A coracle tour that takes about 45 minutes costs VND150,000 (US$6.50) per person. Visitors can watch crab fishing and fishermen performing a unique dance on their coracles.

They can also learn about the daily life of local farmers while participating in traditional activities including fishing and enjoying dishes made with freshly caught seafood.
