TL;DR
Vinpearl/VinWonders on Hòn Tre is not usually the go-to place for standard tourist fishing, so most visitors book a separate trip from Cầu Đá Port or hire a private boat. In Nha Trang, the easiest options are half-day sea fishing, night squid fishing, or a private boat with no island-hopping; expect roughly 600,000–1,500,000 VND per person in a group or from 2,500,000 VND for a private boat.
The most practical option in Nha Trang is a separate sea-fishing trip from Cầu Đá Port in the south of the city rather than going to Vinpearl. Most trips run 4–6 hours, usually include basic rods and bait, and group seats often start at around 600,000–1,200,000 VND per person.
If you want fishing only with no island-hopping, ask specifically for a private fishing boat or a half-day fishing-only trip. A private boat for 2–5 people typically costs about 2,500,000–4,500,000 VND, with simple fishing stops near Hòn Miễu or Hòn Tằm instead of beach visits.
If the main goal is the experience rather than a big catch, night squid fishing is a common option in Nha Trang. These trips usually leave in the evening from the harbor area, last 3–5 hours, and cost roughly 700,000–1,500,000 VND per person, often with a simple meal on board.
Vinpearl on Hòn Tre is mainly for the theme park, beach time, and resort stays; it is not usually treated as a standard standalone fishing spot. If fishing is your main goal, it is better not to rely on Vinpearl and instead arrange a boat trip from the city.
Another budget option is to arrange a simple trip with local boats in south Nha Trang or closer to Bãi Dài if you want basic fishing with minimal extras. This can be cheaper than a packaged tour, but rods, ice, drinking water, and English-speaking support are often not included.
