Ham Ninh Fishing Village Food Tour: Private Crab Feast & Long Beach Sunset

It runs 5 hours door to door, starting with 2:30 pm hotel pickup. About an hour of it is the drive across the island and back, and most evenings you are at your hotel by about half past seven.

No. The old pier that appears in many older photos is no longer open to walk on, so we neither include it nor promise it. You still see the stilt houses, the boats and the shallow water from the waterfront.

No. Ham Ninh is on the east coast and faces the sunrise. We drive back to Long Beach on the west coast for the sunset, usually around 5:40 pm in November and close to 6:30 pm in July. Cloud can hide it, and a hidden sunset is not a reason for a refund.

At your own hotel anywhere in Duong Dong, Long Beach (including Bai Truong and Sonasea) or Ong Lang, at no extra cost. From the north of the island (Bai Dai, Grand World, Ganh Dau, Cua Can) or the south (An Thoi, Sunset Town, Bai Khem, Bai Sao) we collect you earlier, by however long the drive takes, and a transfer surcharge shown at checkout applies once per booking. Your guide waits in the lobby for 20 minutes.

Yes. This is a sample evening and every part of it can be adjusted: add a stop, skip one, or stay longer over the crab. Tell us before you book and we confirm the plan and an all-inclusive price in writing.

Yes. Your guide is a licensed Phu Quoc local who speaks fluent English, knows the crab kitchens at Ham Ninh, orders for you in Vietnamese and explains how and why islanders eat each dish as you go.

Yes, and the three menus share no dish. The market breakfast runs in the early morning and the sunset and seafood night stays in Duong Dong, so all three fit into one stay. Each is booked on its own page.

For the whole group, from one to four guests: the figure shown for two people is the total for both, so the cost per head falls as the group grows. Children under 5 eat with you free and do not count towards the group size; from 5 a child counts as one guest. For five or more, message us on WhatsApp for a quote.

Two ways: pay the full price online by card, or pay a 30% deposit online and the rest in cash on the day of the tour, in US dollars or Vietnamese dong. We can also send a secure payment link on WhatsApp. The booking is confirmed once the online payment goes through, and your pickup time and guide’s name arrive in writing.

Free cancellation up to 3 days before departure for a full refund, and free rescheduling subject to availability. Within 3 days of departure, 30% of the tour price is charged because the car and guide are already committed.

This tour is built on crab and mantis shrimp. With a shellfish allergy in the group it is not the right tour, and we would rather say so now: the sunset and seafood night can be rebuilt around grilled fish instead. It cannot be made vegetarian either; the market breakfast suits vegetarians best. For Muslim guests the menu is Muslim-friendly as written, seafood with no pork, and your guide checks the sauces and the fat used for the fried rice; we cannot promise halal-certified kitchens. If your group eats fish only, the sunset and seafood evening rebuilt around grilled fish suits you better. If one person would rather not eat crab, grilled fish takes its place. Seafood kitchens share pots and grills, so we cannot guarantee food free of allergen traces.

On a wet evening the sunset stop moves to a covered beachfront cafe. Rain does not stop the tours: you travel by private car and the tastings move under a roof. A wet evening does not change the price and there are no partial refunds, but you can also move the tour to another date free of charge. Clouds can hide the sunset at Dinh Cau or on Long Beach; that is not a reason for a refund. If an official storm or rough-weather warning affects Phu Quoc, we move your tour to another date, and if no date works for you, you get a full refund.

Clothes you do not mind getting crab on, sandals for the beach and a hat for the afternoon sun. Nothing on the menu needs paying on the day; bring a little cash for pearls or extras, and the balance in cash only if you chose to pay that way.
