Flaws: There are a lot of tourists: there are always queues near the most interesting attractions. There is a queue for the funicular. The cost of a ticket increases every year.

Our reviews about Vinperl in Nha Trang
Useful advice:
If you want to have time to visit all the attractions, electric sleigh, water park, aquarium, show - come the day before opening. In reality, even in a full day it’s difficult to do everything, let alone if you come here for lunch.
Like real owls, we reached the station by 12.00. Well, we bought the ticket on the bus from the conductor. Otherwise, we would have to wait in a long line.
At the entrance to the funicular there is such a nice fountain.
Queue to the booths. 
People quickly hop on and go to Winpearl Island. The views of Vietnam from there are stunning. It is very interesting to see Nha Trang and the island of entertainment from above.
Photo in the funicular.

Winpearl from above. Watch a short video in which I tried to convey all the charm of the trip.
Amusement park
The first thing we liked was roller coaster. Everyone took a ride. They even let in 8 year old child. But the second time he did not go himself. It turned out to be too extreme for him.
Roller coaster video.
Another exciting attraction is Flight to the Sky. Not recommended for children under 140 cm. 
For the most courageous there is the Top Spin carousel. None of us dared to hang upside down.
The park area is very beautiful. Every meter is simply created for photo shoots. 
Beautiful castles. The cleanliness around is perfect. 
Since 2018 The Ferris wheel is working. Vinpearl Sky Wheel is now the largest wheel in Vietnam. Its height is 120 meters. Before this, the wheel in the city of Danang was considered the leader in height.
We decided to skip the zoo, as we had seen enough animals in Pattaya. Walking around the territory we met monkeys on the rocks and a rhinoceros.
Aquapark in Winperl
July turned out to be very hot (35-37 degrees), so we decided to go for water activities. But even with a map, I had to look for the water park.
And here is the entrance.
Going inside the water park we saw the Multi-slide. They quickly threw off their things, took the rugs and ran up. At the top we were met by an employee who showed us correct position for riding and gave the start command. In the end, we liked this slide the most. Everyone rode with pleasure many times.
The Kamikaze slide is more exciting. Sometimes the swimming trunks turned into thongs after skating). 
This is the Tsunami water slide. It’s only scary at the beginning, during the descent.
Children shorter than 140 cm are not allowed into the Toilet. The youngest just watched. And the eldest really liked it. 
Wide family slide. 4-8 people ride from it at once in one cheesecake.
On fresh air The appetite worked up in earnest. We decided to have some kebabs for 20,000 VDN/piece. The man was frying them near Yami Land.
And back to the fun. We decided to explore the lazy river. In fact, for children she turned out to be not at all lazy, but quite active. The children swam like in a regular pool, swam through the pressure of the water, and tried to swim against the current. We had fun. We didn’t even notice how we had come full circle.
Then we found swimming pools for small children. Our guys floundered a bit and wanted to return to more extreme entertainment.
The wave pool was a great experience for children and adults.
Water park video.
Beach in Winperl
Hungry, having ridden the hills to their heart's content, they went looking for food. Not far from the beach we found the Dolphin restaurant, where we ate dumplings for 80,000 VDN / portion. 
Well-fed and satisfied, we walked to the beach. Passing beautiful landscapes we stopped for photos).
Whenever I see such cacti in tourist places, they are signed. For what???
Towards evening we reached the beach where Rafting Bay was located. Really cool stuff. Obstacle course on the water. You take the vest and try to pass it. We hung out here until closing time. They jumped from one platform to another, fell into the water and laughed hard at their super abilities). This attraction closes at 18.00.
Rafting is a must. Get a lot of emotions. From the outside, this fun seems quite simple, but once you get there you feel all the drive.
I filmed a little rafting on video.
After the beach we headed to the changing cabins. We washed, changed clothes and went for a walk to the “For the Whole Family” square.
Family carousels and singing fountains
We took a helicopter ride. The faster you pedal, the higher you rise.
Cars are always interesting to boys. 
We barely managed to stay on the super-fast musical carousel. Children shorter than 140 cm are not allowed. 
And they couldn’t pass by the horses from the past. Although riding them turned out to be a bit boring.
Video of family carousels.
By 7 o'clock we ran to the singing fountain show. A beautiful sight. Do not miss. 
A fragment of the singing fountain show on video.
After the fountains, we remembered about the sleigh and went to the “Exciting Games” area. But we didn’t have time to ride. We reached them just in time for closing at 19.45.
We also didn’t have enough time for the slot machine area.
The amusement park, meanwhile, sparkled beautifully with evening lights. It was nice to just walk around the area.
Vietnamese singers performed on the square near the exit.
And there was a large crowd of people at the funicular. An announcement was heard throughout the park that they were ready to transfer everyone by speedboat in seven minutes, but most of the tourists wanted to see the evening views from above.
After standing in line, tired but happy, we rode back in the booths. Along the way, admiring the twinkling lights of the cable car and the island.
We got to the hotel using a meter for 60 thousand VDN. We got out near Gorky Park.
The holiday was a success. We will definitely come back here again in a couple of years. We'll try the sleigh, slot machines, Ferris wheel and repeat the rafting race.

Hello dear readers, I am glad to see you on my island (blog). Today I want to tell you about an unusual and exciting cable car attraction in Nha Trang. If you are comfortable with heights, then this is for you. As for me, the closer to the ground, the better. But my daughter can even walk along this cable car with a pole, she doesn’t care, she’s not afraid of heights.
Let's take a look at her history. The cable car was opened in 2007 and is recognized as the longest in the world above sea level, and its length is 3,300 meters at an altitude of as much as seventy meters. By the way, its 9 columns resemble the main highlight of Paris - the Eiffel Tower. All this is especially beautiful in evening time when everything is glowing. This landmark of Vietnam is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
Now I will tell you how to get there. The first thing I can suggest is, of course, a taxi. Don’t be shy about bargaining, it’s your money, personally, I’ll immediately take off 50%, and it’ll go from there. Well, about 50-130 thousand dong. With taxi drivers, as in the market, there are two fools, one sells, the other buys. In general, bargain, and you will be happy.
The next thing is, of course, local transport, the bus. This is the most a budget option, travel will cost you only 7,000 dong, about 8 rubles. You can get to the cable car by bus No. 4. There are stops at every beach throughout the city. There are no problems with this.
He starts his work early in the morning and until 6 pm. The fountain show starts in the park at 19.00, so you will have to walk back or take a taxi.
The most effective and free option would be to take a walk, at the same time you can get a good look at the atmosphere of the resort around you. Well, if it so happens that you are a fan of energy and adrenaline, then you can get to the cable car on a bike, if of course you know how to drive it, don’t forget to wear a helmet. There can be many options, all you have to do is choose what suits your liking and your wallet.
Schedule
And now we can talk about work and some nuances. The cable car starts operating from eight in the morning and ends at 9 o'clock in the evening (from Monday to Thursday), and from Friday to Sunday the cable car is open until 10 in the evening, so to speak, weekends. You need to plan a visit to the park for the whole day.
First of all, of course, you will take food with you, but don’t, it will be completely disqualified from you.
But there is a plus: for children, their baby food will definitely not be taken away, they don’t like it. Well, parents will be able to sit in a cafe, there are many of them, and the prices are the same as in the city center, so no one will go hungry. I advise you to arrive early (by 8-9 o’clock in the morning) so as not to crowd the ticket office later and it’s better to travel in a half-empty booth than in a crowded one.
I can’t help but note that the cabins do not have air conditioning, and the cabin itself is designed for 8 people, so don’t let the ninth one in, for your own safety. The one way journey takes about 15-20 minutes, you get maximum emotions and impressions that you will remember for a long time.
Personally, I would remember at such a height. Yes, by the way, you can get to the park by boat or ferry, well, this is me for those who are not friends with heights. Therefore, we put our “beloved” mother-in-law in a cabin at an altitude of 70 meters, and we ourselves calmly get there by ferry.
Ticket price
One ticket per adult costs 590,000 VND. A little cheaper for children. Prices may vary, but this is approximately the same. The price includes round-trip cable car travel (round trip) and all activities on the island.
These include:
- Oceanarium.
- Cinema.
- Fountain show.
- Water park and much more.
You can buy a more expensive ticket, then you can still eat. Or you can take a ticket just to ride the cable car, it will cost less.
Sunscreens, oils, sprays in a large assortment Here .
But before visiting the park, look at the sky for thunderclouds, because the park is closed when it rains. The cable car operates in any weather. It was built and designed by a Swiss company and said that the cable car will withstand even a force 8 storm. Good margin of safety.
The cable car in Nha Trang connects the city with Ho Tre Island, where the excellent five-star Vinpearl Resort Spa hotel is located. The cabins on the cable car are transparent, so set up your cameras and video cameras to forever capture the beautiful view of the sea, the island, and yourself, happy and smiling, or maybe not so much, because there are still 70 meters below you. Personally, I would hardly have an open smile of pleasure on my face.
It’s worth visiting, if only to brighten up your vacation with something interesting. Bye everyone, subscribe to my blog and choose your journey.
Enjoy your holiday everyone!
