This is one of the rare tours in Cat Ba where you actually get to fish – not just watch a demo, but really cast your line and try your luck, side by side with a local expert. Guided by Chans, a warm and knowledgeable local, you’ll dive straight into island life with hands-on fishing in the serene waters of Cai Beo Floating Village and Vem Lake where the waters are teeming with local fish like Snapper, Bream, and even Barramundi. It’s a proper experience, not a show — and that’s what makes it special.If you’re the kind of traveller who wants to truly get involved and see a genuine side of Cat Ba, this is for you. With Chans as your guide, you won’t just learn how to fish — you’ll also get local stories and insights that make you feel like you’re travelling with a friend.
