After nearly 2 hours on the sea, the boat arrives Bich Dam - the most remote island of Nha Trang, located in the island of Hon Tre. Bich Dam is a peaceful fishing village located in the middle of the water year-round blue as turquoise.




From Bich Dam, we follow a small trail, to the top of the island - where the lighthouse Hon Lon. The road is quite far (about 4 km) plus hot sunshine cause the whole team tired.
