Ganh Nhay – Ninh Van is one of the most pristine destinations near Nha Trang, but because it lies in a secluded bay, many people aren't sure how to get there conveniently. Below is a complete guide to how to get there, ticket prices and a 1-day itinerary at Ganh Nhay.
How to get to Ganh Nhay from Nha Trang
There are two popular ways to reach Ganh Nhay:
1. By road (motorbike / car)
From Nha Trang, head north along National Highway 1A for about 60km. At the junction near the Ninh Hoa area, turn onto National Highway 26B, then follow road DT625D (use Google Maps for directions). You will pass the Jungle Beach & Wild Beach Resort and continue straight to Ninh Van commune. Just past the village gate, turn right onto the concrete road and you will reach the Ganh Nhay area.
The road route is scenic and great for adventure riders who want to save money, but there are some hilly, winding stretches that require confident driving.
2. By high-speed speedboat
A faster and easier option is to take a high-speed speedboat from Nha Trang, with an average travel time of only about 20 minutes. The fare per leg is roughly 200.000 – 300.000₫ (for reference). This is also the option that all-inclusive tours usually use.
