A basket boat ride on the Cua Can River, about 10 km north of Duong Dong. Local boatmen spin the round bamboo coracles to folk music while guests can try fishing, net casting, and pulling traditional fishing lines — the kind of activity that takes about 40 minutes in the water but leaves you watching the mangroves go past the whole time. The operator runs set-price tours from 200,000 ₫ (basic ride) up to 550,000 ₫ for the version that includes a set meal. Small groups, easy for anyone mobile enough to step in and out of a round boat.
