Things to note when visiting tourist destinations in Phu Yen

When visiting Phu Yen and its scenic spots mentioned above, tourists should pay attention to some issues.

The right time

Phu Yen has two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season, typical of the central region. You should visit during the dry season to explore many places and avoid inconvenient storms. The rainy season usually lasts from September to December, while the rest of the year has its own unique beauty worth exploring.

Transportation and itinerary

You should arrange a convenient route to visit the tourist attractions in Phu Yen reasonably. For example, the Da Dia Reef and Yen Island are quite far apart (about 20km not counting the sea), so it is not advisable to schedule them on the same day.

The Da Dia Reef and Ganh Den Lighthouse are quite close to each other, so you should plan to visit them together in the morning. In the afternoon, travel about 25km to Thanh Luong Pagoda, and visit Nghinh Phong Tower about 9km from the pagoda. You should set aside a whole day to go to the island to explore Yen Island and Sun Island.

Prices range from 7k to 200k depending on the mode of transport, and you can refer to the vehicle rental service at nvktravel.com.

Prepare your belongings
