TL;DR
Popular short trips from Nha Trang include Da Lat (easy solo or tour), Da Nang (best for 3 days, overnight bus or flight), Doc Let beach, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Vinpearl / VinWonders on Hon Tre Island can work as a 1–2 day trip from Nha Trang, but recent advice is to allow at least 2 days, or up to 3 if you want a more relaxed visit. Long queues make a single day feel rushed, especially with children, so it may be worth looking for tickets that include fast-track ride access.
Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City are both worth a 2-day side trip from Nha Trang — plenty to see in each.
Da Nang is worth at least 3 days. You can get there by overnight sleeper bus or by plane from Nha Trang.
Da Lat is a popular trip from Nha Trang — easy to do independently or via an organised tour.
Consider splitting your time: a couple of days in Nha Trang and a couple at Doc Let beach — a quieter, cleaner beach not far from the city.
