The Salangane Kingdom
The “Kingdom of salanganes” is a must-see for tourists when they pay a trip to Nha Trang City
that is endowed with one of the world’s most beautiful bays.
Noi Islet In Cam Ranh Bay has been ranked second for it annual
birds' nest output in Khanh Hoa Province.
It takes tourists many hours traveling on a speedboat to reach the lands of sanlanganes. So, at
7:30 a.m. the boat weighs anchor at Cau Da Wharf. A light breakfast on the boat weaving the
waves in the morning sun makes tourists feel excited about the landscapes from the southeast of
Nha Trang Bay to Cam Ranh waters.
The salangane islets are always an interesting destination, as they are up to 40 nautical miles
offshore, crowded with salangane flocks and bird’s nest output which is the highest in the
country. From March to September is an ideal time for vacationers to discover the life of
salanganes thanks to the calm sea and this is also the nest building season of the birds.
Nha Trang-based Sanest Tourist is responsible for organizing tours. The tour operator receives
only 60 guests for each trip so as to avoid bad effects on the salanganes’ home where they have
lived for hundreds of years.
The first stop is Du Ha Cave behind Noi Islet, which ranks second for its annual bird’s nest
output among the 24 salangane islets off Nha Trang. The boat draws up alongside of a pontoon
bridge for tourists to contemplate salanganes flying above the sky and landing on the rocks.
These are “housekeeping” salanganes; other birds often fly tens of kilometers away from their
nests to feed in the early morning.
The boat then sails to Sam Islet. Tourists will follow the tour guide crossing a bamboo bridge to
visit a tent on a rocky mountain on the islet. It’s worth remembering hardy seagulls flying in the
sunshine. Thanks for the protection of salangane islets and the ban on hunting sea birds, the
schools of seagulls there grow rapidly.
A small cement road leads tourists to the cave of salanganes. Stopping by a security corridor and
turning on the flashlight, travelers will see birds’ nests stuck to the cliffs. After visiting the cave,

they board the boat to contemplate corals in various shapes and sizes. Through the glass bottom
of the boat, guests will enjoy the world of colorful corals as if they were diving to survey corals
by themselves.
Finally, the boat visits Noi Islet where broken corals were crushed by sea waves. The 10-year-
old altar with a yard in the shade of tropical almonds is a rest stop for guests. When paying a trip
to the salangane islets, tourists should not miss a chance to enjoy beautiful beaches there, and
then climb some 100 steps to reach the top of Du Ha Mountain to listen to sea breezes and feel
so small among the enormous ocean.
