Next day we joined a party boat tour for a day trip visiting four different islands and snorkelling. After sailing out of the harbour it was interesting to see the floating homes where fishermen live and work and watch them fishing and mending their nets, sometimes in traditional wooden boats. The first island had a small aquarium and the second island had a coral reef where were jumped into the water and did some snorkelling. There was some fish and coral to see but not particularly spectacular. Lunch was served on the boat - an amazing buffet with dozens of small dishes of local food. The boat crew then entertained us all with music, dancing and even a bit of karaoke which was great fun, especially once the beers and cocktails were flowing! We then did some more swimming off the boat before being dropped off on another island for an hour or so to enjoy the sunshine from a deckchair or walk along the beach.
Later the boat returned to pick us up and return us to the harbour and our hotel. We had time for a shower and supper before leaving Nha Trang late that evening for the next of our overnight trains, this time taking us to Danang from where we would travel the short distance to Hoi An.
