Overview

VinWonders sits on Hon Tre, the largest island in Nha Trang bay, about 5 km from the city centre. Getting there is more famous than the park itself: a 3,320 m cable car across open water, once recorded as the world's longest, taking about ten minutes directly over the bay.

Inside there's a water park, rides, an aquarium and show arenas. Tickets are normally sold as a package that already includes the cable car, so there's nothing extra to buy. It's the right call if you're travelling with kids, or need a day that doesn't depend on sea conditions.

One thing to be plain about on price: the rate shifts with the season, with the sales channel and with whether the cable car is included, and the online resellers quote different figures. The range on this page is what has been seen, not a published rate — check the official site before you go, and confirm the cable car is included.

VinWonders's real value is that it barely depends on the sea. On a rough day when every island tour is cancelled, this and the Oceanographic Institute are the two places that still fill a day. Come on a weekday and arrive by nine: it is large, and a late start means not reaching what you paid for. The 3,320 m cable car takes about ten minutes each way — count it into the schedule.

Don't miss

  • The 3,320 m over-sea cable car — the ride alone justifies the ticket
  • A water park with multi-level slides
  • An aquarium and indoor rides — rain-proof
  • A private beach on the island

Practical tips

  • Tickets usually include the round-trip cable car — read the fine print before buying extras
  • Bring swimwear and a towel if you plan on the water park
  • Weekends and holidays get busy — the cable car queue can hit 30–45 minutes
  • A speedboat is an alternative to the cable car, taking 7–10 minutes

How long does VinWonders take?

Budget a full day and start around 9:00. On weekends and holidays the cable car queue can reach 30–45 minutes.
