A whale, about 5 m long, was spotted foraging near Hon Mun island in Nha Trang Bay on the morning of 26/5, drawing attention from locals and tourists.

The appearance of predatory whales close to shore in mid-May has transformed Cu Lao Mai Nha islet into an attractive destination for tourists and photographers.

Numerous tourist boats and canoes carrying passengers are getting dangerously close to whales hunting for food at Cu Lao Mai Nha, posing risks to marine life and sustainable tourism development.
