Not what we were hoping for
The guide barely spoke to us, no one caught anything and the food was very average. Two small bites of squid in the mushy soup and for the bbq beware that you must catch squid to eat it or purchase from a small range of shellfish to eat the bbq, otherwise boiled prawns and two minute noodle on a plate with a few fishermen sitting around smoking and spitting…

Great experience, even though we didn’t catch anything the fun and food we had on the tour was fantastic.
We had a great time. My teenage boys had a blast even though we only caught one squid the experience was fantastic The tour team were great at communicating the pick up times and the boat crew were great fun. The dinner they cook up for us was delicious too. The view from the boat back to sure at night was stunning. Great tour I highly recommend

A great night out
As a family of three, this is a very affordable experience. We did not catch any squid (was not the right season) but was great attempting and learning. Had lots of time on deck relaxing prior which was nice. And took some great photos. Dinner was delicious, tried food we would never have ordered before. Would go again in the right season, next trip to Phu Quoc.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re glad you and your family enjoyed the experience, even though it wasn’t the best season for squid fishing. We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to Phu Quoc.

Best tour guide and wonder experience
The overall arrangement was excellent as it provided round trip to the places you wanted to go even your hotel is far away and the price is sooooo cheap. It also included a dinner with shrimp, fried noodles, squid congee and watermelon, and you can buy extra seafood and drinks if you wish with very reasonable prices. Though we caught no squid at all which made us a bit disappointed, the experience is marvelous. The tour guide Neko is helpful and exceptional who I think can speak the best English in Phu Quoc. He is also very funny and perform wonderful magic shows to us. All in all, the night trip is very enjoyable!
Response from the operator: Xin chao Melody L, Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the tour arrangement, dinner, and our guide Neko’s service and entertainment. We’re sorry that no squid was caught this time, as it can be unpredictable, but we’re happy you still had a memorable night. We look forward to welcoming you again in Phu Quoc! Warm regards, Jasmine.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phu Quoc.
How much does Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing?
+
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 Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing?
+
Around 6 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Red River Private Tour : Sunset and Night Squid Fishing 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.
