Hon Nua Island in Phu Yen is called "Sleeping Paradise" by tourist believers and is a wild, mysterious and extremely attractive destination for those who want to explore quiet beaches. The island looks like a small blue dinosaur resting between heaven and earth and the vast sea from above. Hon Nua has a peaceful and uncluttered beauty, creating conditions for visitors to relax at the beach.

Hon Nua has a charming beauty with long white sand beaches, blue sea and colorful coral reefs. Located in the area between the boundary of Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa, at the foot of Ca Pass, this island still retains its wild beauty like the wild days when it has not been affected much by humans.

When crossing Ca pass, looking at the Gulf of Tonkin from above, Hon Nua appears like a giant blue dinosaur, standing in front of the sea and facing the vast ocean. Hon Nua has rich nature with white sand banks and high cliffs reaching the sky surrounding the island. Very few people live in Hon Nua, sometimes even only seeing people at a military defense information station of the bird's nest enterprise and the Lighthouse on the island.

When stepping on the rapids, you will be fascinated by the beautiful natural scenery with sharp cliffs facing the East Sea. The rocky outcrops that rise like the prow of a boat out to sea are a great check-in point and an ideal photo spot for professional photographers. On the rock, there are also "giant footprints" that make visitors feel like they are entering a mysterious fairy world, immediately reminiscent of the legend of Saint Giong with big feet.

Swimming and snorkeling activities are the first things to be noticed when traveling to Hon Nua. You can combine these two activities to save time; in just 1 hour, you can catch more than a dozen urchins to make night porridge.

You will spend a special night feeling like Robinson in the middle of a deserted island, enjoying the quiet space and listening to the sound of the sea waves mixed with the crackling fire. This is an opportunity for a group of friends to get closer and love each other more. Sleeping on the beach, smelling the sea and watching the sunrise will be memorable experiences.
