Ho Chi Minh City (still called Saigon by many) is Vietnam’s busiest hub — full of culture, food, and energy. But after a few days in the city, most travelers start looking for something different: a day trip that offers fresh air, nature, and adventure.
Most visitors head to the Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels, or nearby temples. But there’s another option that’s wild, authentic, and unforgettable: a private fishing tour.
🚐 Classic Day Trips from Ho Chi Minh City
If you search for day trips from Saigon, you’ll find plenty of options, such as:
- Mekong Delta tours – floating markets and boat rides.
- Cu Chi Tunnels – Vietnam War history.
- Vũng Tàu beach – a coastal escape.
- Cao Đài Temple – unique spiritual site.
These are great, but they’re also crowded and touristy. If you want something more original — something that takes you off the beaten path — fishing is a perfect choice.
🎣 A Different Kind of Day Trip: Fishing Tours
At Angler’s Vietnam, we specialize in wild fishing tours just outside the city. Unlike many stocked-lake trips, all of our tours are in natural waters — rivers, lakes, and mangroves full of local species.
Here’s why fishing makes the perfect day trip:
- ✅ Close to the city – all tours are within a short drive of downtown Saigon.
- ✅ Private experience – only one group per day.
- ✅ Everything included – rods, reels, lures, transport, and guide.
- ✅ Authentic adventure – catch wild fish in natural habitats.
