Nha Trang, with a part of the city located along the 20km long coastline and extremely attractive beaches on the islands being exploited offshore, is a paradise for tourists to explore sea games. Whether adventurous or romantic, the games always give visitors a feeling of relaxation, enjoying the wonderful feeling before the charming beauty of the Club members of the most beautiful bays in the world.
The first exciting game is parachute. For those who like thrills, this game allows them to see a vast ocean while floating on a parachute pulled by a speedboat. Usually, each parachute ride lasts 15 minutes for one lap of the speedboat. The tour guide will instruct the guests to wear a belt buckle and add a life jacket for safety. Feet are relaxed on the ground, the speedboat will pull the parachute up high, thanks to the wind the parachute will open, pulling you to float in the air. During the 2010 Miss World contest held in Nha Trang, many beauty contestants were extremely excited to participate in this parachute game when they came to picnic at Doc Let beach.
Even though you are flying in the sky at an altitude of 70-100 meters, you should rest assured because there is always a protective canoe following you below. When you parachute down, if you fall into the sea, the lifebuoy you are wearing will make you float on the water, then the canoe will pull you onto the boat. The feeling of being high up looking at the tiny Nha Trang sea, while the parachute still sways with the wind is a feeling of conquest. Just one time of parachute pulling is almost addictive to the feeling of flying high!
Another game that stimulates adventure in Nha Trang sea is the jet ski game. This game can be played by two people or one person with a jet ski controlled by a throttle made of composite plastic that allows you to control it gently. But for those who are not fond of speed, it is difficult to play this speed surfing game. If you want to play a jet ski, you only pay for 30 minutes or 1 hour of rental, and the tour guide will guide you on how to control the throttle and how to drive. When you want the motorbike to stop, just release the throttle and it is safe. Surfing the Nha Trang sea on a jet ski can be said to be an extremely enjoyable feeling. Any tourist destination in Nha Trang has jet skis ready to serve the needs of customers.
Less popular and must be practiced before playing is the surfing game. In this game, with only a board as a "toy", guests can freely surf right on top of the wave. Surfing on the wave with flexible control will help you not to fall. In terms of surfing technique, it will be much more difficult if you do not control the board to keep up with the wave, the wave can flip the board upside down. A simpler way is to rent a kayak together, use the paddle, and paddle leisurely on the ocean. Small kayaks have two people, while large ones can row up to 10 people.
Currently, around Nha Trang, there are many places for scuba diving services. This is also a game on the sea that is thrilling and impressive.

To dive, even if you have not taken a diving class, visitors will be instructed by a tour guide for 15 minutes, then wear a diving tank, flippers and a string of lead to sink into the water. After wearing a diving tank, from the boat at the diving spot, you jump into the sea, the tour guide will swim with you when diving under the sea to prevent unexpected events. Scuba diving is also a sport that is loved by many people because it gives a new look at the amazing world of creatures in the ocean.

And at the southern islands such as Hon Mot and Tri Nguyen, the basket boat model is very popular with tourists.
