Spend a full day fishing off Candidasa, snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Beach and Tanjung Jepun, then swimming and eating your catch on White Sand Beach. An English-speaking guide, equipment, hotel pickup, breakfast box, lunch, and return transport are included. The day suits active adults, but early starts and simple boat conditions require patience.

“Appalling. Not what was sold. picked up at 0400, driven 1.5hrs to a dingy hotel in middle of nowhere. Boat captain was squatting at side of road. Hotel wasn't open, so we had to wait to get in. Boat wasn't ready so we had to wait whilst the captain brought it round to beach. Boat was a scruffy outrigger. No creature comforts. No drinks of any sort. No breakfast box that we paid for.

6.Tam Giang Lagoon & Boat Day Trip with Fishing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $15Best value

From Hue, you’ll visit Uncle Ho’s House, climb the Ru Cha mangrove viewpoint, then cross Tam Giang Lagoon by sampan. Try rowing, casting nets, and fishing with local boatmen before sunset. Guides such as Happy and Long have earned warm praise, though clear communication may vary.

“The trip was marred by the weather which was unfortunate but we enjoyed Uncle Ho’s House and the lagoon trip. However our guide had a very strong accent which made her difficult to understand at times and she also struggled to understand us so we didn’t learn as much as we otherwise would have. This was frustrating. The guide was very pleasant and friendly but overall the trip would have been better if we could have communicated easier.”
