TL;DR
You can reach Hon Mun independently or via a day tour. Rent snorkeling gear at the port before departure — on-island availability is limited.
For snorkeling at Hon Mun, take an organized tour: it is not accessible independently, and there are no suitable spots for self-guided snorkeling. Hon Tam and Hon Mieu can be visited on your own, but Hon Mun requires a tour boat.
Jet ski rentals are available both in Nha Trang city and on Vinpearl island itself — check with the resort reception first. Hon Tam is another option but requires extra travel time, which may not be worth it with only a couple of days left.
For first-time visitors to Nha Trang: buy a local SIM card at the airport (Viettel or Vietnamobile) — roaming is expensive. Airport transfers arranged by tour operators via SMS are generally reliable; confirm the driver's name and car plate in advance.
To reach Hon Mun independently, hire a boat from Cau Da port in Nha Trang. Rent snorkeling gear at the port before you leave — on the island itself, equipment rental is scarce or unavailable.
