharf. The boat goes to Diep Son from 9:00 to 11:00, depending on the country every day. The time the train returns to the mainland is about 5 to 6 am. Train running about 30 to 40 minutes will reach Diep Son.

– On occasions of holidays, the canoes are seen infrequently and continuously. As for weekdays, if you go during the day, if you do not camp overnight, you should go to 8am – 9am trip. Back then, there are flights from 13:00, 14:00 and 16:00.

+ Where to eat – stay

– You can stay in a hut for 400K or sleep in a 200K tent in Diep Son Quan. For cheaper, cheaper, you should stay at a village’s house with a cost of about 80K / day.

– You can eat there because you see Diep Son Quan contractor for the whole area near the sea road, the food here is quite delicious, there is a very delicious sim chili sauce. I see that the food here is suitable for everything, affordable price has not been cut.

+ Pros: It was fun to stay at the hut nearby, all afternoon I played and showered with the kids, there were some mossy dogs. At night, he was able to check squid, shrimp, and catch grilled fish with children working at that restaurant and Mr. Bay was handsome and unforgettable. Leaning back for a while and opening my eyes, it was dawn, the cool wind was very pleasant and fresh.

+ Disadvantage: Because it is in the hut, it does not fan, close to nature, so there are many mosquitoes, if you want to sleep well, remember to get mosquito nets. There are no mattresses here. Those who are not used to sleeping will find it difficult to sleep.

+ Play place

– Go kayaking and sightseeing, walking on the sea. At noon here is the best time, at that time the sprint is a little bit, you can walk to the small island connecting the other side. Enter the villagers’ village, climb up the mountain to see the whole view.

– Diep Son Island is beautiful but is probably the tourist season and this is a hot place so it is very touristy. From 7am to 2pm, a lot of people are crowded, only in the afternoon from 16:00 is quiet and peaceful I like this late afternoon best, watching the sea, playing with dogs, digging for S Sung …
