TOUR ITINERARY

7:30: Early start, by the sea – Dinh Cau & Bach Dang waterfront

We begin while the morning is still cool. At Dinh Cau Shrine, perched on the rocks where the Duong Dong River meets the sea, local fishermen still pause to pray before heading out. From here we walk the Bach Dang waterfront and cross the old Duong Dong bridge, watching the wooden fishing boats sway on the water.

There’s an optional stroll into Duong Dong market for those who want a closer look at island life as it actually happens: watch locals trade fish and meat, then take in the whole bustling scene from the bridge above.

Head north to wild mangroves: a world away from the busy south — paddle a kayak or ride a basket boat down the quiet river.

The Cua Can winds through an untouched mangrove forest, and it’s one of the most peaceful corners of the island. Drift your way through it: settle into a traditional round bamboo basket boat and let your boatwoman do the work, or take a kayak/SUP if you’d rather paddle. Either way, the river belongs to you for a while – no engines, no noise, just water and forest.

11:30 – 14:00: Slow down at a northern farmhouse (1,5 – 2 hours)

Get hands-on with a few Vietnamese dishes, then share a truly local feast.

After lunchtime, start to discover the island’s “spicy pepper, salty sauce”:

See how a three-generation pepper garden is grown and harvested, then visit a barrel house to learn where the boats go – and how that “liquid gold” is patiently drawn. Here you can see, taste and buy home to support the local economy if you like. 

15:30: Back in town wind down over Vietnamese coffee in an old house, and take home the photos to remember it by.

We have you back at your hotel by late afternoon.
