About the tour
Fishing on Phu Quoc is for those who value quiet, patience and the thrill of the catch. It's more than fishing — it's a true guys' ritual: no rocking boats, no early start, but big fish and a fair fight. The island gives you not just a catch, but the satisfaction of winning.
At 09:00 we pick you up from your hotel and drive you to a fishing lake. You'll fish from covered piers — in the shade, away from the scorching sun. The lake is home to big freshwater fish, and a photo with your trophy will be the shot of the trip. We provide the tackle, and the guide will help with bait and hooking.
Lunch is dishes made from freshly caught fish, plus fruit and local rum. We have you back at your hotel by 15:00.
Who it's for
Groups of guys, fishing fans, and anyone who gets seasick — there are no waves here. A great break from the beach.
Not recommended for
Those who want sea fishing — try our sunrise deep-sea fishing tour instead. This tour is designed for adults: if you're traveling with a child, please check with your manager.
