You travel to the beach town of Nha Trang, where you relax ane enjoy a full-day cruise around the beautiful islands, with plenty of time to snorkel and swim in clear warm waters. The accomodation is basic, but the hilltribes are highly hospitable people. Far from the major highways and home to many minority villages, this is a marvellously tranquil region for cycling. You finally rejoin the coast at Qui Nhon.
Today is a long day.
