Vinpearl: the complete guide to VinWonders & Safari 2026

Vinpearl is not one park but a chain of theme parks and a safari zoo scattered across Vietnam. A 3,320-metre cable car over the sea, a 120-metre Ferris wheel, an aquarium shaped like a giant turtle — that is all VinWonders.

There has never been a single clear guide covering every park in English. Here it is in one place: 2026 prices in USD, the Nha Trang, Phu Quoc and Hoi An parks side by side, tips from the ground and an honest breakdown of what is worth it.

Map and every Vinpearl park in Vietnam

This guide covers three resort VinWonders parks and the safari zoo; the chain also runs water parks and parks in the north (per vinwonders.com, September 2026). They used to be called Vinpearl Land. On top of that, a free zone called Vinpearl Harbour opened on Hòn Tre island in January 2024.

The first thing worth seeing is how far apart they are. Phu Quoc and Hoi An are nearly 800 km apart as the crow flies, so two parks in one trip is a stretch — you pick. Green dots are theme parks, the amber one is the safari. The two Phu Quoc parks sit 4 km from each other, which is the one pair you can genuinely do back to back. Tap a dot for the city, the size and the main draw. Vinpearl Harbour is not on the map: it opened in 2024 and hasn't reached OpenStreetMap yet.

Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc

VinWonders Nam Hoi An

The best value is the VinWonders + Safari combo on Phu Quoc at 1,350,000 VND (~$52). Two parks in one day, saving around 450,000 VND (~$17) over buying the tickets separately.

VinWonders Nha Trang — rides and zones

VinWonders Nha Trang sits on Hòn Tre island — you can only reach it by the 3,320 m cable car or by boat. It used to be called Vinpearl Land and covers about 50 hectares.

The cable car is 3,320 metres over open sea, the second longest in Vietnam after Hon Thom on Phu Quoc. Cabins hold eight, and the ride takes 12–20 minutes. It is already in your park ticket, but you can buy it alone for 212,000 VND (~$8) return.

The Ferris wheel is 120 metres. From the top you get a full panorama of Nha Trang bay.

The park's zones:

• Fairy Land — the Tata Show, a zipline (the longest in Vietnam) and the Alpine Coaster (electric sled down the hillside)
• Adventure Land — 8 thrill rides: Mine Adventure, Topspin, catapults
• Water World — a freshwater water park: slides, a wave pool, a lazy river
• Aquarium — 300+ marine species and a 360° glass tunnel: sharks, rays, sea turtles
• Zoo and bird park — capybaras (scheduled feeding), parrots, flamingos
• World Garden — a landscaped park with plants from five continents
• Japanese garden — koi ponds and wooden bridges

For a room-by-room walkthrough of the island, see our guide to Nha Trang, where the park is one of the headline attractions.

VinWonders Phu Quoc — rides and zones

VinWonders Phu Quoc is, according to the operator, the biggest theme park in Vietnam: 200+ rides, 6 zones, ~50 hectares. It sits in Phu Quoc United Center on the northwest of the island (the Bãi Dài area). It opened in 2014 and is still being expanded.

The six zones:

1. European Street — mock-European architecture, fountains, shops and restaurants. A good spot for photos.
2. Fantasy World — kids' rides, carousels, mini-slides. The place to bring toddlers.
3. Viking Village — a themed Viking village with interactive quests.
4. The Seashell (aquarium) — a building shaped like a giant turtle with thousands of marine creatures. The Colors of the Ocean show runs daily at 2pm and 3:30pm.
5. Adventure World — roller coasters and thrill rides for grown-ups.
6. Typhoon World (water park) — water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river.

The evening Once Show starts at 6:45pm and runs 20 minutes. Stick around for it — it genuinely impresses, especially after dark.

If you are heading to Phu Quoc, budget at least half a day for VinWonders. With the Safari combo, block out the whole day. Sun World, Grand World and the rest of the island's attractions are in our guide to things to do in Phu Quoc.

Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc — an open-air zoo

Vinpearl Safari is 380 hectares, more than 4,000 animals, 200+ species — the largest safari park in Vietnam, according to VinWonders. It sits next to VinWonders Phu Quoc, with a free VinBus shuttling between them.

Two main zones:

Open Zoo — the walking part. Square-lipped rhinos, white lions, lemurs, orangutans, flamingos, pelicans, crocodiles. Separate areas for primates, birds and reptiles. Allow 2–3 hours to walk it. For more animal encounters on the island, see our Phu Quoc Safari guide.

Safari Park — the bus part. You board a bus with panoramic windows and roll past tigers, zebras, giraffes and antelopes roaming right outside the glass. It really does feel like Africa, only in the middle of the tropics.

The thing everyone comes for is the giraffe feeding. You stand on a platform at giraffe-head height and it takes the food straight from your hand. Feed is sold on the spot.

A practical thing to know is that food can sell out before noon on busy days, especially during peak season. It is also common that feeding needs to be paid separately, often in cash, so it is a good idea to bring some with you if this is something you don't want to miss.Marnick Schoonderwoerd, Local Vietnam, 2026

The animal shows run twice a day: 10:00–10:30 and 14:00–14:30. Come in the morning — the animals are livelier, and by midday the heat drives them into the shade.

VinWonders Nam Hoi An

VinWonders Nam Hoi An is the park hardly anyone knows about. 62.4 hectares, 5 zones and one card the others do not have: an island of Vietnamese folk culture. It sits 17 km from Hoi An and 55 km from Da Nang.

The zones:

• Harbor Corner — a waterfront of restaurants and shops, a spot for a slower pace
• Island of Folk Culture — recreated Vietnamese villages, craft workshops, live performances. No other VinWonders has this — here you can actually touch Vietnamese culture
• River Safari — a boat ride past animals and tropical thickets
• Adventure Land — roller coasters and rides for speed lovers
• Water World — a water park

Tickets are 650,000 VND (~$25), the cheapest of any VinWonders. The evening ticket (after 2pm) is cheaper still — 450,000 VND (~$17). If you are already in Da Nang or Hoi An, block out half a day.

Vinpearl Harbour — a free zone on Hòn Tre island

Vinpearl Harbour opened in January 2024 on Hòn Tre island in Nha Trang. Entry is free, but you can only reach it by cable car (212,000 VND / ~$8 return) or from the island's hotels.

It has three zones: Monaco (a European waterfront of boutiques), Fonville (a food court and restaurants) and Indochine (Indochina-colonial styling with bars). This is not a ride park but a shopping-and-dining zone: shops, restaurants, street performances. It is not for serious shopping, but souvenirs and gifts are easy. A good add-on to a VinWonders Nha Trang visit — you can fit both in one day.

How to get to Vinpearl

Every VinWonders and the Vinpearl Safari is easy to reach — by taxi, Grab or a VinBus.

VinWonders Nha Trang (Hòn Tre island)

Two options:

1. Cable car — 3,320 m over the sea, 12–20 minutes. Included in the ticket. The station is in the south of Nha Trang, 15–20 minutes by taxi from the centre (~120,000 VND / ~$5), or about an hour from Doc Let.
2. Speedboat — from the Nha Trang pier every 30 minutes, 15–20 minutes across. Also included in the ticket.

In a storm the cable car stops and guests are ferried by boat instead, so expect delays. Pay taxis in cash (VND) — not every driver takes cards, though Grab handles this in-app.

VinWonders Phu Quoc and the Safari

Both parks are on the northwest of the island, in the Phu Quoc United Center (the Bãi Dài area). From Dương Đông town it is about 30 minutes by taxi or Grab, 150,000–200,000 VND (~$6–8). The free VinBus runs from Grand World.

VinWonders Nam Hoi An

17 km from central Hoi An — about 25 minutes by taxi. 55 km from Da Nang — about an hour by taxi. Grab works in both cities.

Opening hours and show times

Show schedule

For the Phu Quoc evening show, arrive 15–20 minutes early — the good spots fill fast.

Nha Trang or Phu Quoc — which Vinpearl to pick

Which one you pick — Nha Trang or Phu Quoc — comes down to your group and what you want. Short version: Phu Quoc is bigger and newer, Nha Trang is more compact but has the cable car over the sea and that island feel.

Families with kids — Phu Quoc. Safari + the Fantasy World kids' zone + the aquarium with its daily show. Enough to fill two full days.

Couples and photo lovers — Nha Trang. The cable car over the sea, the Ferris wheel at sunset, the Japanese garden and Vinpearl Harbour for dinner.

Budget option — Hoi An. The ticket is 300,000 VND cheaper, the evening one just 450,000 VND. Bonus: the folk-culture island you will not find anywhere else.

Thrill-seekers — Nha Trang. The zipline, the Alpine Coaster (electric sled) and Adventure Land's 8 rides.

Practical tips — how to do a day at Vinpearl

One day at VinWonders is doable, but you will have to choose. You cannot cover every ride, show and the water park in a single visit. Here is what helps.

Arrive at opening. At 8:30am (Nha Trang) or 9am (Phu Quoc) the crowds are thin. The first two hours are the sweet spot: no queues, no midday heat yet. Start with the thrill coasters — by lunch they are packed.

One day or two? If you are on Phu Quoc and take the VinWonders + Safari combo, buy the 2-day version. One day for VinWonders, one for the Safari. Cramming both into a single day turns into a route march. For VinWonders Nha Trang, one full day is enough.

What to bring. Swimwear and a towel (water park), sunscreen, comfy shoes, water. An umbrella or poncho — rain can start any time. Book tickets in advance on Klook to skip the ticket-office queue.

Food inside the park. Food courts and restaurants are everywhere. Expect 150,000–250,000 VND (~$6–10) per person. Adding a buffet to your ticket is 30–50% cheaper. Bringing your own food is formally not allowed, but water and snacks usually get through.

Beating the queues. Weekdays beat weekends. January–February and July–August are peak, with 30–40 minute coaster lines. March–April and September–October are far quieter.
