that support their sacred way of life.

the boat; with any luck, we???ll see a magnificent red
sunset over the bay. Share your pictures with new
friends at the bar, where we will have buy one get one
free on selected drinks. A cooking demonstration
provided by our chef is a good way to take something
memorable and practical back home; he will be showing us
how to create some of Vietnam???s world-famous cuisine.

rolls in across the bay. Listen to live performances of
soulful traditional music under the light of a starry
sky and socialise with new and old friends. We have

restaurant before we transfer to the day boat for our

tilled by farmers on a daily basis.

colourful fish below.
