Detailed Itinerary: Mui Dien – Ganh Da Dia

06:00: Pick up at Nha Trang city center

A modern tourist vehicle and a professional Sea You Travel guide will pick you up at your hotel or designated meeting point in the city center. From here, the group follows a beautiful coastal route toward Phu Yen, beginning the Nha Trang – Phu Yen 1-day tour: Mui Dien – Ganh Da Dia. This journey takes you to signature landmarks of Phu Yen – from the majestic sunrise at Mui Dien and the incredible rock formations of Ganh Da Dia to the cultural and historical highlights of the South Central Coast region.

08:00: Visit Mui Dien – Phu Yen

Mui Dien (Mui Dai Lanh) is known as one of the earliest sunrise spots on mainland Vietnam, famous for its pristine natural scenery. The lighthouse here was built in 1890, rising over 110 meters above sea level, offering an ideal viewpoint for panoramic ocean vistas.

At the foot of the mountain lies Bai Mon Beach, with white sand and crystal-clear water—perfect for swimming. Visitors can climb 110 steps up to the lighthouse to enjoy the refreshing air and spectacular mountain-to-sea scenery.

11:00: Visit Mang Lang Church

Mang Lang Church, located in An Thach Commune (Tuy An District), was built in 1892 by priest Joseph de La Cassagne. It is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Vietnam, featuring classical Gothic architecture and a distinctive muted color tone. Besides being a place of worship, the church is also connected with the local cultural and educational history. Notably, it houses “Phép giảng tám ngày” (The Eight-Day Sermon), the first catechism book written in Vietnamese romanized script, holding significant historical value.

12:00: Lunch at a local restaurant

Guests will enjoy a delicious seafood lunch featuring Phu Yen’s specialties, freshly prepared in local style. The restaurant’s cool and friendly atmosphere offers a comfortable break before the afternoon visits continue.

13:30: Visit Ganh Da Dia – Phu Yen

Ganh Da Dia is a rare natural wonder, featuring thousands of basalt hexagonal and pentagonal columns neatly stacked in layers—formed millions of years ago from volcanic activity. Located in An Ninh Dong Commune (Tuy An), this special national monument showcases dramatic coastal cliffs, untouched beaches, and cultural significance deeply rooted in the life of Phu Yen’s fishing communities.

14:30: Visit Nghinh Phong Square

Nghinh Phong Square is Phu Yen’s modern landmark, located along the Tuy Hoa coastline. Inspired by Ganh Da Dia and the legend of “One Hundred Eggs,” its highlight is the twin Nghinh Phong Towers—two towering stone-like structures that create natural musical tones as the sea breeze passes through. At night, the square becomes vibrant with colorful lighting, making it a must-visit check-in and seaside walkway.

15:30: End of the tour – Return to Nha Trang

The Sea You Travel vehicle and guide will take you back to Nha Trang city center.
