Nha Trang Tourist Port (and the old Cau Da pier)
Quick answer
Nha Trang Tourist Port at 388 Vo Thi Sau, Vinh Truong (now part of Nam Nha Trang ward) opened on 16 May 2020 near Vinh Truong fishing port and replaced the old Cau Da pier as the departure point for bay and island tours; by 2025 Cau Da was no longer operating as the tourist wharf. The new port covers over 15,000 sqm with a 400 m by 150 m dock, three waiting halls and a stated capacity of 10,000-12,000 visitors a day. Speedboats and canoes for the 3- and 4-island tours, Hon Mun, Hon Tam and Hon Mot all leave from here; boats for Monkey Island leave separately from Long Phu port to the north, and the Hon Tre cable car and Vinpearl speedboats from Vinpearl Harbour.

Tips
- Do not go looking for Cau Da port - it no longer runs the tourist boats; the wharf is at 388 Vo Thi Sau
- Book through an agent or your hotel rather than at the gate; walk-up pricing at the port is the worst you will be offered
- Check what the quoted price includes - island entrance fees, lunch and snorkel gear are often separate line items added at the pier
- Boats are cancelled outright in rough weather from about October to December; ask about the refund rule before you pay
