Witness firsthand the daily life of local fishermen from their return from sea all the way to how they go about selling their catch of the day accompanied by the scenic view of the coastal sunrise over the horizon.
You will start your adventure in the early morning. As soon as you board the bus from your accommodation, you will make your way to the pier and start cruising through Thu Bon river to the mouth of the Cua Dai Sea. There, you will how local fishermen and market stall owners unload and prepare their catch for sale at the market. Witness and take part in the daily spectacle of the fishermen’s arrival to shore and the market, all of them returning to shore after a long night of fishing and bringing their bountiful catch back for sale. Feel the fresh morning air and the bustling life of the daily fish market buzz and get the chance to help the fishermen unload their fresh catch from their boats. After exploring the busy market, take the chance to row and paddle one of the local’s very own bamboo basket boat. The small size of the boat belies the true capability of the boat including supporting the weight of well over 3 people in one go. Also, do not forget to feast your eyes on the magnificent view as the sun rises over the coast. Sit down and chill on the boat and watch the beautiful sun rises up from Cua Dai beach as the dark sky slowly give way to the beautiful azure sky. This will also be the perfect opportunity for you to get your camera out and capture the many beautiful sights of the local business and golden sunrise over the horizon so be sure to charge up your camera and get busy with that snapping.
Along the way, you will see the water coconut jungle and the residence the locals on both banks of the Thu Bon river. Here, you will come to realise just how peaceful this whole area is. You will also see a few small canals cut in the middle of the coconut forest creating a pretty meandering waterway route that leads back to the ocean. Thu Bon River itself plays an important role in the geography, culture and history of Hoi An. Not only is it the main venue for most festivals and events held in Hoi An, but it is also the main source of livelihood for many residents of the town. Afterwards, you will go back onto the main boat and tuck yourself into a traditional fisherman’s breakfast on-board as you cruise back to Hoi An. Arrive back at the port around 7 A.M. where a driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
