What makes this experience unique?
You'll meet the fishermen in person, hear them tell stories about crabbing, fishing, and how the mangrove forest is an essential part of their lives. The most unique activity is rowing a traditional bamboo basket boat, a skill that is both rustic and requires courage and dexterity—something most other tours don't offer. Instead of traveling by car, walking, or sitting on a tourist boat, you'll be the one steering the boat through the network of mangrove canals, feeling the rhythm of the oars and the sound of the water—right within this unique mangrove ecosystem.
What you'll get to experience with us
You start by leaving the ancient town to enter the vast natural space, where the sounds are the wind and water. When you get on the round boat, you will paddle yourself or learn how to move under guidance, feeling every movement of the bamboo and water around. Besides, you can try the technique of using a round net, releasing the net like fishermen do, even catching crabs right in their natural living environment — experiences that very few rural or ecological tours offer. Throughout the journey, you will hear about how to preserve the water coconut forest, the role of this ecosystem in fishing and community life, helping you not only see the beauty but also understand and feel the real life in Cam Thanh.
