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.
