Nha Trang: Private Shore Excursion with Home Lunch

Begin your day with a visit to Xom Moi or Dam Market, where locals gather each morning to shop for produce, spices, flowers, and household goods. Walk through narrow alleys filled with colors, aromas, and chatter. It’s the perfect place to grab a sunhat or snack while soaking in the city’s real rhythm.

Next, step back in time at Phu Vinh Ancient Village, tucked quietly within Nha Trang city. With over 200 years of history, this peaceful neighborhood is home to traditional wooden houses with tile roofs, carved columns, and tranquil gardens. Visit a preserved ancestral home, sip tea in the shade of fruit trees, and hear stories of family life passed down through generations.

Then, enjoy a highlight of the tour: lunch at a local family’s home. Share a simple, delicious Vietnamese meal made from fresh ingredients bought at the market that morning. This is more than food — it’s cultural connection, kindness, and storytelling around the table.

In the afternoon, visit the sacred Po Nagar Cham Towers, built between the 7th and 12th centuries. These stunning sandstone towers are a testament to the Cham people’s spiritual legacy and architectural brilliance.

Before returning to your ship, stop briefly at a local pearl jewelry shop or the renowned XQ Hand Embroidery gallery, where you can browse for high-quality souvenirs in a relaxed, air-conditioned space.

Throughout the tour, your English-speaking guide will share insights into history, traditions, and modern local life — making this journey not just a shore excursion, but a genuine experience of Nha Trang’s soul.
