VinWonders Nha Trang: water park, aquarium and rides on the island
Nha Trang is known for its beaches, but the main family destination sits on an island. VinWonders Nha Trang occupies almost the entire territory of Hon Tre Island next to the city. Inside you will find a water park, an aquarium, an amusement park, a mini zoo, and an evening fountain show. One ticket gets you into all the zones in sequence, and you barely leave the park grounds. You can spend a whole day here, and the memories last much longer. Below we have put together the practical details: opening hours, tickets, main attractions, and how to get to the island.

Where VinWonders Nha Trang is located
💡 In short:
- One ticket covers the water park, aquarium, rides, and mini zoo.
- A speedboat and a cable car over the sea take you to the island.
- Opening hours and admission: 09/2026, verified on the official website.
Hon Tre Island (Hòn Tre) lies in Nha Trang Bay across from the city waterfront. From the mainland you can clearly see the Ferris wheel, the white hotel buildings, and the green palm trees. The grounds are large, but the zones are arranged in a loop, so you can comfortably cover them all in a day.
The island is connected to the city by a 3,320 m cable car, one of the longest over the sea (according to Wikipedia). The cabins travel over the water for about 15 minutes, with views of the bay opening up below. The second option is a speedboat from Vinpearl Harbour pier. The cable car is sometimes suspended due to wind, so check the status on the official website.
The view from above looks like a bright postcard: blue pools, palm umbrellas, beach shades, and colorful rides.

Today, thrilling rides, pools, and hotels stand in its place. In scale, the VinWonders resort is compared to major parks in Asia, but a trip here remains a relaxed family outing.
Attractions in the park
The zones cater to different interests, so neither kids nor adults will be bored. Below are the four main highlights: the water park, the aquarium, the amusement park, and the mini zoo. In the evening, the park gathers guests for a musical fountain show: jets of water change color to traditional music. It is a beautiful end to the day.
Water park
The water park is home to the main share of the park's attractions. There are dozens of slides, so both kids and adults can ride. Toddlers have separate safe pools with shallow water, and for a relaxed swim there is a lazy river: you float along it on an inflatable ring with the whole family. The most intense slide is called Black Hole: you race through a closed tube in complete darkness and shoot out into an open pool. The adrenaline lasts all day.

Everything around is impeccably maintained and full of greenery. Lawns, flower planters, and playful animal figures line the paths, so walking here is pleasant even away from the slides.
The entrance is designed as an attraction in its own right. A fountain stands by the ticket booths: jets of water shoot from the trunks of four elephants, and a lion sits on a pedestal above. It is the best spot for your first photo in the park. Arrive at opening time: in the morning the lines for the slides are noticeably shorter.
Aquarium
The aquarium occupies a separate pavilion next to the water park. Inside live hundreds of fish and marine animals, and the corals come in whimsical shapes and bright colors. The main highlight is a circular aquarium with a panoramic view. Fish surround you on both sides and above behind glass panels. The greenish-blue lighting creates a fairytale backdrop and a feeling of being underwater. At certain times, live mermaids perform, played by female swimmers. The show schedule is available at the entrance.

The amusement park is designed for different ages. The most extreme ride spins the cabins in a circle, and at the top you end up upside down. Besides that, there is a roller coaster with sharp turns, carousels shaped like animal figures, and a bumper car track with little car faces. Kids love the boat carousel styled after old Vietnamese boats. Even the trash bins here are shaped like penguins with open beaks.

Mini zoo
Kids love the mini zoo. It showcases exotic animals, and you can also ride an elephant and ostriches.

The trip takes about 15 minutes. Check the cable car status on the official website before your visit.
What should I bring to the water park?
