TL;DR
These day trips can be worthwhile, especially with teenagers, but heat and insects are real factors — bring repellent and plan accordingly.
What the community said
Mosquitoes and midges are common on nature-based excursions around Nha Trang, especially near waterfalls and jungle areas. Bring insect repellent spray and apply it to clothing before the trip.

The Orchid Peninsula with Monkey Island and the waterfall + mineral spring + crocodile farm combo are popular family day trips from Nha Trang. To manage the heat, opt for early morning departures and carry plenty of water.

Elephant rides are not a standard offering in Nha Trang's typical tour packages. If this is a priority, check directly with local tour agencies in the city, as it's not widely advertised online.
