PACIFYDe Gi - Vung Boi has become a favorite destination for tourists interested in diving and exploring nature after the whales appeared last year.
The journey starts from De Gi, the long-standing historical seaport of Binh Dinh, located in Cat Khanh commune, Phu Cat district. This site is about 50 km north of Quy Nhon City.
Tourists board the boat from De Gi estuary, go about 4 km, then come to Vung Boi, Vinh Loi village, My Thanh commune, Phu My district.
Tourists can book a package tour for about 1.500.000 VND for 3 days and two nights, including dining, fishing, night squid fishing, boats, homestay. In addition to Vung Boi with a clear blue beach, visitors can also visit Hon Trau island or explore the village giant squash. In addition to the 3 day 2 night tour, it is possible to take a shorter tour with a lower price.
After taking the train to Vung Boi, visitors go to the peninsula by canoe, then transfer items such as gas cylinders, stoves, camping gear, and food ashore.
Experiencing scuba diving is a favorite activity in Vung Boi. For those who know how to swim and dive and have strength, they can be instructed to shoot fish, hunt squid, and octopus.
Do Thanh Toan (Tommy Toan), a veteran diver and also an experienced safety instructor for guests, said that in addition to hunting fish, visitors can snorkel to see corals.
Families traveling in groups, with young children often choose to explore near the rocks to stay safe. They often swim, play, then eat and sing on the sand.
Catching crabs is a memorable experience for families. Mr. Van Linh, a tourist from Quang Ngai, said catching crabs is not easy but makes people excited. There are times when many people coordinate but still can't catch crabs.

The emerald green sea water between the surrounding rocks in the sea of De Gi - Vung Boi is like a lake in the middle of the sea.
In addition to scuba diving, catching crabs, hunting fish, visitors can also enjoy some outstanding dishes in the area such as sashimi (pictured), grilled, sweet-cooked fish, and oysters.
From the water to the shore, you can watch or climb the sand dunes stretching, more than 5 km2 wide, with ridges like sand waves.
Camping is an indispensable part of Vung Boi. You can stay overnight at the camp if you want to have fun the next day.
Thanks to bringing tourists to explore the area, Mr. Do Thanh Toan discovered whales about hunting last year (photo). The blue whales caused a fever in the media, making the De Gi - Vung Boi tour more attention.
"In the process of doing tourism, we pay attention to hygiene in Vung Boi, tourists are also conscious of cleaning up trash, making this place always green," said Do Cuong, one of the tour guides.
