Resort island via the 3.3km Vinpearl cable car — theme park, water park, all-inclusive resorts.
Hon Tre is the large offshore island opposite Nha Trang Bay, dominated by Vingroup's Vinpearl complex — multiple all-inclusive resorts, a theme park (VinWonders), a water park, an aquarium and an 18-hole golf course. The 3.3km Vinpearl Cable Car is the iconic crossing (Asia's second-longest over-sea cable car), though most guests now take the speedboat shuttle.
