Fantastic experience! The beach was wonderful. Lots of starfish and crystal clear water for swimming. Our highlight tho was the meal at the family restaurant! The family is so welcoming and wonderful! We had a ton of fun hanging out afterwards and fishing off the dock and chatting with the family.

We really enjoyed this day out in the water front village… Everyone was really friendly and welcoming l. Lunch was excellent and we left full ❤️ Star beach was little disappointing… not clean

Excellent trip with friendly locals who took us to a Starfish beach followed by the best meal we have had in Vietnam ( and we have had some great ones!) Rustic set up of a floating restaurant- which exudes charm and feels like you have had a privileged invitation to someone’s home - and mum is a brilliant cook. Such a lovely natural environment all built on stilts in the water. Go there soon as I believe developers have bought the surrounding land and will be pushing these wonderful entrepreneurs out of the area. Shame as we enjoyed this day more than any I could have done in a resort. Wish I had taken pictures of the food but we were too busy devouring it!

I went early for this trip so arriving at the meeting point for just after 8am …. I highly recommend doing that if possible as this meant getting to starfish beach before others so it made for a lovely experience pretty much having the whole beach to yourself. The food provided was excellent and the staff really friendly and helpful

We did a last minute booking. The communication was great. English speaking hosts made it easier to get the best out of the experience and tick most of our boxes. Attended the event with 2 adults 1 pensioner and 2 children. Seafood lunch was absolutely awesome - especially the steamed fish!

When we arrived the family warmly welcomed us. They took us to the starfish beach by boat and we could stay there with no time pressure, which was very nice! At the restaurant we got a very delicious seafood meal. On top they offered us snorkeling & fishing and we caught our own scallops, which they cooked immediately for us to eat. The family is very friendly and accommodating!! We really enjoyed the food and had an amazing time there! We can totally recommend it.
