Vinpearl Land Nha Trang is the Vietnamese take on Disneyworld.
Located on the Hon Tre Island, the amusement park is one of the must-visit places of Nha Trang city.
It doesn’t matter if you are a solo traveler, travelling with your better halves or with your whole family, there is something for all ages at Vinpearl Land Nha Trang.
How to buy a Vinpearl Land Nha Trang ticket and how to get there
For foreign travelers, there are several ways for you to purchase your entrance ticket to Vinpearl Land Nha Trang.
You can even buy your tickets online ahead of your arrival in Vietnam on travel platforms such as Klook. If you are staying in Nha Trang city, take a Grab ride or taxi from your hotel to Vinpearl Land Cable Car station and from there you can claim your physical ticket.
Secondly, you can purchase your Vinpearl Land Nha Trang ticket at your hotel reception desk. Check with your hotel if they are selling the entrance tickets.
Lastly you can go straight to Vinpearl Cable Car station and purchase your ticket. However, this last option might cause you to wait for a long queue especially during peak season (June to August).
If you are staying on the island, check at your hotel for the entry tickets.
A basic entrance ticket is for the entire day and it gives access to almost all rides and attractions.
Here is a tip: if your time or budget is limited, make your way to the park in the evening. Although you cannot visit some of the attractions such as the water park at night, the ticket is way cheaper.
Additionally, you can purchase entry for lunch buffet at the amusement park along with your entrance ticket.
If lunch buffet is not for you, there are several other eateries at the park so bring extra money for that. Food and drink are not allowed to be brought into the park.
Vinpearl Cable Car
Getting to Vinpearl Land Nha Trang via the cable car is a memorable experience on its own.
The 15-minute ride (depending on wind condition) per trip is one of the longest over-water cable car rides in the world.
Carrying passengers in 48 cabins in an hour, the cable car connects Vinpearl Land and Nha Trang beach.
The best part of the ride is taking in the beauty of Nha Trang Bay, one of the most famous and popular bays in the world.
It uses seven towers to support the cable car system over the sea. At night, these cable towers turn into mini-Eiffel towers lining the bay.
If you have acrophobia, you can also take Vinpearl-owned ferry from Nha Trang Beach to the island.
With so many things to do at Vinpearl Land, here are at least five activities you should put on your itinerary:
1.Go on all the amusement rides
The amusement rides at Vinpearl Land cater to all kinds of thrill seekers.
Do you like the feeling of flying in the air? Then ride the Pirate Ship and Swing Carousel where you can have the taste of cruising in the air.
If getting dizzy is your thing, then give the Thrilling Ferris a try. It is perfect for those who do not mind being spun around high up in the air.
Free falling is definitely not for everyone. Imagine getting carried to the top of the tower with a height of over 20m. Before you take your moment to enjoy the ocean view, you are then suddenly dropped like nobody’s business. That is what you get when riding the Sky Drop.
For those who have the need for speed, go on the Roller Coaster, Giant Sky Chaser and Adventures in the Mines.
Of all the rides, we highly suggest taking the Alpine Coaster. There are 50 sleds provided for this ride.
However, since it is one of the more famous rides in the park, it can take up to one hour of queuing before your turn.
The largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, Alpine Coaster Vinpearl Land features a total length of 1,760 meters. The height difference between two stations is up to 133 meter so it is quite a steep ride in the beginning.
At first, the Alpine Coaster ride will take visitors from the downhill station to the top hill station (at 140 meters above sea level) using the straight line pull system. Throughout this 540 meters long journey, visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of Nha Trang Bay.
Once the sled has reached the top hill station, the adrenaline rush begins. This is when visitors will experience the thrills sliding down a 1,220 meter winding road.
Even when you are battling with your fear while riding the Alpine Coaster, watch out for two cameras along your way. Remember to smile at the cameras and purchase your photos at the end of your ride.
For parents, there is a number of rides perfectly catered for young children.
2.Splash away at the waterpark
After all the adrenaline rush, continue your thrilling adventure at Vinpearl Land’s water park.
At the Rafting Slide, there are four slides to choose from with different turns and curves, all towering at 12 meters high.
You can ride alone or a pair but make sure to go on all four of the slides. Each slide promises to bring you different experiences.
If you are coming in a group of four or six, there is Family Rafting Slide for you to enjoy together as a group.
Do not have enough people with you? This is the perfect time for you to make new friends and enjoy the ride together.
Vinpearl Land always has the young travelers in mind. There is a Kid’s Pool with colourful slides for them to enjoy.
If you are sick of the chlorinated water at the water park, then head to Vinpearl Splash Bay. This giant floating game is located right at the shoreline Vinpearl Land covering a total area of 4,200 square meters. It is equipped with slides, climbing cliff, balancing brides and giant balloons.
Make sure you wear your life jackets before you go on the float. But for safety, there are life guards always on standby.
3.Stroll through one of the most beautiful gardens
After all the fun and adventure, slow it down by strolling through the Rose Kingdom at The World Garden of Vinpearl Land.
There is a 5,000 square meter piece of land dedicated only for roses and you can just smell the fragrance of these flowers.
If roses are not your cup of tea, there are many other types of plants at The World Garden. Botany lovers will never get enough of this attraction.
4.Catch a glimpse of mermaids
Apparently, Vinpearl Land has the most modern aquarium system in Vietnam. Thus, a visit to the park would not be complete without visiting the aquarium.
The entire aquarium is a two-storey building block built in an artificial rock mountain. There are more than 300 marine species up for display.
The highlight of the aquarium is its ‘mermaid’ performances. At selected time of the day, ‘mermaids’ will swim around in front of live audience telling a story about the consequences of marine pollution.
5.Ride the Vinpearl Sky Wheel
Officially opened on Aug 30, 2017, the Vinpearl Sky Wheel is the country’s largest wheel in Vietnam.
At an impressive height of 120m, it is also recognised as one of Top 10 wheels in the world.
It can accommodate up to 480 passengers for every turn. What makes Vinpearl Sky Wheel is not just the humongous size, but also the view it offers. Overlooking the beautiful of Nha Trang Bay, the view from the wheel is simply breathtaking.
The best time is to plan when you want to ride the sky wheel. Let say that you want to catch the sunset from the ride, go early just in case there is a long queue waiting for you.
With so many things to do and so little time in a day, make sure you plan what you want to do.
Some of the ticketing officers at the counter do not speak English fluently so there might be some language barrier.
Nonetheless, make sure to grab an English information pamphlet at the counter. The pamphlets offer visitors information on activities, show times for performances as well as a map of the park. It is informative enough for you to plan your activities for a fun day out at Vinpearl Land Nha Trang.
