Binh Dinh 's De Gi - Vung Boi area has become a favorite destination for tourists who enjoy scuba diving and exploring nature after a pod of whales appeared last year.
The journey begins at De Gi, a historic seaport in Binh Dinh province, located in Cat Khanh commune, Phu Cat district. This location is approximately 50 km north of Quy Nhon city.
Tourists board the boat at the De Gi estuary and travel about 4 km to reach Vung Boi, located in Vinh Loi hamlet, My Thanh commune, Phu My district.
Tourists can book an all-inclusive tour for around 1,500,000 VND for 3 days and 2 nights, including meals, fishing, night squid fishing, boat trips, and homestay. Besides Vung Boi with its pristine beaches, visitors can also visit Hon Trau Island or explore the giant gourd village. In addition to the 3-day, 2-night tour, shorter, lower-priced tours are also available.
After arriving at Vung Boi by boat, tourists disembark onto the peninsula by canoe, then transfer items such as gas cylinders, stoves, camping equipment, and food ashore.
Scuba diving is a popular activity in Vung Boi. Those who know how to swim and dive and are strong enough can be guided in spearfishing, squid hunting, and octopus hunting.
Do Thanh Toan (Tommy Toan), a veteran diver and experienced safety instructor for tourists, said that in addition to fishing, visitors can also go snorkeling to admire the coral reefs.
Families traveling in groups, especially those with young children, often choose to explore near the rocky shore for safety. They typically swim, play, and then eat, drink, and sing on the sand.
Crab catching is a memorable experience for families. Van Linh, a tourist from
Quang Ngai , said that catching crabs isn't easy but it's exciting for everyone. Sometimes, even with many people working together, they still can't catch a crab.
The green-backed crab hides in the crevices of the rocks on the Vung Boi peninsula.
The turquoise seawater nestled among rocks in the De Gi - Vung Boi area resembles a lake in the middle of the ocean.
Besides scuba diving, crabbing, and fishing, visitors can also enjoy some of the area's outstanding dishes such as sashimi (pictured), grilled fish, sweet-cooked fish, and shellfish.
From the water to the shore, you can admire or climb the vast sand dunes, spanning over 5 square kilometers, with patterns resembling sand waves.
Camping is an essential part of the experience in Vung Boi. You can stay overnight if you want to continue enjoying yourself the next day.
Thanks to guiding tourists to explore the area, Mr. Do Thanh Toan discovered
a pod of whales hunting last year (photo). The blue whales caused a sensation in the media, making the De Gi - Vung Boi tour more popular. "During the tourism process, we pay attention to maintaining cleanliness in Vung Boi, and tourists are also conscious of cleaning up trash, keeping the place always clean and green," said Mr. Do Cuong, one of the tour guides.
