Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Ha Long. It is run by Viet Nam Happy Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Wooden big boat transportation, BBQ dinner, sticky-rice wine, 2 beers and guide. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, Gratuities and Personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Viet Nam Happy Travel sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Viet Nam Happy Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

It was amazing. Spring, her sweet son and the skipper gave us such a wonderful evening. Spring is a good guide and her English is very good. The food from the bbq was great.

Great tour, there was just me and my boyfriend so felt private. My boyfriend caught his first fish, the two guys were nice and helpful. We mainly spoke to them through google translate but this wasn’t an issue at all . The food was amazing. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Really enjoyable way to spend an evening and a refreshing change of pace vs the buzz of the old town. It was really cool to learn about Vietnamese fishing nets and try our hand at pulling one up. We didn’t end up catching much but nonetheless enjoyed the boat trip and beautiful sunset, and were well fed with prepared skewers on the bbq. Would recommend!

Great activity from start to finish, very easy going, lovely kind people, close to town, loved the authentic experience, awesome food and I also caught a bunch of fish. He was so good on the bbq, cooking us the best fish weve eaten, offering us drinks, beers and some home made wine, loved every bit of it, such a tranquil time. Highly recommend!

We were lucky with the weather but unfortunately we did not get the chance to fish and we were BBQ'ing in the dark. I would suggest moving the time slot one hour earlier so you can enjoy eating while the sun is setting.

Wir hatten einen rundum perfekten Tag! Das Essen war hervorragend, frisch und sehr lecker. Das Angeln war einfach genial – tolle Bedingungen und ein super Erlebnis. Besonders schön war, dass wir sogar nur zu zweit waren und dadurch die Ruhe und die tolle Atmosphäre noch mehr genießen konnten. Alles hat perfekt gepasst. Wir kommen definitiv wieder und können es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! 🎣🍽️😊
