Hoi An Fish Market Tour Itinerary
Hoi An Hotel–Duy Nghia Harbor
5:00 AM: Our local tour guide and private car will pick you up at your accommodation in Hoi An. After you meet them, the sunrise fish market tour in Hoi An starts.
During the transfer to the fish harbor, the tour guide will give you some interesting details about Hoi An and its people, such as the local community’s daily life, customs, traditional occupations, and more.
5:30 AM: Your team arrives at Duy Nghia Harbor and starts exploring it.
Usually, around this time, fishing boats return to the harbor after a night offshore catching fish. Then, buzzing Hoi An fish market activities begin with the exciting noises of boats, fishermen, and fish wholesalers.
Bunches of fish, squids, crabs, etc. will be displayed and transferred all around the harbor, creating an eye-catching sight. The tour guide can help you talk to the locals, explain the types of fish, and show you how to buy fresh fish.
Otherwise, you can stay at the nearby cafeteria to enjoy a cup of Vietnamese morning coffee while watching the harbor scenery imbued with fantastic dawn moments.
7:00 AM: After that, you move on to a traditional fish sauce-making factory. You can observe the making process of Hoi An’s signature hand-made fish sauce. It’s more flavorful than the mass-manufactured industrial one.
