Second, the variety of activities, including snorkeling and deep-sea fishing, keeps the day lively and engaging. We also appreciate the professional guidance and the chance to enjoy a delicious onboard lunch, all in a relaxed, small-group setting.

Picking Up and Starting the Day

The adventure begins at 8:00 am, with a pickup from your hotel within Duong Dong town. This inclusivity is a real plus, saving you from the hassle of arranging transport. The guide, possibly Ms. Vi, will collect your group and set the tone for a relaxed day on the water. Expect a quick ride to the port, where your boat—specifically equipped for sea fishing—awaits.

The Journey to Coconut Islet & Ocean World

The first stop is Coconut Islet and the Ocean World Sea Sports Entertainment Center. Here, you might find opportunities for self-funded activities like flyboarding, jet skiing, or parasailing—an optional but exciting way to spice up the morning. We loved the way this segment offers both a taste of thrill and a chance to soak in the surroundings from the water.

Coral Park and Sea Walking

Next, the boat heads to Coral Park, where you can experience sea walking—a unique activity that lets you walk along the seabed with minimal equipment, which is self-funded but worth considering if you’re after a hands-on underwater adventure. This part of the tour underscores how flexible the experience is; you can choose to participate or simply enjoy the scenic views from the boat.
