Night Squid Fishing at Sơn Trà: 4 Hours at Sea, Catch and Grill Your Own Squid Right on the Boat

The night squid fishing tour at Son Tra Peninsula is a distinctly Da Nang experience that 90% of tourists don't yet know about. Departing from Tho Quang fishing port at 18:00, the boat sails out to sea for 30 minutes, drops anchor, and switches on an extremely bright high-power light system — the squid are drawn in and come flying toward it.

Guests need only a fishing rod (no hook needed, using a phosphorescent plastic lure), lower it 3-5m into the water, and pull it up gently. The squid will cling to the lure with its tentacles, so there's no need to jerk it hard. On average, each person catches 2-5 kg of squid within 3-4 hours.

The chef on the boat grills the squid right on the spot, fresh from your own catch — dip it in salt, pepper, and lime, paired with a cold beer, and enjoy it all under a sky full of stars. The tour lasts 4 hours, priced at 750,000-1,100,000 VND/person (including pickup and drop-off, fishing gear, cooking, and drinks). Book 1-2 days in advance via Klook or by grabbing a tour.
