    1. Phu Quoc Island

      Pass by without stopping

    2. One of the most exciting activities to experience here is night squid fishing. After taking a boat out to sea, you will embark on an unforgettable adventure that allows you to connect with the local fishing culture. Floating on the water under a blanket of stars provides a unique and serene atmosphere. To catch squid, you will need to drop the fishing line gradually into the water and wait patiently. When a squid approaches the artificial bait, you will feel the fishing rod become heavier and observe movement on the surface. At that moment, it’s time to pull the line up and reel in your catch! Once you’ve successfully caught some squid, you can ask the boat owner to prepare it for you to enjoy fresh right on board. Savoring a delightful light dinner of your catch makes for a perfect ending to your evening before heading back to the harbor.

    Had a nice evening on the boat. Great value!

    Ocean was calm, sunset was beautiful. We shared a boat with 50 people. All benches are wood plank so after a while, get a bit uncomfortable. As for the squid fishing, we went knowing the likelihood of actually catching a squid was remote. One fella caught a small squid. Didn't see anyone else catch one. We didn't care. Jigging off the side of the boat was easy, anyone can do it, and when you get tured if that, you can just enjoy the ocean, the lights on bay, and the people ariund you. We primarily went for the boat ride and dinner. We enjoyed the dinner. Dinner was a seafood chowder, BBQ shrimp skewers, noodles and fruit. Bottled water was freely available. You could also order and pay extra for a variety of different clams to be prepared specifically for you. We enjoyed our time. We are seniors from Canada

    Response from the operator: Hello KathleensH2240VL, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the calm ocean and beautiful sunset. It's great to know that you had a good time on the boat, even with a larger group. We're glad you found the dinner enjoyable, especially the seafood chowder and BBQ shrimp skewers. Thank you for your feedback about the seating; we appreciate it and will take it into consideration. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in the future! Hoi An Express Travel

    Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phu Quoc.

    How much does Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $87 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phu Quoc usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phu Quoc is not rushed.

    Is Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phu Quoc, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phu Quoc can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phu Quoc and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Phu Quoc Night Squid Fishing Boat Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phu Quoc within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Phu Quoc?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Phu Quoc experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ho Chi Minh City: Motorbike Street Food Tour with 12 Tastings, Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Phu Quoc Island with Hotel Pick Up, Best Seller-Private Full-Day Tour to Ninh Binh Depart from Hanoi. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Phu Quoc?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Phu Quoc?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
