Full description

Join our multi-generational fishing family for a uniquely authentic and hands-on day. This is more than a fishing trip; it’s a relaxing journey into island culture, designed for connection and discovery on Phú Quốc’s calm, protected waters.

Experience Authentic Local Fishing:
Immerse yourself in the daily rhythm of a traditional fisherman. This is a true nearshore experience focused on the abundant schools of small fish (think 7-12cm long in size) that are the heart of local coastal fishing. There’s always a chance for a slightly bigger surprise, but the real joy is in the peaceful, skillful process itself, a perfect activity to enjoy together with your partner or group in a stunning, serene setting.

Your All-Inclusive Day Includes:

Floating Village Welcome: Start at our family home in Rạch Vẹm, the oldest fishing village. Sip local coffee in a hammock, take in sea views, and tour our floating house and fish farm.

Hands-On Nearshore Fishing: Board a traditional boat with your guide and a seasoned fisherman. Learn local techniques to catch the small, plentiful fish that thrive in these calm border waters. It’s about skill, not size.

Snorkel & Forage: Dive into clear water to explore vibrant seagrass beds. Collect scallops and sea urchins, and discover fields of starfish in their natural habitat.

Private Beach BBQ: Anchor at a secluded beach for a fresh feast. Enjoy your day’s catch grilled alongside home-cooked Phú Quốc specialties from our restaurant.

Explore your own private Starfish Beach: Visit an secluded part of the famous beach known for its red starfish, perfect for photos and swimming.

A Free Keepsake: Craft a piece of seashell jewelry at our house—a unique souvenir of your day.
