Where is the jetty for Six Senses Ninh Van Bay?
The resort has a lounge and a jetty on the Nha Trang side of the bay, and guests meet the boat there. The resort says the drive from the airport to the lounge is about 60 minutes, then the speedboat takes 20. We recommend asking the resort for the pin and the boat time, because both can change with the tide and the weather. Our driver will have the same details.
What does the car do and what does the boat do?
The car is ours: a fixed price per car from Cam Ranh to the jetty, with a driver at arrivals. The boat is the resort’s. Booking the two separately means a couple pays the car once and the boat per person, and a family of five does not pay five car fares. The resort’s own package, a private car plus shared boat, is USD 139 per person per way (undated).
What about the luggage?
Luggage goes from the car to the boat at the jetty, and the resort’s team handles it. Pack for a boat: soft bags are easier than hard cases. If the sea is rough the crossing is slower, and the resort decides whether the boat goes.
Can we arrive late or leave early?
Check the last boat and the first boat with the resort before you book flights. A morning flight out of CXR means leaving the bay early, and an international departure needs a very early boat. The safe plan for either is a night in Nha Trang on the arrival side.
Is it worth the trip for the bay?
The bay is a calm one with a golden beach and mountains behind it, according to guests’ accounts, and the villas are scattered along the shore. It is a remote stay, so you will not drive anywhere for dinner. For the rest of the coast, the Nha Trang page covers the city, and the Da Lat to Nha Trang route is the usual next leg for a tour with the highlands.
