Description

Experience Life as a Local Fisherman on Phú Quốc Island Immerse yourself in the authentic life of a local fisherman on this private fishing trip in beautiful Phú Quốc. Guided by an experienced local fisherman with over 30 years of knowledge, along with an English-speaking guide, you'll discover traditional techniques passed down through generations. Your adventure begins at our floating house in the peaceful fishing village of Rạch Vẹm, the oldest on the island. Start your day by relaxing in a hammock, enjoying complimentary coffee or tea, and taking in the breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding mountains. Before heading out on the boat, explore the local fish farms that sustain the village, and learn about the fishing practices that have shaped this community for decades We will also give you some background on how our floating village operates and its unique way of life. Once aboard a traditional fishing boat, you'll embark on a private, hands-on experience. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or a beginner, you'll be guided through the techniques locals use to cast nets and catch small to medium-sized fish in the calm waters along the Vietnam-Cambodia border. Beyond fishing, you’ll also have the chance to dive into the underwater world. Snorkel through the clear waters to collect scallops and sea urchins, while observing the unique ecosystems of starfish and seagrass that thrive in this environment. After a period of learning and exploration, you’ll anchor at a private beach to enjoy a delicious seafood BBQ on a secluded private beach. The meal includes the fish you’ve caught, paired with several home-cooked dishes that showcase the authentic flavors of Phú Quốc. Following the BBQ, you can relax, swim, or even help the fishermen chase fish into nets. As the day continues, you’ll visit the stunning Starfish Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters, white sand and of course the abundance of starfish. After spending some time soaking in the beauty of this unique destination, you’ll return to our floating house where you can reflect on your adventure. To finish your experience, you can choose to end the day or stay longer to make some seashell jewelry—free of charge—as a memorable keepsake of your day as a fisherman. This unique experience offers the chance to connect with local culture, all while learning the skills of a true island fisherman.
