Nha Trang Shore Excursion to Long Son Pagoda and Po Nagar

  • Pick up at Cau Da Port (Nha Trang Port, about 15 minutes from the city) at 09:00 AM.
  • It takes around 30 minutes from Cau Da Port to the city centre for a shopping tour.
  • After meeting your guide, drive from Cau Da Port to visit Long Son Pagoda. Inaugurated in 1889, the pagoda takes its name from Long Son Tu, meaning "the Pagoda on the Dragon's Hill". The entrance and curved roofs are embellished with impressive decorations featuring mosaic dragons made from glass and ceramic tiles.
  • Don't forget to pass by the Cathedral, also known as the Stone Church, built during the French colonial period.
  • Continue to the Po Nagar Cham Towers, also known as Thap Ba, or the Lady of the City, a remnant of the ancient Cham civilization built in the 8th century. The temple is located on Mount Cu Lao, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. This unique structure is a symbol of Hindu Champa culture. The tower was named in honour of a princess who introduced her people to weaving and wet rice cultivation. Today, the tower remains a place of worship for many.
  • Next, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.
  • Visit the Aquarium Museum before returning to Cau Da Port to continue your cruise. The trip ends at 16:30.
