About the tour
A fiery sun sinks into the sea, the deck goes quiet — just the lapping of water and the thrill of waiting. It's one of the most atmospheric evenings on Phu Quoc, and you need neither experience nor an early start.
At 16:30 we pick you up from your hotel and take you to Duong Dong port. The boat heads out to the open sea, where you'll watch the sunset — far from the crowds and noise of the waterfront.
When darkness falls, the main event begins: night squid fishing. The squid swim toward the lamps, and you catch them on a simple line. The crew will show you how — even kids get the hang of it. A fresh seafood dinner is cooked right on board, served with fruit and local rum. By 21:00 you're back at your hotel.
Who it's for
Couples, families with kids and groups of friends. A great choice for your first or last evening on the island.
Not recommended for
Those who get badly seasick: the open sea can get choppy, so take motion sickness pills in advance.
