Description

Step away from the busy coast and into the peaceful world of Cồn Chim, one of Quy Nhơn’s most tranquil mangrove sanctuaries. Hidden among calm lagoons and shaded waterways, this is where local fishermen have lived with the tides for generations.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive to the wetlands of Con Chim, where still waters, mangrove forests, and birdsong create a world far from the city. Choose to explore by SUP board for a quiet glide through the mangroves, or relax on a small boat and enjoy the lagoon at an easy pace.

Along the way, join local fishermen for a hands-on experience using traditional fishing traps to catch prawns, fish, or crabs. You will also visit a local aquaculture area to learn about the region’s semi-wild farming method, a traditional way of raising seafood in harmony with nature.

After a peaceful morning on the water, enjoy a fresh seafood lunch and take home memories of one of Quy Nhơn’s most authentic eco-experiences.

Important Information

• Suitable for beginners; no SUP experience required
  Guests should bring sunscreen, extra clothes, and waterproof bags
  Activities may vary depending on tide levels and weather
  Guests are kindly asked not to use drones or flycams, following Vietnamese regulations
  Cồn Chim gets its name from the flocks of birds that live and rest on its sandy islet. These birds usually return in the late afternoon, so travelers visiting in the morning may not see many of them
  Some bird species move in large flocks, while others travel alone, so spotting them also depends on a bit of luck
  Because all the birds here live completely in the wild, their appearance, both in location and timing, depends entirely on nature. For this reason, there may be trips where guests do not see any birds, and we kindly ask for your understanding
