The Tour
Hue’s afternoon escape, out on the water with the people who work it.
Hue is a city of tombs, citadels and traffic, and by the second afternoon most people are ready for water. Tam Giang is the largest lagoon in Southeast Asia and it sits a short drive from the centre, a flat expanse of fish traps, stilt houses and boats that has supported the same communities for generations.
You drive out through the countryside to a fishing village, board a traditional boat and head out past the traps while your guide explains how it all works. You join the fishermen to check the traps and collect shellfish, then carry on to a small sandy islet where you can swim, try stand-up paddleboarding or simply sit. It ends with a seafood dinner as the light goes, then the drive back to Hue. It is private, so the afternoon runs at your pace.
