Detailed itinerary

Phu Quoc is not only attractive to tourists for its unspoiled beaches and azure waters but also for its spectacular landscapes and delicious cuisine. This island paradise is the ideal destination to enjoy nature’s beauty, especially as the sun sets over the horizon in the evening.

One of the most exciting activities to experience here is night squid fishing. After taking a boat out to sea, you will embark on an unforgettable adventure that allows you to connect with the local fishing culture. Floating on the water under a blanket of stars provides a unique and serene atmosphere.
To catch squid, you will need to drop the fishing line gradually into the water and wait patiently. When a squid approaches the artificial bait, you will feel the fishing rod become heavier and observe movement on the surface. At that moment, it’s time to pull the line up and reel in your catch!
Once you’ve successfully caught some squid, you can ask the boat owner to prepare it for you to enjoy fresh right on board. Savoring a delightful light dinner of your catch makes for a perfect ending to your evening before heading back to the harbor.
