Located more than 20 km southeast of Quy Nhon city center, Ky Co island stands out with its wild beauty, white sand beaches and steep cliffs. This is an ideal destination for those who love to travel by motorbike.

The rocks with many different shapes and sizes stretch endlessly, along with the steep cliffs jutting straight out to the sea, creating a majestic and poetic scene.
The highlight that cannot be missed is the natural swimming pools between the rocks. When the tide rises, water rushes between the rocks, creating clear, cool pools with a clear bottom. Each pool can accommodate 5-7 people, very suitable for family trips and safe for children.

Not only famous for its green hills like in the movie "I see yellow flowers on green grass", Phu Yen also owns Hon Nua, a precious gem in the heart of nature. Hon Nua is famous for its long white sand banks and crystal clear water. When you set foot here, you will be immersed in a peaceful scene, where the pure white sand banks curve next to the clear blue water that reflects the bottom. The gradually higher rocky cliffs connect to the sand banks, creating a beautiful natural picture.
When climbing these rapids, you will discover something interesting: a beautiful freshwater lake located between majestic cliffs. This is the unique highlight of Hon Nua, where you can relax and enjoy the wild beauty of nature.
Hon Nua is also known for its “giant footprints”, natural rock formations shaped by millions of years of waves. These rocks, after a long period of erosion, have formed giant feet scattered everywhere, making visitors feel like they are lost in a world of giants.
In addition, nature has generously bestowed Hon Nua with a colorful coral world, attracting scuba diving enthusiasts. With its wild beauty and the wonders that await, Hon Nua is definitely a destination not to be missed for those who love to explore and experience.
As the name suggests, Robinson Island offers a feeling of complete isolation from the outside world. When you set foot on this island, you will feel like you are lost on a deserted island, surrounded by the sea, pine forests, cliffs and mountains, creating a quiet and peaceful space. Here, you can slowly enjoy the wonderful beauty of nature, especially the beautiful sunrise and sunset moments.
In the early morning, the clear, blue sea water, along with the stretch of fine white sand stretching from one end of the island to the other, makes Robinson an ideal place to catch the first rays of the day. When the afternoon falls, you can bring some food to the pier, turn on some soft music and watch the sun slowly set into the sea, while the "stars" twinkle from the fishing boats of fishermen coming ashore when the lights come on. These are truly peaceful, quiet and beautiful moments that you can hardly find in crowded, bustling places.
Although called a "desert island", Robinson still offers you many interesting activities to participate in. You can dive to explore the underwater world and enjoy fresh seafood right on the floating houses in the middle of the sea.

Just request, the fishermen around the island will be ready to catch and serve right on the spot at a very reasonable price.
In addition, you can enjoy seafood dishes such as clams, oysters, snails, and mussels without worrying about shortages. In particular, seafood banh can is one of the famous dishes on the island. In the morning, just a plate of hot mixed seafood banh can is enough to recharge your energy for an exciting day of discovery.

Known as one of the most beautiful small islands in the region, Hon Mong Tay attracts tourists with its pristine beauty and tranquility.
