Detailed Itinerary
There are two time slots available for you to join:
Morning: 07:00 - 12:30
Afternoon: 12:30 - 17:00
07:00 (12:30): Daiichi Bus will pick you up from the center of Cat Ba town and take you to the entrance of the mangrove forest in Ao Coi Village, Phu Long Commune.
If you arrange your own transportation, the guide will meet you directly at the mangrove forest entrance in Ao Coi Village, Phu Long Commune. Tour price will be reduced to 380,000 VND per guest.
08:00 (13:30): The guide will welcome and lead you to begin the exploration of the mangrove forest.
08:15 (13:45): The first activity is clam digging in the swamp area.
To catch the clams hiding under the mud, you need to be skillful. Gently move your feet through the mud and feel for clams. If you touch one, quickly catch it. Be careful not to step too hard, as the clams will burrow deeper into the mud and be harder to find.
The clams you catch will be steamed with lemongrass right there for you to enjoy.
09:00 (14:15): Sit on a small boat and venture deeper into the mangrove forest, immersing yourself in the pristine beauty of Cat Ba's mangroves.
On either side, you’ll see rows of lush green mangroves creating a magical natural landscape. The fresh, cool air combined with the tranquility of the place will provide a relaxing experience, allowing you to fully connect with nature.
09:30 (14:45): Enjoy activities such as SUP boarding to explore the forest, swimming, and taking photos against the scenic, unspoiled backdrop.
11:00 (16:30): Return to the shore, rest, and enjoy the steamed clams - the reward from your clam digging adventure.
12:30 (17:00): The vehicle will take you back to the center of Cat Ba town, concluding your exciting and immersive journey.
