Here are some information I know about Monkey Island in Lao Island:
I had an impressive trip in a summer month, exactly in August ,I had never visited Nha Trang before because my schedule was quite full and I did not have enough money for the trip so when I saved a little money I started to think about Nha Trang trip.
My friends recommended me for some famous places in Nha Trang and I also search the information on the internet , I saw Monkey Island has been one of the most famous places in Nha Trang attracting so many tourists , so I chose it for my list of placesI decided to travel to Nha Trang in August because it was the high time for travel and many people came here in this month.
After arriving in central Nha Trang and sightseeing places according to my list of places, I continued to depart for Lao Island to visit Monkey Island.
Monkey Island is about 15 kilometres north of the center Nha Trang located on the Lao Island , Nha Phu Bay. If you want to go to Monkey Island, you have to buy the ticket at the port of Long Phu Tourist company ( native people call it Da Chong port). You go straight along the National Highway 1A in the north way from Nha Trang center about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes on the boat, I had set foot on the sea island called Monkey Island . This island is very wild and attractive. There are more than 1,200 monkeys living here with only two kinds of monkey, those are Macaca Macaca and Rherus Fassicularit. I heard about the information about the monkey from the scientist. The monkeys are so cute and they are harmless, just like playing, we stand nearby and throw bananas for them .
They gather around and not dare to come near to visitors but when they eat a lot of bananas from visitors they come closer many monkeys. There are so many monkeys here and wherever you go , you can see monkeys around that is why they call the island as Monkey Island.
There are some people training monkeys to do the circus, they are professional because they performer like people, they can ride a bike, cyclo . So I admired those smart monkeys very much and you can also see the dag racing.
Here are the photos of Monkey Island tour: Circus Monkey, ostrich riding, Circus Elephant, Hon Lao Beach, Monkey Riding racing Dog. When I came to Monkey Island, I enjoyed watching the monkeys playing together, feeding them and especially sea diving to see the coral , if I have another opportunity to visit Monkey Island I would go here again. You should visit here once to feel the island's wildness and discover the monkey life.
I hope you guys will have an interesting trip to Monkey Island in Nha Trang!
