Hon Heo Peninsula: The Peaceful Peninsula

If you’re looking for a peaceful place but also bursting with the hum and buzz of the local wildlife, the Hon Heo Peninsula is your perfect getaway.
Overlooking the famous Ninh Van Bay, Hon Heo Peninsula has many bungalows covered with palm leaves placed strategically along the beach. Rocks, hills and vegetation add more natural beauty and attraction to the place. The beach itself is quiet and private, so guests who want peace and relaxation can have all the time they want. And for even more quiet, privacy and relaxation, hotels , or villas, in the place offer therapeutic spa treatments Vietnamese style.
A Vietnamese-style tree house can be found in the rain forest serving wine, 250 kinds to be exact and of the best quality. A one-of-a-kind idea and experience, the tree house has a platform where guests can sit and choose from the wine collection. For tourists who are hungry for adventure and excitement, the tree house can also be reached by a rope bridge from the next door library which is also another tree house.
Mangrove forests, sand dunes, streams and waterfalls are just some of the sights tourists will marvel at as they trek along the area. Ka Lam is a particular place with an extraordinary waterfall. Just 10 minutes away by boat, the place is also serene. All you can hear is the hum of the birds and the splash of the surf. It takes a 200-meter trail filled with obstacles though in order to reach the waterfall. But as it falls into a giant pool at the bottom, the tedious trip is all worth it. Hiking has become a favorite and famous tourist activity in the peninsula that a hiking trail is being proposed to be established covering an area of 65 hectares.
Tourists from all over the world come to visit Hon Heo Peninsula. In particular, Germans, Australians and Russians comprise the biggest number of visitors to the area. Vietnamese tourists compose about 40 percent of the total number of visitors. Because of the large number of tourists who continually visit the peninsula, some hotel owners have opened cooking schools so that tourists will have even more activities to enjoy, that is, learning how to cook Japanese or European cuisine. These hotels even grow their own vegetables and have their own gardens in the hotels themselves.
Hon Heo Peninsula is a heaven with its natural beauty all around. But apart from the spectacular landscapes and colorful wildlife, the service and hospitality of the local residents are so warm and sincere that it’s what most, if not all, tourists remember and want to come back to most. While life at the peninsula may be a little backward compared to the city, tourists continue to return to Hoe Hen Peninsula because of its natural beauty and human warmth that no city convenience can ever compare to.
