Traveling with family to an island can make transportation a big deal. For three people, the hotel's airport pickup cost $190, including the boat fare. Just the car ride alone was over $150. You drive to the pier first, then take a boat. If you know the pier, a taxi from the airport to the pier is only about 350,000 VND (around $10 USD). You can take a taxi to Orchid Island and Monkey Island Tourist Wharf. The first time, because we didn't know, we had to accept the hotel's arranged pickup.
The island environment is beautiful. There's an ice cream corner where you can get free ice cream from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
There are ping-pong tables, badminton, and a tennis court. You just need to book in advance to use them for free.
Bicycles are available for free use on the island.
There's a chicken farm where you can collect fresh eggs for breakfast starting at 7:00 AM.
Dinner at the restaurant is quite expensive, and the dishes are just average, so it's not great value for money, but there are no other options.
Boats return daily at 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 4:00 PM. Make sure to plan your time accordingly.
