You start on a rocky trail where the inland forest meets the gulf: humidity clings to the leaves and every step pulls you higher toward Hon En's ridgeline. The 2.5 km ascent is compact but varied—steep switchbacks, exposed roots and short rock steps—and it opens onto a raw summit where the sea unfurls in a broad blue arc.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You start on a rocky trail where the inland forest meets the gulf: humidity clings to the leaves and every step pulls you higher toward Hon En's ridgeline. The 2.5 km ascent is compact but varied—steep switchbacks, exposed roots and short rock steps—and it opens onto a raw summit where the sea unfurls in a broad blue arc.
Hon En mixes local folklore and coastal geology: limestone outcrops, volcanic soils inland, and a small shrine marking the spot associated with the Thien Y Ana Thanh Mau legend. Locals have used these slopes for generations as watching points over fishing lanes, and the ridge still holds scrubby forest interrupted by panoramic sea vistas.
After a brief rest at the top, certified tandem pilots rig the gliders while guides walk through safety checks. The takeoff area is short and requires a running launch; once airborne you float above the bay, islands and patchwork rice fields—an uncomplicated way to see Nha Trang from a new angle without prior training.
Practical guide: plan for a 5–6 hour outing that includes round-trip transport from Nha Trang, light snacks, and one tandem flight. Wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring water, and expect uneven terrain and sun exposure. The operator advises against the activity for pregnant travelers and people with serious back or heart conditions. Book morning slots if you prefer calmer winds and cooler temperatures; afternoons can be thermic and bumpy.
moderate.
5–6 hours.
Suitable for people with basic hiking fitness; you should be comfortable walking uphill over uneven ground for short periods.
No—this is a tandem flight with a certified pilot who handles all technical controls; participants run a short launch and relax during flight.
The route is 2.5 km with some steep and uneven sections; it’s short but can feel strenuous for those unused to rocky ascents.
Typical inclusions are round-trip transportation from Nha Trang, hiking and paragliding equipment, a guided hike, an energy bar, and fruit/drink after the flight.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious spinal or cardiovascular conditions; operators may enforce age/weight limits for tandem flights.
The ridge has long been a local lookout over fishing lanes and contains small religious sites tied to regional folklore, including the Thien Y Ana Thanh Mau legend.
Stay on marked trails to prevent erosion, pack out all trash, and avoid feeding wildlife; paragliding operations should follow local site-use limits to protect sensitive ridge vegetation.
