From Touchdown to Beach Town: A Family Travel Guide to Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa

Landing at Cam Ranh International Terminal is only the start of a family getaway to Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa, and the journey into the city is simple and flexible. Metered taxis cost approximately SGD 20–30 per ride, ride-hailing through Grab or Xanh SM is around SGD 25 per ride, and buses cost roughly SGD 3.50–5 per ticket with a travel time of 50 to 70 minutes. Families can then choose the style of stay that suits them best. Beachfront resorts such as The Anam, The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh, The Alma Resort and Mövenpick Resort Cam Ranh lie a short drive from the terminal along Bãi Dài, where the water is shallow and calm for much of the year. They offer a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, with family-friendly facilities and dedicated kids’ play areas. Those who prefer to stay close to Nha Trang’s beach, shopping and local attractions can opt for city stays such as InterContinental Nha Trang and Hyatt Regency Nha Trang.

Beyond the beach, Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa rewards families who go looking for culture and local charm. In the city, Po Nagar Cham Towers show the refined architecture of the Cham people and were ranked a national special relic in 2025. Long Son Pagoda, with its grand Buddha statues, and the iconic Nha Trang Cathedral, with its Gothic architecture, complete a day of heritage sightseeing. Further afield, visitors can wander through the tropical fruit gardens of Khánh Sơn, where durian is among the local favourites. In southern Khanh Hoa, around the Phan Rang area, traditional Cham craft villages offer hands-on discoveries. Bàu Trúc pottery is shaped by hand without a potter’s wheel and fired in the open air, producing warm reddish tones, and the art of Cham pottery has been inscribed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. In Mỹ Nghiệp, brocade is woven entirely by hand on wooden looms by Cham women, with skills passed from mother to daughter.

Visitors enjoying water sports in Nha Trang

For families who want more action, the sea provides plenty. Visitors can go kayaking, snorkelling, jet skiing, parasailing and windsurfing, or join island-hopping cruises across Nha Trang Bay, where snorkelling over coral reefs is a highlight (the deeper waters around Hòn Mun are best explored with a guide). From October to April, gentle swells at Bãi Dài also suit beginner surfers, and visitors should always follow local safety advice. As the day winds down, a yacht cruise offers a breathtaking sunset over the sea, and some evening trips continue with squid fishing alongside local fishermen. Pack your bags, bring the whole family and let your journey to Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa begin at Cam Ranh International Terminal.
