Overview
A 45-minute boat ride out, Hon Mun anchors Vietnam's first marine protected area — its coral gardens and reef-fish density the best in the country. Day boats combine snorkeling stops, basket-boat rides and onboard seafood lunches; dive shops run try-dives and fun dives for all levels. Coral health varies by season and site, so a good operator matters.
